Allow me to make a post of extreme seriousness of my typical life experiences of street crossing with and without other influencing types.
Without other influencing types
Returning home at 4:00 A.M. from 7-Eleven to sate an intense soda craving which is such I must endure while attempting to wean myself off the syrupy drink. Clutched Big Gulp freezing my hand, I walk along hollow streets under the bruising dark sky. Until I see it. The empty obstacle. All streets clear yet the red hand holds steady. Do I just cross? I’ve been told time and time again I need to wait for my signal but I understand the reasoning behind the red hand. Allow cars to cross while keeping me safe. Yet here the reasoning is meaningless as there are no cars. So… do I just ignore it and cross? Ignore it and all I’ve been told? What if there is a cop lurking in the shadows? And in this time of mental wrangling the signal goes green. Ah well another day perhaps.
With SEE and ESE
Hop skip about. Wander off some and get pulled back in by SEEI watch as they cross the street, glance quick side-to-side before dashing to follow.
I'll bite:
IEI: Looks for a lull in traffic, walks. Approaching cars in the distance may turn the walk into a run. Misses getting hit by car by 1000s of feet.
LSI: Sprints across at the earliest possible moment, and may cut it close to being roadkill.
SEE: "Are you ready?" "How bout now?" "Jordan, hold my hand, im running after this car."
ILE: The OP was spot on. Lots of grinning and bouncing.
ILI: Waits for a minor lull in traffic. Like the IEI. But less patient, and less prone to turn into a run. Will slow down traffic.
SLI: Hits a pace depending on traffic, and does not alter until they reach the side-walk.
ESI: Crosses at cross-walk. Does not J-walk with you, will only J-walk when they're ready.
ESE: "How bout now?" "How bout now?" "Are you sure?" "How bout now?" "How bout now?"...
Projection is ordinary. Person A projects at person B, hoping tovalidate something about person A by the response of person B. However, person B, not wanting to be an obejct of someone elses ego and guarding against existential terror constructs a personality which protects his ego and maintain a certain sense of a robust and real self that is different and separate from person A. Sadly, this robust and real self, cut off by defenses of character from the rest of the world, is quite vulnerable and fragile given that it is imaginary and propped up through external feed back. Person B is dimly aware of this and defends against it all the more, even desperately projecting his anxieties back onto person A, with the hope of shoring up his ego with salubrious validation. All of this happens without A or B acknowledging it, of course. Because to face up to it consciously is shocking, in that this is all anybody is doing or can do and it seems absurd when you realize how pathetic it is.
Haha I totally do the ILE thing.I false start all the time, and just assume the person will follow me or manage on their own.
My INFp best friend and I used to run across highways in mid day. Our INTj buddy just stood and watched last time. He thinks we are a streak nuts...
Can't a fella walk across a fucking street w/o being psychoanalyzed by you humans. JEESH. Hoomanz: 100% insightful. 100% useless!!! =p
