sorry if this is thread hijacking I can delete, but I also noticed 6 correlations in the unhealthy introverted feeling description:
"Whereupon the now egocentric subject comes to feel the power and importance of the depreciated object. Consciousness begins to feel 'what others think'. Naturally, others are thinking, all sorts of baseness, scheming evil, and contriving all sorts of plots, secret intrigues, etc. To prevent this, the subject must also begin to carry out preventive intrigues, to suspect and sound others, to make subtle combinations. Assailed by rumours, he must make convulsive efforts to convert, if possible, a threatened inferiority into a superiority. Innumerable secret rivalries develop, and in these embittered struggles not only will no base or evil means be disdained, but even virtues will be misused and tampered with in order to play the trump card."
One can observe negative suggestive function in types with strong base function, just as Jung says. But it has to be persons with an overly developed base. Those cases exist, but it can take some time to find them.
