Since your Lead function is directly contrary to the Ignoring function, you will draw fire for using a devalued perspective in a group full of people using your Ignoring function; therefore, to fight back and establish the true hierarchy of your Lead function over their contrary value, you need to be creative in dismantling it and making it look silly or inane, playing it as a sort of mocking game to make people see how ridiculous the perspective is.

So I would think yes, that the ignoring function develops as a side effect of the Lead Function, as embracing the Lead element's worldview downplays the Ignoring element's worldview and deems it as trite and obsolete. Its only purpose is to get people to stop using it and stop believing it and to instead embrace your Lead perspective.


Good point it does seem to manifest automatically around other people, as though almost goading them into challenging it and losing, in favor of the lead function
I think it goes beyond that though, because people use it even when alone, albeit unconsciously. It seems like the default relaxed state function. Maybe people are physically identified with it to the extent they don't experience a difference between their own use of it and another's, so it would develop merely by experiencing others using it
