are there any particular intertype relations where you're less likely to see what their weaknesses are or notice that they need help with anything?
not sure if this applies to what you're asking, but i think that duals would be less likely to look negatively at the other's weaknesses because it is their strength. It's not so much a pity thing because they feel honored to be needed by their partner and to help.
my firs thought though was maybe identical relations because they would obviously have the same exact functions, but then again, they would easily identify each others weaknesses because they'd be their OWN weaknesses... which i could see turning into hostility (projecting onto the other person) if they're not both healthy.
Idk, maybe Mirror to be honest.
Mirrors to me always come across like independent drag queens who always have everything under control. Giving them assistance with anything feels wrong, and like they'd bite my head off for even thinking such a co-dependent thought. It's definitely not conflictor, because with those- both of you are always helping the other person publically to not look like an evil cunt in public, but in secret you want the other to die.
(I think w/mirrors, both parties are focused upon the same externals; they aren't reading the insides of another which naturally brings in that other person's weaknesses. so therefore, the weaknesses are overlooked. my theory anyway.)
If this is about your new guy, I think it might be a good sign - nothing to fix or change with str8 female empathy, can just enjoy them.
why does nobody get the joke
Relations of Benefit
This is my boyfriend...
ISTj (father) > INTp (boyfriend) > INFj (mother)
and he will soon be MIA for this "trap"...
This is me...
INFp (self) > INTj (mother) > ISTp (brother)
And with Super-Ego influence on a person and years and years of acceptance and application of a person's tertiary function (and maybe even their quaternary function, too, with time and great persistence) leading to the "rewiring of the brain", the ring can potentially "open up" and "reverse" itself by showing the person the "wrong" way in going about things... if you will... but this part about Super-Ego influence is currently only in my humble opinion...
............... ISTp.................ISFj
.................^^..................... ^^
INFp (self) < INTj (mother) < ISTp (brother)
Sooooooo that would mean (in my humble opinion)...
Left ring of Benefit:

Right ring of Benefit:

Left ring of Super-ego:
