Type me based on this neat questionnaire

I see. What kind of interest do you need to be shown, physical mainly, not emotional, or that too?

Maybe this is a strange question but what do you question about your feelings? Whether they are rational, or?

I need both physical and emotional. Physical grounds me from my thoughts very strongly and leaves things very unambiguous. I like people to be straightforward with me, whether emotional and verbal or physically.
I question whether I feel something for someone, I question whether the other person will stay interested. I'm worried about if I have the right to pursue them, or if I should keep out of their business. It feels like it never stops, though it gets easier if the other party is clear about it. The more I know I feel for someone, the harder it is to approach them or flirt (outside of a relationship).

All this is the same for me.

Holy shit, man. "I'm worried about if I have the right to pursue them, or if I should keep out of their business." is something that I've never told anyone, but is something that I think about every day.

I'm in limerance with an ESI woman in her late-twenties. I like her. She's fucking perfect, but I can't say anything or make a move because of the above. What right do I have to intrude in her life?

I see. As a beta ST aggressor, I'm sure of my physical interest, but not my emotional interest at all. I'm easily able to initiate yeah but emotionally it's hard just like for you, the more I feel the harder for me to emotionally initiate.... So I only initiate physically in those cases, and I only do superficial "emotional" initiating if my interest emotionally is still light enough. Even then only bc I get impatient with waiting for the other person, lol. And it's still focused on action more, i.e. asking them out, etc... When it was a case where I felt too much I really shut down emotionally and just talked in very "logical terms" when initiating. I was only sure of what actions I wanted to take and spoke of that/acted based on that but I was not sure of the rest, I'd have needed an emotional signal from the other person before I could do anything in that area. Anyway that's me, I don't know how other beta STs are with the emotional side....but I can't imagine LSIs are any better at this lol, I especially don't imagine LSI-Ti that way. I imagine SLE-Se is the most decent with this of all beta STs

Lol yes that sounds very aggressor, although seems odd for an LSI to be that impulsive, at least in what you describe.

LSI-Ti definitely isn't impulsive. They have too many Ne PoLR concerns for that lol.

No I definitely do not think it's easy for LSIs to initiate emotionally. To provide the other side to your point there, when someone is physically initiating with me, showing their hand in that way, it becomes safe in my mind to express my feelings. Fi ignoring can be a bitch sometimes so i'm not always sure. I will be expressing my excitement and enthusiasm of being around that person for certain, though. That comes quite naturally

I see. Btw I noticed you said that you are more emotionally expressive in groups... I read that EIE is more emotional when they can be themselves with the other person in private. I also read that IEIs are more emotional at home. Does that fit you at all under any circumstances? There's a beta NF in the family and I'm not sure if they are EIE or IEI, I suspected EIE-Fe but I could be wrong... what he does is he's almost got social anxiety in public until he gets comfortable with the people and then he gets to emote a lot more openly and like gets uncontrollably emotional almost, but in groups he takes time to get there, if he can get comfortable at all.

I had very strong social anxiety until my mid-late teens and worked on it for years. These days it's very faint, but i'm still cautious on some level in new environments. In general, I have found strategies and mental pathways that have allowed me to be expressive most places. Actually it's funny that you mention home, because that's the place I feel more inhibited. I think it's to do with my family knowing me before I escaped my shell, I can't be the same person at home with them as out in the world. When i'm not at home, I feel like I can put on the mask that is me. Or maybe taking it off is a better way to put it

Wow, what mental pathways are there allowing you to be expressive like that?

Sounds like cool Ni btw

Trade secret
A lot of it is to do with entering mental roles to act out and narrativizing the moment.

LSI-Tis can be quite impulsive if they are trying to prove something to themselves and others. They can go overboard. Also, Ne POLR paranoia can lead them to do some pretty insane illogical shit. The right type of EIE is supposed to help them understand social/emotional dynamics in a clear-cut way.

Ah ok, I only wrote that based on the couple LSI-Ti's Ive known & type descs. The ones I know are not too insane lol I think so that maybe counts too.
