just a note, it's usually pointless to listen to Maritsa. Ask anyone on this forum (though the consensus is not why I think this way about Maritsa - I determined it independently).

Have course, I used to write strategy guides on the forum so perhaps people listened because of that and not so much because of my energy.
Now if this was IRL and not just in a video game then it could pass for Se in ego. Also, the strategy guides.. sounds more Ni ego, if that's what people listened to, yeah.


I've always been pretty confident despite my abnormalities and being depressed, but I'm not ambitious and I'm only good at leading people after having taken a step back to look at the situation, not full on in the moment.
Bolded: not Se-leading.


Now this is tricky because I am like this and also not. I am aware that I have this way of coming across as rather arrogant which may be me subconsciously displaying my advantages to others, though my friend (SLE-Ti) said it was because I used to think that I could do anything I put my mind to which is another reason why I don't think I am truly a negativist. Never acknowledging my injuries is very true. I initially never acknowledged that there was anything different about me until so many issues came up that I became unable to ignore them.
Observe a real SEE IRL and you'll see the differences.

The bolded has nothing to do with the negativist/positivist dichotomy. That's simply about how you see things when you build your concepts - by similarities, by what is there (positivist) or by contrasts and by what is missing (negativist). I repeat, this is not about optimism/pessimism.


I wouldn't get lost but my approach wouldn't be to simply mobilize myself and use strength to power through. I would tackle the problem by analyzing it and coming up with a general plan to counter it.
Ni ego.
