Type me (sbbds)

[sbbds]

Makes sense. It just comes at a cost of making you look aloof or detached.

I don’t agree with this because as a result the content of what I say is pointed and more directly relevant (so more direct/attached in a way, ironically maybe). It must be obvious to some extent to other people that it’s a result of taking things in and processing them enough to create a concise, relevant response that directly addresses the question they are asking or the main point of what they’re communicaitng.

I think we can safely rule out any feeling type then.

Feeling types can’t be guarded towards other people? All are open books, especially Se-valuing feeling types? Introverted feeling types?

Someone could take being told they are weak as an insult, and yet not recognize being told they are strong as much of a compliment either.

I’m sorry but I can’t imagine anybody thinking that being told they are strong is a non-positive, excluding freak-abnormal high-fringe internet-only tweaker cases. Highly statistically abnormal, probably near disability level if they have that lack of understanding of what is considered compliment content and what isn’t in society.

If someone tells me I'm strong, my reaction is "huh? ok..." Intellectually I recognize that it's a good thing, but it's not something I strive to be for its own sake, and I wouldn't get any kind of ego boost from being told that.

I was only talking about the intellectual recognition of it as well this whole time.

Mainly I said it was nice because I felt like @A Moderator was trying to make an effort to connect with me in a positive way in his post too. The context and way he framed his comment made me think he was being nice to me. Also, a “forceful personality” isn’t quite the same thing IMO as being “strong” either actually, though I can see how it’s a little bit similar. Overall I just felt he was being nice more than focusing on the traits themselves he mentioned.

They can. My comment is more or less my overall impression of you after reading that and your original post.

When you said you could be derpy in private but could be elegant in public, you reminded me of my SLE ex-bf. (In other ways too.)

I’m kind of curious about what these other ways I remind you of your ex are, if it’s okay.

Worked as contractor in past. Wanted to be an expat, tried for a year, traveler. His inner circle was very important to him. Could be socially disconnected in some ways, too.

Crude and fucked up sense of humor.

Sexually charged.

Loyal to friends.

Strong, hardy, good at practical things. Well groomed, clean, not a fashionisto. Enjoys time in nature, wandering.

Things need to look good and be sanitary.

Likes people who are attractive or cute in a conscious way.

Talking / joking about licking body parts!

Awareness that ppl will hurt you even if they aren’t bad per se.

Very responsible and capable.

Well. It could be argued alternatively that nobody would appreciate being told they have a weak personality. It could be taken generally as a compliment by anybody.

Coming back to this.

Maybe nobody would appreciate being told they have a weak personality, but it's irrelevant, and presupposes that there's symmetry between peoples' preferences for insults and compliments.

The bottom line is that some types value using force and others don't. If you didn't value it, I'd think you'd be more likely to argue the point, rather than take it as a valid compliment.

I also think you value Ti, judging from your responses to some threads around here. You approach conversations from a conceptual standpoint like a Ti creative would. Reference: the thread about people who treat life as a game. Also, your ability to do this seems pretty sophisticated.

I vote SLE as well.

Thank you very much.

That’s funny because I used to get typed SEE/ESI a lot.

The presupposition of symmetry being there is also indicative of a Ti worldview, I guess.

You can't escape now.
