The Diffeence Between Ni and Ne with Aggressors
I just thought of something that makes Ni different from Ne. With respect to punishment and aggression, Ni 'victim mentality' - "I deserve punishment, because I'm good but not *good enough.* I'll give in."
Ne - "I'm a reasonably good person - probably not a saint, but I don't deserve this *at all.* How dare they!"
Even with intelligence:
Ni: "I'm reasonably intelligent, but I'm probably wrong again. He/she is probably right. I'll give in."
Ne: "Wait a second... I'm reasonably intelligent. Who is this person to try and put me in my place? I'm going to stand up for myself."
Ni will then be submissive to aggression, and so they can deal with aggressors. Ne as a different ego structure and doesn't stand for it, and so there is conflict and/or a fight... You see the difference? Feel free to give any other insights you wish...
