    Default Narc functions versus empath functions

    Disclaimer: I don't use the term 'narcissism' to be an insult or 'empathy' as a compliment, just to illustrate the point of narcissistic functions vs. empathetic functions.

    There are 4 narcissistic functions. They are: Ni, Te, Ne and Ti.

    And likewise there are 4 functions of empathy. They are Fi, Fe, Si & Se.

    I think that a narcissistic polr hurts your chance of personal success, whereas an empathetic polr hurts your interpersonal relationships.

    So quite crudely, when people tell a person with a narcissistic polr that they need to toughen up and just be more selfish, it actually does have a lot of truth to it. It's just not usually all that socially wise to be that direct with people. When people morally chastise somebody with an empathetic polr.... that has a lot of truth to it as well, but you probably really have to do it in a way that they could take, be a person in their same quadra, emotionally close to them already, and a lot of other factors.

    Notice how in dual pairs, the leading function of one is narc and the other its empath.

    Empath function is Fi.

    Dual type (as per tcaudilllg)
    Enneagram 5 (wings either 4 or 6)?


    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    maritsa rate all 8 functions in order from most narcissistic to most empathetic.

    I'm bored and I need something to entertain myself while my video game is downloading.

    btw I love you.

    A narcissist usually disregards other people. This is an emotional response to some sort of stimuli either one acquired by external factors or one built due to external factors any type can be this way.

    I think you'd get a lot more customers on your life coaching site if you lowered the prices.

    Have you ever got any clients on that thing?

    Yes, I have a few clients. I'm not lowering the price. I don't want a swarm of people who don't know what they want and don't want to invest money getting it. I'm looking for quality not quantity. I always offer lower prices. God knows how many free clients I've taken up.

    Hi
    But, for a certainty, back then,
    We loved so many, yet hated so much,
    We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

    Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
    Whilst our laughter echoed,
    Under cerulean skies...

    I love it when Betas talk about empathy either way. Ivory tower sort of empathy gives me a fresh and less disturbing perspective on cruelty .

    Interesting read: "The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic.". From the article and my understanding, empathy is rather related to the Irrational functions (perception-based, instead of premeditation: convictions, ethics, taste) and on the Ne/Si side IMO - Ni/Se view the global comprehensive side of things, such as "the best", "ultimate", "universal" or "eternal". Se and Te at least, in which the maximum concrete outcome is the only sensible answer, are out of the equation, though they would be capable of the best charitable deal which no one could dispute.

    There's a difference between talking about being a thinker in Jung's types and thinking in general as a category...

    As Jung's types, your categories are wrong. I've seen people use Fe to subjugate other people to their own beliefs, no matter how ignorant or ill-founded they may be; and I've seen people use Ti to settle disputes by making all parties involved feel that how everything was resolved came out fair or...I've seen people use Te to tell people what must be done in regards to their person, no matter how ignorant or ill-founded the Te may be; and I've seen people use Fi to justify taking a choice of hurting few people over many people...

    Saying shit like this just isn't right; it gives people deluded ideas to make judgments on and makes some people (Ni, Ti, Te, Ne types) feel ethically violated by your categorizations.

    Why do this?

    Edit: I know Ti was represented positively. Whatever, I'm not editing this. It's true information. And all I'm doing is showing you why you're wrong (hopefully you'll listen).

    I would say that Se is narc and Ni is empathy but that doesn't really make sense for esfj. Haha.

    Idk to me Ni is really an empathetic function. Like an ESFj wouldn't be purposefully narc but their misdirected good intentions would be something similar to narc because of the hurt they might cause by having Ni polr. Dos that make sense? Se seems more narc to me..I think it really is more rigid and fragile in some ways. Ni has "give" and wisdom.

    Yes it does. <3

    Your Se always clears up my confusion. I hope my Ni does the same for you.

    Agree with the OP.

    I see a web site some month ago who state something similar, Fx as oral stage , Nx as narcissism, Tx as anal stade, Sx as I dont remember.

    I suppose (and only SUPPOSE) that narcissism is not especially when N is at dom or aux function, because the function can take naturally too much type of information (experience, social, personnal, ect) , this not allowing to be really "self-centered" and unaware that imaginative self is not in track with reality.
    Perhaps a Nx HA can do more the trick.


    Yeah I was just thinking INFjs don't really fit this.
    You dont know about the hidden narcissism of INFj ?

    Ni is empathy
    lolwut ? or just another mystiped INFj/INFp ?
