    Default What do you like about your Beta friends

    What i love about my beta friends:

    IEI - he calms me down, listens to my problems and jokes about them, makes me want to lie down and rest for a minute instead of searching new adventures and borders to cross.

    EIE - the way she speaks in a really loud and energetic voice, can be up and running and dancing and partying for days. The way she laughs, innocently and sincerely, the pictures she takes with her nikon.

    LSI- the neatness of her actions, that she goes along with whatever crazy plan i have formulated, her sarcastic humour and how she gets annoyed when i'm always late for our meetings.

    Haha !
    I can't think of many reasons that I can apply to all my beta friends.
    But betas in general I absolutely love because they value honesty and authenticity as much as I do (yeah, no shit), none of them bullshit, they are all game for banter and you can connect with pretty much any one of them easily.

    My good LSI friend is super witty and playful, I love that! I also really admire how disciplined he is, he works super hard towards his goals and he is intelligent, opinionated and won't amend his opinions just to get along with people . I also love how we balance each other out really well, I feel like we meet each other on all levels, we can interact however we want - we can have intellectual conversations, help each other with problems or just have crazy fun.

    I love my EIE friends energy and most of them are wicked charismatic and caring. My EIE best friend and I have so much fun together, having ridiculous conversations - taking the piss out of each other and laughing over nothing. She's one of the only people I tell most things.

    One of my IEI friends is really the sweetest and most empathic chick I have ever met, she's really individual and interesting. I have another IEI best friend, who I think is pretty incredible, he's really charismatic but pretty unstable. I am really at ease with IEIs, I love the connection and understanding.

    Mmm. My only SLE friend is Ezra haha . And what I like about Ezra, other than that he is my dual and all the jamminess that goes with that, is that he is really considerate, caring and dependable when it comes to his people. He is also super honest, self-aware, interested in self-development and a wicked interesting conversationalist. He's also not an insensitive ho, which beasts my SLE stereotype ^-^. He's the only SLE I have met that I actually like.

    SLE -- when we're together we rarely stop laughing...We have the same senses of humor. Nothing is off-limits in conversation, (and no matter what comes up, we usually end up laughing about it.) I like how they look at life--usually as a game to play, (and win.) They inspire me and help me.

    IEI -- we understand each other really well. We have comparable desires and problems so there's a lot of empathy between us. Again, similar senses of humor--nothing's off-limits. I love hanging out with them. This relationship is similar to friendships I had when I was growing up--we wanted the same things out of life.

    LSI -- complete, thorough understanding. Mutual support and help. A great feeling of camaraderie... Same senses of humor and tragedy. We can do anything together. I love the forcefulness of this type.

    SLE: for sle males my age it's always very deep epic and romantic-like. For female sles it's always a very great deep friendship

    IEI: great understanding, as well as romantic love too, help me out when I least expect it but also when I need it the most

    LSI: can't say don't think i ever met one

    EIE: great at uplifting each other, never really romantic, good at spiritually boosting each other though. Mirrors are the worst out of the four but it's still very good.

    EIE: great, more socially involved/comfortable than me, but still like me because they're not freaked out by teh Ni, extremely likable people. Often very funny as well.

    LSI: Fun to hang around. Pleasantly/comically sour about things. Plus they have that amazing Se let's get stuff done power, which just makes me happy to be around. Also, relatively easier to start friendships/relationships with. Less of the SLE too high on the social food chain business.

    SLE: basically amazing because they're the same as me but the opposite. Always have a diametrically opposed position, and yet one that is compatible so that both parties are enriched in knowledge. What it says on wikisocion is pretty accurate: they say what they wish, we say what we wish, we console each other. Sort of. Also the best type to have a conversation with, as they're not shy about dominating the conversation, but they're also not boring. In most conversations, the options are: run/direct/shape the conversation or be bored. Not so with the SLEs. That makes life better. Also, with most other types, I feel like I have to direct more energy outward than I would in my natural state/ideally. Even with other Ni-egos, at some point, I have to direct my energy outward. I don't feel like that around SLEs. I feel like they'll accept me being energy flatlined and just sort of... following. And I like that. Because it lets me be attached the world and yet detached... I don't know, it's hard to describe. Duality is cool because it seems like duals tend to like you for who you are in your most natural state, and actually like you better in that state than when you're putting on the face you have to put on for the world, which then encourages you to be more like the real you. Or something. That sounds so over-idealized that I'm sure it's not true, but that's sorta what I think it's like...?

    IEI: I don't really know that I'm close friends with any IEIs. But in general, they're nice because they have the "right" perspective on everything. They understand what I think is essential about the world. The only thing is, I can already tell that hanging out with another IEI for too long would be an energy drain, because both of us would be doing the IEI thing.
    Not a rule, just a trend.

    IEI. Probably Fe subtype. Pretty sure I'm E4, sexual instinctual type, fairly confident that I'm a 3 wing now, so: IEI-Fe E4w3 sx/so. Considering 3w4 now, but pretty sure that 4 fits the best.

    Yes 'a ma'am that's pretty music...

    I am grateful for the mystery of the soul, because without it, there could be no contemplation, except of the mysteries of divinity, which are far more dangerous to get wrong.

    Yeah, the same but opposite, like the Enneagram four and eight - we are SLEs turned inside out. Awesome , except I don't find IEIs are an energy drain. It's really comfortable, if anything at times it is so relaxed it is empty. Unless the IEI is offloading problems onto you alot, which is draining, but that's a drain with everyone, regardless of type.
    IEI, sp/sx 4w3.
