What you are doing (and sorry if I come across harsh) is playing dumb, incompetent and apologetic. Typical behavior for a dependent personality who wants to be taken care of and have someone else do to all the hard labor. This is not uncommon for an IEI, but very uncommon for an EII. The first type (IEI) typically has motivation but requires stimulation in order to get active, the second type (EII) 'lacks' motivation (i.e. clear goals and directives on how to reach those goals), but once provided motivation they do not need for further stimulation to get into action, as they can provide this themselves. I believe that what you have communicated so far is more in line with what an IEI is likely to provoke, i.e. a proverbial kick in the butt.
