Hmm, I basically agree with this but will rephrase it slightly. Basically when a problem is encountered (in any area of life, not just health/nutrition/aesthetics!)
tells you "I have to use effort to overcome this", whereas
tells you "I have to adapt to this to maintain balance". Of course we have to use a combination of these two approaches, and
/
ego types tend to strongly prefer one or the other. Adaptation doesn't necessarily mean doing nothing - it can mean taking medicine if taking medicine is not a huge effort or if it's something you do as a matter of course. But the impulse with
(and really with any introverted function) is towards conservatism, staying within one's comfort zone, easiness rather than difficulty, as you said. This is very close to what I have written about as the
essence of
and
.
The extreme/pathological manifestation of
is to try to apply the first approach to EVERYTHING, that is, trying to mindlessly beat your problems to death without ever adapting to the situation or others' wishes. On the other hand, with
you might want to avoid all your problems and just hope they'll go away if you're pleasant or avoidant enough.
