I've had more problems with activity (SEE) than with dual (ESI).
The main problem is that they are impulsive, and lack critical thinking. If it's posted on the internet, on social media, it must be true. And we need to get emotional about it, because if someone posted it, why would it be a lie?
I see SEEs do this much more often than ESIs, though I have known one ESI (strong
subtype) who does this too.
The examples of what I mean:
SEE-
girl who I don't know very well posts a meme of a man with a cyborg eye or something and it reads "NESTLE's CEO: water is not a human right." And she believed it. I looked on Wikipedia and the current CEO of NESTLE is some younger guy, not the same one as pictured in the meme. She didn't even factcheck or question where this information came from, she just believed it. Now, NESTLE's CEO may actually have said that. But since she doesn't fact check, that's not the point. He may also have it within a given context, which would give the phrase a different meaning than if the phrase is repeated in a vacuum. I though this was stupid. But since I don't know her well, I don't care much.
SEE-
girl from college got really upset on the night of Trump's victory, and made a facebook post about how Trump's father was a KKK member (where is she getting this from?) and all sorts of fake info. I then make a post on facebook about how despite not being happy about Trump winning, I wish America the best etc. She responds to my posts really angrily and while she doesn't attack me personally, we get into heated debate (more heated on her part than mine tbh). The she removes me from facebook and appearantly blocks me (for what?). I'm glad she came out to me as nuts (though this isn't the first time she has such reactions), since it saves me future trouble.
ESI-
who I don't know well shares a daily mail article about a black man who got arrested for rape because someone dreamt he commited the crime. I pointed out to her, by citing wikipedia, that the daily mail is not a reliable news source, but she didn't understand what I meant. She thought I meant something along the lines of "don't believe everything you read" when that's not what I meant at all: I meant fact check what you read. She wasn't mean or accusing me of having bad intentions though, but she didn't get it.
My first gf was SEE-
and we are still in touch over facebook. This morning, she shared a post with images of this guy who I don't know (which also included images of his license plate) and the post said he was a pedo or some shit...no proof, no evidence, we should just believe. Of course this is disturbing, and the most disturbing one of all the cases I brought up here, since if the guy is innocent, his life is ruined. And if he's guilty, he needs to be convicted through due process. This really dissapointed me, I thought she was smarter than to believe random accusations she finds on social media. I said nothing, because my experience with the ESI above leads me to think she wouldn't understand the concept of critical thinking and the need to have proof before accusing someone.
Note that I don't know any of these women well, even my first gf I am not currently close to and don't know her well, but it hurt me that she would eschew facts and reason. Well, I guess facebook turns your brain to mush is the lesson to draw here. I wish people would learn that social media is not very reliable, in fact there is a huge amount of disinformation on social media. Sad. Barring the second case with the SEE getting upset over Trump, I didn't get into a fight or have a falling out with them either. So maybe this is not related to relationships directly, but it dissapointed me that so many compatible types have such a lack of critical thinking and no concern for facts.
