This guy? I remember vaguely thinking the clutter and hoarding would be Sp-last, like maybe he just doesn't give a shit, but apparently a lot of Sp/Sx's are supposed to be into that in a sort of inverted way and some of it seems kind of deliberate or like he's too into it for it to just be a blindspot. NSFW.

"sp/sx also has an inverted narcissism (perhaps distorted exhibitionism is more accurate). There's an impulse to open the raincoat and reveal cancerous lesions covering the torso and genitalia. Festering wounds with a stench. It sometimes seems to be a challenge issued around deep, deep bonding: This is me; How real are you willing to be? Psychic nudity/revelation that, in itself, threatens the sp/sx with self-destruction....or at least social self-destruction, which is part of the distilling process toward the one-to-one uber-bond. There's an element of all that with sx in general but sp/sx, in this mode, prefers it truly organically grotesque, leaving a stain and a scar that's hard to interpret."

Types of images constantly in my mind:
Nature
Potential accidents
Loved ones and accidents

I've had stuff like that running through my head since...um...probably the first time I saw a dead person on tv.
Tho i suppose me posting it might make someone else need therapy. Oops, sorry ya'll.
On our walks, my young daughter used to want to climb this rock and jump off of it. All i could see were different images of bones poking out, cracked head, smashed nose, stabbed by a slim broken trunk etc. But I knew she needed to explore her world and learn about safety etc without becoming fearful. I didn't want my nervous tension to make her needlessly scared. So I would have my brother stay with her at the rock to make sure she was safe, explain what to look for, etc. while I waited a short distance away, with my back turned, and practiced calm breathing. They used to laugh at me. And we would joke about me being paranoid. But..yeah.
(I'm not sure why I felt like sharing that.)

Head center, anxiety center, yadda yadda.

Ok, answer truthfully, whoever reads this and has a thought on it. The images i posted weren't like the rest in this thread. Less symbolism of death. But then this thread has been heavily Ni/Se influenced right? Do the images i posted fit with sp/sx? @Galen @lungs

it looked liked several different fears regarding physical danger? and i can see obviously how that would fit with sp-first 6, but for some reason they didn't really have much impact on me, looking at them. the last one stood out because of the visceral OMG factor, and the one with the man and woman in the street appealed to me, but they didn't strike me as native to the way i perceive the world or very relevant to my conception of sp/sx. i thought you were sx/sp?

(A few minutes after making that thread, i started reading other descriptions of stackings and am back to "Argh!!")
But these images wouldn't fit the sx/sp thread either.

Lots of 4 fixations here, but Ladds has a certain finesse ... even when you don't jibe with the art.
