UGH. please become a traditional type who participates and plans holidays like LSE do. thank you It makes sense that you being an introvert and hermitic like tendencies of SLI would make you not seem and act like LSE who in fact merrily participate in large social gatherings
"He is not much interested in people, but friendship is very important for him, moreover, he does not shy from participating in large social gatherings. Especially if the group gathers according to some tradition or holiday, such as birthday, anniversary, international women's day or a recurrent fishing trip. "

When will you marry my IEE friend?

I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

Trends and expectations you're expected to but would rather not have to meet?
I like the holidays for their purpose of reuniting and bringing people together (and for the days off, of course), but a part of me always feels empty and disappointed by the shallow interactions that are too often found in these holiday related festivities, but too seldom encouraging of the opportunity to do something constructive or bond with people on a deeper level.
At the same time she'll marry me. Which is quite likely to be never, I think.

I broke up with my bf today. He has too much drama and is not ready for a relationship. I'm back to dating again for the one.

My ESE best friend said something very sweet today as we walked together on a little hike. She said that one of the reasons she really likes having me as a friend is that she can feel so much herself around me. She said she's a people-pleaser and picks up on and matches her energy to those she's around. Because I'm calm and steady, she feels she can relax and be whatever she really is inside. (This relates back to my previous posts about my lack of overt emotiveness.)

I wonder what life is like without mood swings you have no control over because your moods are created and shaped by external influences. And with the ability to create your own emotional stability. And with being content with your life and enjoy stability without feeling antsy and not constantly wondering about what you could do next, where you could live next, where you could travel to next, what other projects you could start and what other careers you should try out. #feelingrestless

People can be racist and sexist all they want to be but then you can't infringe on other people's rights to treat them like they're are backwoods ignorant for doing it and calling them out on it. It works both ways. Are you saying it is important for you personally to be a racist and you are afraid to admit it because you are pc? I wasn't quite sure if you were alluding to that or talking generally.
I would argue that if someone has opinions that are unpopular and are afraid to share then their opinions might not be that strong or important to begin with I personally prefer to know the type of person I am dealing with than have their opinions hidden on issues they consider important. My friends make ignorant remarks all the time but I notice they have changed over time and broadened their perspectives.
I feel free to dislike many people but it is usually a waste of energy to actively dislike someone so I let the feeling of dislike pass and then focus my energy on important things.
This guy has the right frame of mind and perspective. He accepted their right to stomp on a flag even though it bothered him. I respect him even though to me a flag is just a piece of fabric. It may be a symbol but it is not supposed to be more important than the freedom it supposed to stand for.

Except in the end it leaves them so unhappy and unfulfilled. They need to be saved from themselves.
Oops, editing to add, I'm not advising to save them... because that depends on their will, which is the real determination, and if they don't will to be different, they aren't changing...

I know no other way than modern living but living in the distant past seems like it would have been more stressful for me personally.
Thanks for clarifying. I didn't want to debate politics but I could not tell in your other post if you were for or against what you were talking about.

I've been loosing lately because I've been playing against the computer and it learns my strategies and uses them against me. Yesterday I moved the pawn infront of the King clearing the way for the queen, after the opponent moved the pawn in front of the King. Then, I moved the queen to the far left. i took the opponent's first pawn and the second pawn that was moved from in front of their queen with my queen. this second pawn took my first pawn. ☺️
I'm the black pieces
it was a good strategy to move the queen to the left and ignor it being taken

I will go to Mexico City and hang out, go to museums, go out, drink lots of margaritas, speak bad Spanish, dance bad salsa with a hot stranger in a public square, eat lots of seafood, buy adorable dresses and shoes, go to the Frida Kahlo museum, bask in the sun, and think to myself "fuck all the drama." Because I can and it's what I do best.

I am going to take yoga classes again. My SEI cousin is teaching and I do love it. I feel as though I should also take weight training too. What needs to get done is my laptop needs to get repaired.
It's only Tuesday. Ah. What will I do and when? Anyone want to organize my activities?

@yen yes LSE is fast and quick because they factor information in to reach a conclusion for action, the right action while LSI have to think of all the information all the steps and sometimes reiterated that then act. Their Se wants details for the purpose of inspection. Therefore the "Inspector" archetype. Don't let this bother your need to act Mr. Director

Sounds pretty great, Kim. I'm happy for you, and hope things work out.
From the way you describe him, he might be an ILI. They like food, have strong Ni, and can be Peacemakers. If he is ILI, you might be in a Mirage relationship, just as I am. And despite the bad rep that Mirage has, I think it can be pretty sweet.
I will admit, though, there have been times when I was ready to call it quits over disparate goals and needs. (She probably was, too.) When I felt like that, I just suspended judgement for a while, and things surprisingly got better.
I wish you both the best of luck.

@Penny
From his picture and what you have told me so far, ILI is not a bad typing for him.
“My typology is . . . not in any sense to stick labels on people at first sight. It is not a physiognomy and not an anthropological system, but a critical psychology dealing with the organization and delimitation of psychic processes that can be shown to be typical.” —C.G. Jung
@Penny.
One other thing. I have spent most of my life around both SLI's (father, ex-wife, son) and ILI's (best friend since Jr High, financial advisor, coworkers, etc) and so I flatter myself that I know them both pretty well. I also know four IEE's (three females, one male), for reference.
If your guy is ILI, he is a Victim, and is going to look at you as a worthy queen, or his lady, whom he will serve. (Take a look at End's recent posts for more on this.)
This is very different from the way an SLI caretaker views their IEE duals. According to the SLI's I have known, their duals are fun to be around, but IEE's spend money recklessly and are completely flakey, which they find very hard to put up with.
Connection is hard, but it is worth working for.
@End 's preferences are not representative of a typical ILI though. He has a bit of fetish going on but I still think he is ILI.

@Aylen, I agree with your comments about @End. I'm pretty sure he is ILI, and he seems to be surprisingly candid on here, more than a typical ILI would reveal. Probably, irl, he'd look perfectly normal. Conservative-appearing, even. Very button-down and logical, get the job done right with a minimum of fuss and errors.
However, one thing he seems to share with all the ILI's I know irl, is his very strong attraction to extroverted party girls. He's probably also super-tolerant of crazy female behavior, and is probably really good at managing his finances.
This is true. I was in that phase of life when I was in a relationship with an ILI and we had lots of crazy/risky adventures in the beginning. The problem though was his jealousy when I used Fe around other men so he slowly locked me away. I was fine with it for a long time. I was kind of trained for an ILI relationship by observing, rebelling and finally adjusting (as much as I could) to my stepdad so I toned down Fe around him and others. It lasted longer than any relationship but in the end was pretty stagnant since we were both introverts and there is only so much reading philosophy to each other, in bed, over tea, that one can do. After all the partying we had one amazing introverted philosophical year, where were were enamored with each other, while shutting the outside world out (he had money to do this). Then we moved and both started looking for excitement elsewhere. I think it might be easier for an IEE to inspire them to get out of their heads and go out into the world to experience new things. He could not help me when I got apathetic and I think it made him more apathetic towards people. I would get over it rather quickly but he would stay stuck in apathy.

Sis are you talking about End? I think he is a bit different than a lot of ILI but I am not sure if he is that similar to LII. He is unique but something about his tone, in my head, makes me hear him in the voices of ILI I know. Neither were into fantasy like End but there is a familiar tone.
