    How about "helpless" instead of "dependent"? I find things like forms and applications and oh god whatever else endlessly disorienting.

    Dependent, naive in wordly affairs, expects work-related [I'm not working just yet] and emotional support from a woman. Involuntarily emphasizes his lack of attention, lost abilities, inadequacy for real life struggles [since these are apparently involuntary... I can't comment ]. In women respects experience [realism also works] and responsiveness to his problems.

    Bolded bits definitely apply for me.

    Guess I'm starting to question my type. Forms don't phase me. I can't really speak on emotional support because my only experience is being the one dispensing it (so much so that in all of my relationships it's just felt weird when the roles have been reversed), lack of attention can be a problem long term as I find it damned hard to keep interest levels up unless something randomly provokes a resurgence. I tend to help people with "business-y" related stuff, like loan applications, tenders, contracts, business plans.

    Hrmm.

    could you possibly be ENTp? My ex was good at the list of things you mentioned and frequently dispensed advice on those things. Or maybe you're just a super-ENFp with abilities most ENFps lack. I mean, there are ENFp lawyers and bankers and engineers, so it shouldn't surprise me. But I am surprised every time I meet an ENFp with one of those jobs. Amazing they can do that all day w/o their head exploding (or maybe it's just that I'm particularly bad at those subjects). But we're all really different despite sharing a type.
    Hi! I'm an ENFP. :-)

    Yeah... I'm really starting to think so. I think maybe in the past I over compensated which made me appear [at least to me,] NeFi.

    Interesting!

    Ssmall, you're amazing. I might go read it again later and look for things to improve, but for now I just wanted to say that.
    Oh, to find you in dreams - mixing prior, analog, and never-beens... facts slip and turn and change with little lucidity. except the strong, permeating reality of emotion.

    I just don't understand how you could be IEE and write something like that. Where is the Fi?

    I know another delta NF on the forum who seems to share similar thoughts . . .
    Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
    If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.

    ~a certain mysterious power that may prove terribly fascinating to the extraverted man, for it touches his unconscious.

    Now I'm curious! Anyway, surely I've already ruined the reputation of all IEEs forever.
