Myst

Oh hey, I realized what kind of resources you were offering Psychology related ones, right?
Well, Socionics kinda gives you this impression that finding your dual or quadra buddies, will solve a lot of your problems, lol.
I read a lot on EIE/LSI duality and it clicked for me. It seemed as it was exactly what I needed for my love and work life. The whole dynamics and all. LSI pushes things forward where EIE really really needs it, etc. etc.
I thought: wow, great, must. find. LSI. NOW.

He probably won't. Oh well, he was a fun bit of my life, now I will have to do without him. Shit happens, as he liked to say.

It's interesting. I kind of stopped getting into psychology this year and restarted my interest in socionics a couple of months ago :/

Yeah, now I think that I overreacted. I made fun of him too a lot. But now, he wouldn't accept my friend request

Oh, what frameworks are u talking about?

Cool pic, thanks. Here's the link to a video of Shiba Inu puppies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtTCUrnvxzk

Hmm, I need to investigate the EIE x LSE relations.

Lol, I think my buddy, who might be LSI, loves marathons. It sucks that I banned him on FB cuz he started calling me a faggot in front of everyone, lol. So much drama in the streets...

Hey you too, no problemo. I think, Adam advised me to talk to you, to know better what my dual looks like, lol. If you can show me even cuter pics then do it, lol. I actually been watching those crazy Shibu Inu videos on YouTube, that is a cuteness overload, lol...
Anyway, so I spend a lot of my time with my dad, cuz we work together, do things together. It's just how it is right now. I had a lot of illusions, when we started working together. I actually typed him as LSE ever since I started reading on Socionics and I kinda still think he is LSE. I hate his humor, I hate the way he talks, I don't know, it's hard to explain. He hates Beta things, I hate delta's. At least that's how it seems. So Socionics gave me this hope, that if I try enough and find people that would be easier to work with, I'd be much more happy. I worked with one girl, who's probably a EIE and actually I was super happy while she was around. And I didn't even use Socionics at that time, lol. It was fun and easy. And I think she liked me back. And then, there are some people that are sort of nice, at least they are trying, but it's hard, and I just try to skip every single moment being with them I can. Well, and I need friends to hang out with, to make music together. Goddamn, my current life sucks, lol.
Anyway. I love all those portable devices. I just bought a new phone, cuz my old iPhone just broke down, lol. The thing I'm really into is PC tech. CPUs, RAM, SSDs, monitors... Oh, what sports do u do? What tech do u use for it?

Your Profile picture made my heart melt... I'm some sort of EIE, having lots of troubles with real life. Basically looking for ways to fix my life. First time I read on socionics was back in 2004, my peak of raving at this forum was in 2009-2010. Recently, I rediscovered socionics and it's been good to me, lol. I was looking for some sort of help and socionics showed me a way. Sort of. Still a lot to do but I might be well off soon. I see you're into tech. That's cool! I spend all my money on food, travels and tech! What type of tech are you into?

Woops! In the message I said:

"Most LSIs I've known have said they don't feel as open and loose and so forth around others, but -- consistent with Enneagram theory -- when a social setting is being guided by EIE it is said that LSI feels more capable of being themselves, of not being overly formal or distant or terse. "

What I meant to say was "Consistent with Socionics theory" hahah. Excuse the typos likely littered throughout, and pardon if I TL;DR'd the fuck out of You in that PM, just wanted to be thorough

"What's been life-changing about it for you?" - My best friend (who just joined the forum as well) is also an Se-LSI. He and I have seen each other through countless ups and downs. We've been close as Brothers for 5 years now. Socionics has really helped us put context and framing to our friendship, as well as pinpoint how it is we help each other grow. Duality intertype theory has been pretty fucking life changing for us both, and I'd die with him in the trenches any fucking day. Aside from that, my best mate throughout high school was an LSI as well. We grew together, lived together, and were about as open with each other as I've seen an LSI be. Simply put, LSI has been absolutely integral in my psychological development, and, more essential yet, my growth as a Man. Connecting with LSIs has changed lives mutually for me, so I was pretty fucking excited to find these forums. Socionics as a field gets far more granular in just about every capacity than MBTI, and intertype theory mapped out so much for my Brother and I. Needless to say, I'm a believer lol. It's difficult to get more specific than that in the scope of a basic text reply. I'd love to share further.

"Feel free to ask anything too from me" - Tell me abit about Yourself. Where You from? How did You get into Typology/Socionics? How do you differentiate Yourself from an SLE? What do You love about being LSI, and what do You appreciate most in other types? If You know any other LSIs, I'd love to connect. PM me and we can talk more properly.

"You got me curious actually" - What can I say? I tend to.

"How do you experience duality with LSI-Se?" - Frankly, the most honest answer - there is no adequate translation of lived experience. It's more than the subjective, even, it's a subtle interplay that is difficult to reduce to words.

"And another question... how do you take care of the Ne PoLR?" - As You'd expect, he has a more computational approach to reasoning than I (in all things, really). That which cannot be apprehended compositionally or contextualized chronologically -- namely: hypothesis, and most forms of speculation lacking grounding in instance (Ne shit, basically) -- causes him (as You can imagine) a great deal of frustration. Typically, his intellect parses the object of his inquiry, stripping it to it's essential components, providing clear instance of its usage as well as the required understanding or approach in overcoming or achieving the thing in question. Basically, he's always winning. All day Winning.jpg. That's all unbearably abstract (more than he allows himself, to be sure), but it encapsulates his general methodology nonetheless. For my part (as You'd expect of an EIE), my proficiency is far more interpersonal in nature, permutational in framing, and synthesizing of disparate context. Where he's likely to pinpoint his intended goals, claim them as foregone conclusions, and set out to most effectively capture them, I broaden the scope of his considerations, occasionally playing devil's advocate to reinforce his convictions and methods. He keeps me grounded, direct, and encourages actualization, whereas I reciprocate emotional support, social advice, and encourage reflection and consideration (in a variety of ways). Ni is not as creatively discursive as Ne, but digression frustrates him, and alternatives to what he sees as the most effective course of action aren't useful to him anyways; the tighter abstract spiderwebs of Ni provide multiple paths of consideration, which is enough for him. He's a crass motherfucker, and, as an EIE, Ne is my Demonstrative Function, so You know we bring dem bantz

Ni-EIE here, new to the site. My best mate is an LSI and we're close as Brothers. I'm unabashedly roundin up every LSI I can hahah. Dual intertype shit has been pretty life-changing for us both, and diving deeper into Socionics has been rewarding. Just reaching out to every LSI I can (Se subtype especially). Cheers!
