IEEs-ENFps, trying out new sensory things and Si

[Slacker]

There's this battle between wanting to try something new, and not wanting to end up being disappointed.

The texture of raw fish doesn't bother you? Or the fact it's basically alive on your plate? The squishy feeling between your teeth? The horrendous smell? Couple it with onions and omfg

Actually I LIKE that texture!! When it's smoked, salted, or in sushi (if it's good sushi), it doesn't have that fresh out of the ocean fishy smell. My preference is eating the salted or smoked fish with potatoes actually. Though onions do add some zip. However I must say that I grew up eating such stuff, so maybe that's why I like it. Sushi i was hesitant to try until my sister made me try one of her salmon sushi pieces in college. The first one was weird, but after the 2nd one, I was hooked!

most fish I find absolutely disgusting and won't even eat cooked, but I like salmon in sushi, and occasionally will eat sashimi. If you cook salmon I will baulk at it though. Fish bothers me.

lol same re: salmon, cooked salmon makes me queasy. Give me raw sashimi grade salmon any day!

Looks like the prequel to this

It's the Burger Joint Burger!!!

oh, Lobo's gonna be all over that one!

Yep, u hit the nail right on the head!

Quite interesting responses overall. Isn't it ISTp's who are getting stuck in a rut and keep their old habits? Isnt it ENFp's who pull them out of their old habits?

Maybe not. Just the stereotype floating around is like it is.

I feel like each one gets stuck in their own rut that is way different from each other. The SLIs get stuck in a rut of hedonism, the IEEs get stuck in a rut of being too busy and having too much on their minds to just relax and have fun.

I feel like both sort of work to pull each other out into a happy medium.

Mirror here. Depends on my mood. I usually stick to what I know but there are spurts where I just want to try something different. What I enjoy doing with friends, though, is restaurant hopping.

Si dominants tend to stick to their old faithful Si things I think, Se creatives more 'Si' adventurous.

I think this is about right. I try something that I haven't had before if I'm at a new restaurant or food outlet that doesn't have something I like, and then I usually tend to stick to that with no variation. I've been eating Oysters Kilpatrick whenever I can with minimal variation for years now.

EDIT

It's not so much that I'm afraid of being disappointed, I think it just doesn't occur to me to eat something new once I've found something tasty. I can mix things up sometimes.
