I was thinking yesterday about how Socionics inter-type relations have played out in my family.
Now I'm wondering: have inter-type relations played out in your family like Socionics predicts they will?
Do you think that the family dynamic changes inter-type relations?
For me, it's still shocking to read how well the various inter-type relation descriptions apply to the dynamics between members of my family.
My Mom: ESTp (activity)
My Dad: ISTp (conflict)
My older brother: ENFp (benefit)
My younger brother: INFp (mirror)

). Our relationship is built much like yours. I particularly like going to my mom and blah blah blahing on things like socionics and my plans and ideas. And similarily, the incompatability shows mostly when we disagree on something because we have trouble reconciling our differences in ideas. When we agree, it's actually a very comfortable relationship because we're both seeing things that the other person is not and kind of filling in the blanks to solidify things to a mutual advantage. However, when we disagree it gets a little more annoying. My mom is always worrying over every possible failure in everything, which drives me nuts, but can also be handy. She gets caught up in the details of everything and is usually the queen of "I told you so's". I remember as a kid I used to get annoyed with my mom when we would go shopping and she would be looking for something specific and wouldn't just ask where it was. I wanted to take action and my mom didn't really want to make contact with other people, lol. Also, I often feel like I'm stepping on Fe-eggshells around my mom. Inversely, I think my mom probably gets annoyed by my desire to experiment and take things as they come. I know that she finds my social craziness and exuberance embarrassing and uncomfortable when we go out (

. He just seems to feel justified in hurting everyone, and the hurt he inflicts is in no way proportional to what the said person deserves. It's aggravating.
. I always feel like I am always getting offloaded on and am expected to fix people's problems - I don't mind but I often feel like nobody cares about me because I never talk to anyone about my problems or feelings (I guess that's my own fault, I don't want to bring people down and I then get annoyed at them for 'not caring enough' lol - stupid).




So I can add mine in.
