    My cousin's oldest daughter (7) is INFp. Today we had a bridal shower and this kiddo was eating cream puffs; she split it open and started to lick the cream inside. My family members, who were sitting around the table, next to her, noticed her and started to make fun of her and the way she ate the cream; she was getting it on her upper lip, chin, nose tip and began to lick it off. She went from fun and entertaining herself to suddenly crying. Had I not known Socionics, I would never have reacted as I did in that very moment. I grabbed her, sat her on my lap and wiped her silent tears with my hands, saying "bales [this word is not translatable into English, it just mean my precious child] don't cry." I told everyone in silent, cold look "don't say anything more to her." These adults genuinely felt bad for what they were saying; they were hoping she would take what they said lightly, but come to find out, our INFp child does not like being made fun of. She had me help her with a painting project and when I was leaving, she ran up to me, hugged me and said "thank you for cheering me up."

    I did nothing except wipe her tears, call her "bales," and help her paint. I said nothing funny or fun to her. I understand the interaction between Beta LSI and IEI now. It's sweet.
    What does this story have to do with "being fickle?" I can't imagine why you would dig up such an old post to share a completely unrelated story.

    When people made fun of me as a child I made fun of them right back, which was easy because they were stupid and they made easily refutable claims. I actually quite enjoyed it. I never cried unless I was physically injured.

    Probably because I'm hell spawn.

    To answer the original question (since I am the only real IEI responding according to Martisocioncs): no I am not fickle in any aspect of my life. In my relationships a am --perhaps-- too steadfast. It takes a *lot* for me to become upset with a person I have decided I like and I usually don't forgive once they have done something to alienate themselves from me.

    I couldn't find one to put it in and didn't want to start a new one. MAYBE someone should open a Beta Lounge and sticky it.

    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

    ....why would someone sticky your account of the fact that your niece is probably a little over sensitive and your family likes to make fun of children?
