Well, possibly because it was a slight overstatement. But, you know, when you completely shut in mentally and get locked completely into the present state for a day or so (and see it stretching away into the future)... then completely swing around and go back into flexy mode.
There's also that element of reactivity that I understand differentiates EP from cyclothymia. Right now there's a lot of pressure at school, so I'm hitting lows more easily, but if I'm preparing for a forum meet or a birthday or something, the mood white noise shifts up a gear, and I'm more likely to brush against "meh" moods than "
" moods.
And, ifmd, yeah, I'm much more sensitive to my deficiency in Te, I'd agree. Does the super-id in IEEs manifest itself as being unable to "tune out" from the world around you? Relevant to the comment about 7s falling into the trap of just getting strung along by an endless series of tempting invitations from outside.
LATER THOUGHT
In terms of the way Ne and Ni are plugged into time...
Ne: "Too many transitions between B and C, better to just nudge towards C and have backup plans."
Ni: "Too many possible outcomes after B, better to just stick to the plan and hope I wind up at C."
Diagramatically, if you have two dots linked by a line, would Ne view the line as being the center of if-based uncertainty, while Ni views the end dot as being uncertain instead?
