Thread: What IE could be at the origin of this story?

    Default What IE could be at the origin of this story?

    Ok so I really went through a very special moment several months ago and even if I have my own idea, I would like to know what it could be due to precisely

    To make a long story short, after having felt violent pains in my testicles I made my researchs and it indicated a probable testicular torsion, so I panicked and called the emergencies, I complained to my mother and I finally took a cab which, once arrived at the emergency room, had to turn around because I forgot or rather did not know that this kind of services were not free... Once back home the pain was gone, all's well that ends well.
    No. One month later the same pains started again, except that I was not as anxious as before, but rather serene although a little annoyed, in my mind the same scenario of the last month was going to repeat itself, that is to say a temporary suffering without great importance, the minutes, hours pass and nothing changes, at this point I wring my neck in pain in my bed, I find ways to cope by moving around, surfing the net etc. then I finally lock myself in a nap being convinced that everything will be over when I wake up: not at all, I was at the same point except that more than 10 hours had passed, my mom encouraged me to go to the emergency room; once I arrived I was pretty calm, I thought I was saved, so I go on the table, the operation goes well, then the surgeon in charge of the operation arrives in my room and informs me that I lost my ball, it necrosed long before I came; the surgeon lectured me on my lack of reactivity, quite rightly so.
    My fertility etc was indeed impacted but I don't mind.
    Is it 2D Normative Si? Or Ni, honestly I feel like I've been on the fence in terms of feeling and intuition, even if it seems contradictory

    Avoiding hospitals and minimizing the importance of my pains is what I (LIE) do. It is also what killed EIE Steve Jobs. Si-PoLR.

    It might not be your problem, but it looks like similar behavior.

    Testicular torsion is probably more common than people realize and yeah people lose their testicles as a result. I'm curious how the surgeon "lectured" you on your lack of a reaction.

    There was a young guy who had a testicular torsion, the pain was so great that when they finally removed his testicle he was relieved that he was no longer in that much pain. So this isn't really an abnormal reaction from what I've heard from similar situations.

    From a socionics standpoint, I would not put this in normative Si territory. This is like 4d or 1d Si stuff.

    I remember when I was a kid going through puberty my balls ached all the time, I told my parents and I went to the doctor. The doctor told us it was a result of puberty.
    The Barnum or Forer effect is the tendency for people to judge that general, universally valid statements about personality are actually specific descriptions of their own personalities. A "universally valid" statement is one that is true of everyone—or, more likely, nearly everyone. It is not known why people tend to make such misjudgments, but the effect has been experimentally reproduced.

    The psychologist Paul Meehl named this fallacy "the P.T. Barnum effect" because Barnum built his circus and dime museum on the principle of having something for everyone. It is also called "the Forer effect" after its discoverer, the psychologist Bertram R. Forer, who modestly dubbed it "the fallacy of personal validation".

    He was pretty rude with me because i waited like 10 hours before going to the emergencies, he saw this as a careless behavior, testicle is already dead if you don't do anything the 2-4 hours after the first sign of pain, i was on the verge on losing my two balls had i didn't move in time. I understand him, as you said it's more common than we think so i definitely fucked up there, it's on me.

    Also, it's not the first time i ignore my pain and i get punished for it. I literally found myself in the middle of my city with bloody heels a few weeks ago because I had the good idea to walk around in the new, slightly too narrow shoes I had bought. Taking a step was impossible at one point as my feet were soaked in blood, I lost my $1000+ phone in the process as I was so oblivious to my surroundings. I think someone stole it.

    1D Si seems interesting, because I also strangely relate to the ENFJ Si PoLR description in the Filatova's book as it summarizes me textbook; when I take the elevator I never use my fingers but rather the key of my apartment to push the button, when I eat in an unfamiliar place I examine the cutlery to make sure there are no traces and stuff.
    I never considered having such a low Si but maybe i should look into it

    Sounds like EIE Si PoLR. Sorry about the ball, bro.
