I think understanding yourself first is the key. understanding others is a happy byproduct that will come afterwards. in my opinion
that's wonderful!I think already my confusion has been cleared though, since I just realized some things.
for me this is thinking about people (myself & others) just through the lens of a theory. i'm not interested in thinking about the theory itself.You are IEI Ni type, so thinking about theories all day will not be as stressful as it will be for some SEIs.
