I dumbed it down. it's not so much about like or dislike, but how energy is translated. lungs and blackburry's distaste for him didn't seem spawned by much else than his childish poking; obviously they were somewhat bitey in commenting on the knight in shining armor thing, but lol it's not like I haven't seen similar responses to that kind of grandiosity in other ILEs. ultimately it seemed like he was just being purposely grating, albeit in a semi-harmless way, to buoy whatever half-baked self-image had propelled him that far, not so much staking theoretical pissing ground like aleksei, so kudos there. but yeah, I could empathize with their frustration easier than his position, partly because the burden of worth is on the OP, but mainly because people who know when and when not to speak are simply preferable to me. now I'm not gonna go about making stereotypes but it's not like my communications with Ni/Se types on the whole aren't easier because of this native sense of boundaries. anyhow, what I see with him is this social sloppiness, where it's either that people are annoying, narcissistic E3s who are obviously inimical to his ends, or enneagram drones who can't recognize an E8, etc. and it just reeks of Fe-seeking defense mechanisms. the latent harmlessness in it all is what points to ILE > SLE for me, along with a general lack of composure I would expect any Se-dominant to maintain in such aimless social drama. either way, he seems like an ok guy.
