    You're flagrantly SEI, just accept it.
    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 have pretty well settled on Beta NF, I'm just too fucking bipolar to stick with one

    Just watch: I'm about to start a new job, and I'll probably be dead sure that I'm 3w4 sx/so EIE within 2 weeks. I start school soon after that, so I will probably stick with that typing for about 2 months, then become thoroughly disenchanted with higher education and revert back to 4w3 sx/so IEI. I'll probably stick with that until the end of the winter. I tend to have an upswing in energy around March/April, so I'll probably swing back to EIE 3>4 then...rinse, recycle, repeat.

    You aren't even close to the untypable calibre of Implied or Isha. It's like comparing a ghost to a cloud on a scale of insubstance.

    I don't understand what's so difficult about settling on a type, but if the only way you can maintain a sense of self is to be without a type then go for it.

    That said, I think Ishy is very typable.

    It's just that, in all her Niney glory, she's enough of a blank canvas for people to project things on. I'm probably guilty too

    In Gilly's case, he's an EIE. Enough said. [Later thought: while I'm on an opinion-dispensing spree, actually, I don't think "enough said". It's just in my dealings with another EIE, she refused to be typed, basically. I see a similar pattern with Gilly. I think the other EIEs on the boards sidestep this issue by being less visible. "You think you know me?"]

    As for implied, I think it's an issue with this community attempting to deal with the socionics types as personality types. In other words, when a weird mix (like implied, ann, or myself) pops up, there's a commotion.

    My 2 pi.

    Implied: Typical good-natured humanitarian woman that will end up marrying a professor/intellectual type of man. She's like the females in my family, and she feels like a sister to me.

    Gilly: Spoiled mama's boy that has good social skills with his peers. Should get a job in a group home or something helping the loser outcasts feel better about theyself. Feels like a brother or kindred spirit.

    Isha: One of those idealistic fat lesbian dykes that likes to tell other people what to do in academia setting. Thinks her problem is her self-esteem but really her problem is lack of empathy for others. (Sorry but I had to say it) Self-satisfied and has the potential to go very far in whatever career she chooses.

    Okay, fine just to be fair, I'll do myself:

    Sam: a good-natured slacker that understands people well but hates showing any effort. Rants and whines but is frequently his own worst enemy. Can manipulate people into taking care of him with gay man cuteness. Would benefit from a physical presence instead of just having a keen psychological insight, but that's a superpower hard to give up. I just really, really want to be understood- just like everybody else.

    I really don't have great social skills in a lot of settings And ugh, there's that spoiled shit again...how many times do I have to tell people that I'm poor? And no, helping people feel better about themselves for a JOB would feel incredibly contrived to me; I can only do that when I genuinely care about someone and/or truly empathize with their plight.

    So you're a 4, basically.

    Well then, I disagree. I don't see how, in this context, posting more prominently in threads that someone whom you identify with (i.e. 'maria is gamma lol') is involved in, is indicative of a 6 fixation; such a thing would have to be intellectually-based somehow, with an emphasis on the respective person's knowledge and/or authority, not the social status they offered through alliance. A 3 would be much more inclined to mold themselves around images portrayed in others to augment their own self-image, and thus would exhibit the sort of clique'ish exclusivity apparent in this, and other, situations.


    You do not want to debate me on this topic, lol.

    Ok, I see what you're saying. I was looking at it more from the perspective of Allie seeing her as a "reliable Gamma," someone who could offer potential reinforcement, but in the whole context I suppose it makes most sense as a combination of 2 compliance and 3 attachment, considering the obvious image triad overtone.

    Right, this is the crux of it.

    I dunno though, I think the compliance is more obvious in that she was "sucked into" the idea of Gamma, that she saw it as a valid hierarchical structure within which she could obtain some kind of position, rather than a more 3w4 approach - mostly assertive combined with withdrawn and frustration - which would be to make her own "branch," start her own hierarchy, and build it based on what she saw as of utmost importance to her image, rather than molding it to fit an existing "rewards system."

    No. That would be an easy way out for you. He's saying that you try to explain things away by the fact that you have low self-esteem, to avoid, whether wittingly or not, facing the more difficult reality, that it is due to your lack of empathy. Such a thing is better veiled in some temporary self-loathing, no? Believe me, I know all about that sort of thing A person with both would basically be an avoidant hermit who wasn't even interested enough to figure it out; a person with solely low self-esteem wouldn't be egocentric enough to concern themselves with entertaining the matter, but would reticently accept input from others, due to their ability for empathy. Now it should be clear that you lack empathy.

    Also, I can be an fat lesbian dyke for extremely loose definitions of fat lesbian dyke, especially if they don't need to be lesbians or dykes.
    That is true. Although, I would suspect that the fat, lesbian dykes are at least partially the perpetrators of these very 'loose definitions.' For, if there isn't something explicit and integral that defines a fat, lesbian dyke, then they can preserve their semblances of self-esteem, letting others go back and forth on what determines who they are, which inadvertently enhances their distorted self-esteem, and ultimately precludes them from finding a snug fit!

    Therefore, it should be clear that you are in fact a fat, lesbian dyke

    Oh, I have no clue what you did or didn't attempt to rationalize through this or that psychological lens. I just felt like promoting some logical propositional crap to play off of the claim. Seriously, when am I not tongue-in-cheek?

    In any case, if that is what he is saying it seems only further evidence, to me, that BnD only sees what is inside his head.
    That could be true. If an INFp gets something in their head, they will rationalize every facet of their reality around it.

    lol what?
    I think you know.
