What types do you consider a threat to you?

[strrrng]

ENTj's, but that's it.

Most ESEs are heavily intimidated by me (?) and thus, they start hating on me and stuff. I hate subtypes I think ... they're just flaunting themselves everywhere, trying to look more competent than me for whatever reason, but it just ends up in shit. They try so hard. Ugh. I do feel threatened though, cause it's a blatant attack on me.

I find this particular ESFp a threat... It's probably just... Well... uh... Oh lord.

Haha!!! Yeah, "wrong" is a great word for it!! I'm supposed to go to that concert tonight, but after seeing the photo -- well, I just hope that he's not gonna wear those pants tonight.

I would think that the comparative/kindred type would be potentially the most threatening type, as it would seem to one that the kindred was using their leading function in what would be perceived as misguided ways that would threaten their own vulnerable function. The kindred type can appear as the "darkened shadow form" of the identity type.

I can definitely understand why, in theory, kindreds would come across as "darkened shadows" to each other, (i.e. A's creative is B's PoLR.) In my experience, however, the similar leading function increases sympathy... Thus there's not a whole lot of stepping on each other's toes in these relationships.

Extinguishment relations, on the other hand, can have some psychological pressure (almost intellectual pressure) which can feel threatening... This may be particular to the IEI-IEE relationship--I'm not sure... It's like both sides are trying to figure out what the other knows, so as to judge/classify the other... One of my good friends is INFp, and even that relationship has a subtle element of under-the-surface competition.

Has anyone else found this w/ Extinguishment relations?

There is sympathy, which comes from the kinship of the leading function, but the threat comes from the creative function (respective PoLR of the kindred) being used in similar methods through the shared leading function.

Yeah, I understand your point here... And it's valid.

In my personal experience, these relations have never felt threatening... Honestly, they're almost as good for me as identical--similar feeling of empathy... Usually after a few hours we wear each other out, but those few hours are hilarious, usually.

This might be particular to the IEE-ILE kindred relationship though.

EII (INFj) not too surprising since they're my supervisor, but they function on a level that I both envy and don't understand. I feel like they make me look like a bad person.
