Ryu, I know you like your ego to be stroked, but really.......
Ok, fine.
Lock away the women and children. It's time.
***My Dual***
- Starts with L, ends with E
- Is awesome beyond words
- Knows he is awesome beyond words, in precise detail of how and why
- But isn't sure if other people know exactly how awesome he is, which secretly worries him
- Never gets tired of hearing me say how awesome he is
- Needs frequent reminders that I still think he's awesome (or he starts to panic)
- Outwardly oozes
cool confidence and level-headed practicality
- Is generally quiet, thoughtful, and extreeeemely serious
(somehow this drives me WILD instead of BORED)
(Definitely depends on who I'm with, more mellow with certain people than with others. Definitely more crazy at certain times than others. Sometimes I'm downright mellow)
- Secretly longs to stop being so deadly serious sometimes and let it all hang out
- Realises he can do this with me OMG
- Acknowledges the statistical improbability of having found me and is secretly grateful
- But probably won't say it because only women and ******s express their feelings
- Realises he is a ******
(If what your getting as is, that you want some one who contradicts themselves I.E. doesn't express their feelings but does. then yes I can relate to this.)
- Blinks, shrugs
(cringing in horror is too much effort, and also 99.8% unproductive)
(as well as too gay)
- Is terrified of losing me
(but mainly because he'd have to endure all that tedious dating crap again) (FUCK DATING! and courtship and all that fucking... SHIT!)
- Is therefore willing to tolerate my imperfections, which he can precisely list
(Depends on what they are.)
- Has few words but when he does speak he always has a 'point'
- Is always direct, doesn't beat around the bush
- Can be sharp and crude
(which my
patience helps me to endure, unless it's funny)
- Has an opinion about everything
- Can be stubborn and cocky as all hell when he thinks he knows better
(which I find strangely CHARMING instead of IRRITATING)
- But is easily reduced to uncertainty or guilt by my kryptonic
superpowers
(which he finds strangely COMPELLING instead of SHAMELESSLY MANIPULATIVE)
(which I find sweetly amusing and what the hell, might as well use it if it works)
- Has an unbelievably hypnotic, calming effect on me by his mere presence
- Is inspired by my brilliant
ideas
(as long as they have some practical use)
(I don't know if this is Ne, but I'm most certainly the type of person who when some one has a brilliant idea to do activity x, I jump up and say "Fuck yes!")
- Is soothed by my laid-back "everything is ok, please calm the fuck down" vibes (Useful specifically when I get worked up and don't understand specifically why)
- Has a somewhat black, sadistic sense of humour, but is never deliberately nasty (Dead babies, anyone?)
- Knows how to kick my lazy ass into gear when I'm procrastinating
- Sincerely congratulates me on my successes
- But secretly keeps a mental scorecard of who is more successful
- Tries to show initiative in romantic situations, but is always unsure if he's doing the right thing
- Tends to be wooden and formal when performing dating rituals (Really cause their are awkward as shit and I don't know what to do. Essentially, I force myself to be formal with people I like because I know that mauling them whenever I want isn't really appropriate yet.)
- Would be almost entirely clueless without having read a manual or FAQ beforehand
(which I find EXTREMELY ENDEARING and somewhat funny)
(and gently help to steer him in all the right directions)
(which I can see he greatly - but silently - appreciates)
- Nervously observes my external reactions at all times for clues to success of his initiatives:
IF reaction=expected result of his input
THEN
{
HUGE inward sigh of relief;
congratulate self on successful action, which was of course expected anyway;
continue to step B as planned;
}
ELSE
{
explosive random(panic;anger;irritation;fear;anxiety);
immediate review of possible causes for failure;
mental note of defective parts of plan for future reference;
initiate secondary procedures;
}
- Isn't scared to kill a roach
- Rolls his eyes (slightly) at my illogical squeamishness
- Will adhere to my instructions to use humane methods when despatching the roach (I'd laugh about it though)
(eg. fast, fun flamethrower instead of slow, painful bug spray)
- Will immediately think of ways to prevent future roach problem (even if 3am)
(Maybe? Depends on my mood?)
- Is dead serious about the things he is passionate about
- Expects everyone to take these things just as seriously
- Is right about everything
-related and he knows it, arguing with him is pointless
- Does not suffer fools lightly (I'm actually getting better at this recently, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.)
- Traitors will be marked and remembered till the day he dies (I rarely if ever hold a grudge, but when I do... Let's just say it's a good thing I have stan to tell me when to hold back.)
- Their pleading is not likely to inspire any sympathy, they've had their chance (I has funny stories about this.)
- Will (hopefully) not drag me to godawful noisy clubs and bars till all hours of the morning (Nope, I dunno if this one is type related or not, but I don't like clubs. I've got negative associations. As for bars, why bother? In this situation I'd clearly be in a relationship, why not drink at home?)
- Will think of more "productive" and useful activities to keep us entertained
- Prefers it when it's just the two of us instead of a group
(Depends, I have to be kept interested)
(I realise some of these points may not be strictly type-related but maybe at least somewhat common for ESTjs?)
Ok, I guess that's all I can think of for now.
Go ahead, guys, climb into me.
