    Default Type me

    Alas, after being sure for so long that I was EIE, I have once again come to doubt my type.

    I am open to suggestions.
    But, for a certainty, back then,
    We loved so many, yet hated so much,
    We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

    Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
    Whilst our laughter echoed,
    Under cerulean skies...

    I'm leaning towards Ni/Se.

    Gilly, which forum members do you feel most encouraged to be "yourself" when you're dealing with? Which ones do you feel you need to edit or censor yourself around?

    (Others should also feel free to describe how they feel the above questions describe their relationship with Gilly.)

    Of all of the forum members I know, I feel most natural with Khamelion.

    And you feel the most comfortable around SLIs.

    The combination would suggest Te/Fi valuing.

    But since he only said Khamelion, that would suggest Gamma... or at least Ni/Se and/or Te/Fi valuing.

    Gilly, who do you experience the least frustration, friction, and/or miscommunication when talking to?

    Okay Gilly, let's say you have the magical ability to pick a type, any type you wish, right now and then be a picture perfect version of that type, fully awakened ego and all. Which type would you pick?

    I've tried that before with enneagram, socionics and mbti. lol, I'm not trying to nitpick here, but I feel that most of the techniques which can be implemented to "figure things out" will only add to the entanglement of things. Gilly just needs to go sit on a fucking mountain naked and have a revelation.

    My guess is that it'll come to him when he truly stops looking for it.

    Yeah. Once he steps back and lets himself breathe, a lot will probably be elucidated.

    In this particular case, it's not supposed to necessarily provide THE answer, but maybe highlight areas of contradiction. Overall it's not a bad strategy though. And it's sort of a fun game. I think I'll post a topic, lol.

    I believe you until proven otherwise. =D

    I just know your forum self. So I kinda have to only go by what I see.

    And well, 'narcissistic' is overdiagnosed. It seems that anybody that doesn't bend over to our every whims is labelled a 'narcissist.' I doubt they even understand the original story. I think instead of narcissism the forum conflicts you have with most people is your Fi polr.

    The funny part is, I am very much a narcissist in the sense of the original story; moreso, in fact, than in any modern interpretation of the term

I find myself unable to commit to things for fear of feeling stuck, of not having freedom, and yet, paradoxicaly, without the focus that comes from choosing a set path, I find myself unable to motivate myself to do anything significant. I think about the future almost compulsively, and I always imagine the wort case scenario.

    For example, I am currently considering pursuing a career as a surgeon, but I can't imagine the personal suffocation or feelings of failure if I started down that path and found that I wasn't truly interested in surgery, and had wasted a portion of my life, never to be had again, along with money and effort, on something that ultimately became nothing, leaving me in an even worse position than before I started.
    Maybe the approach I'm taking here is a bit too philosophical though... assuming there is such a thing...

    I'm with Diana. You're still ENTp, and always have been ENTp. BG is still your dual.

    I'm a bit fond of you, and kinda wish you were in my quadra since we have similar life experiences and interests -- but you are who you are.

    Everybody feels that way... I would say just take baby steps. I know you have the urge for some long detailed drawn out philosophical process, but there really isn't any. Learn as you go and be gentle on yourself. Also, Joy is right, you need to just focus on helping others a bit more and it will lessen the problems that you think you have.

    I think you're maybe taking 'life path' too seriously as it is. I have a more or less 'simple plan' myself. Life is too complex on its own, no need to make it any worse in our own heads.

    I may be attached to my ego, but I'm not really that self-centered; I actually go out of my way to help other people on a regular basis, in a variety of ways.

    I know that I spend too much time thinking about the future, but honestly I find it hard to garner the motivation to see something through if I'm not invested in an end result.

    ENTp. Seriously. We can have similarities without having the same functional preferences. Crazy knows no type.

    And you don't have to be a zany loser with no people skills who performs experiments in his basement; or some tool-box who needs a lovey-dovey ISFp to bathe you. It's all about the functions, baby.

    Most of the arguments for ENFj stem from general behavioral tendencies, but I tend to think that said things are situational at best.

    It is what it is, homie.
