I find that lots of SEI talk about being healthy habits, but the default position reins supreme. No offence guys.
    I wonder if it could partially be variant related too. SP variants being more likely to do something about it, SP last more likely to be in denial or just ignore it all together.

    in a way, you could also potentially say, sp-first might be more likely to be in denial or ignore the illness -- it can be seen as a self-preserving mechanism in a way.

    i just don't really think being healthy is type-related... although people's reasons/causes for their healthiness or unhealthiness may very well be.
    well actually, many (most?) unhealthy behaviors do in fact make the body feel crappy.

    Naw, Sp doesn't work like that either. A lot of Sp first types are stuck in their cave/etc.

    Most of the Si stereotypes only apply for ego expression but neurotic expression within each type is quite variant. Si types can be concerned about health but they're often just hedonists who overeat, have a lot of promiscuous sex and do drugs.

    Introverted irrationality is also often inaccessible to conventional thought, for all we know this individual thinks his behavior is the "healthy" way.

    Anyone heard of chubby SEI?
    Alpha Si is +Si and pretty hedonistic.

    Well, to be honest I need someone to make me see a doctor. It is anxiety producing event itself. Somebody there take care of me, please. I'm even bit short sighted when it comes to this. I don't want to experience more pain.

    With anyone who is depressed you have to give them something to look forward to because depression causes emotional debilitating states where it's hard to see the future so I say "come out to the event of Friday"

    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
