Why is there so few of us in here? Do you think Gammas would be less interested in socionics?
Do you think the description for Gamma sucks? Because I think it does even if I mostly relate to it.
I can't help but see the bias in the description for Gammas. "Alphas are so fun and nice and Gammas are too serious, harsh, would barely crack a smile, and only care about money."
And back when I thought I was ISFP, when I only relied on MBTI tests, I was fine with it and made a friend who also got ISFP in her test.
Eventually she dropped me, quietly of course, just by acting cold out of nowhere, because I was too confrontative towards a guy in our friend group for making constant racist remarks unprovoked. All I did was telling him he's being a jerk and that is not ok. He would make fun of our friend's appearance (who's not part of the group, a friend that my ISFP friend likes) yet somehow, I was the one acting in the wrong? She later apologized but our friendship never recovered and we lost touch.
In college, I lean more towards helping the underdog, the poor, and all that. I'm like that since I was a teenager actually. My college was very left-leaning, hippie, punk, all of that, and I was fine with it. I enjoy countercultural movements. Around that time, I thought ok, maybe I am actually an INFp, a Beta. I am idealistic and I want to take steps to improve the world. But then one day they asked for a general strike that would mean we couldn't go to school anymore until they get what they want, which was stopping the insane tuition fees raise, which is fair, but later on they started protesting for free schooling for all. I just thought that was getting ridiculous. I don't mind the idea of free schooling for all, but I don't think we are ready for it at all. People have to be ready to pay more for taxes. Good luck with getting that to happen. Protesters would call anyone who don't agree with their tactics "sheeples" when I just wanted to finish my degree. I think that was the start of when I started feeling jaded towards so many leftist movements. Their voting system sucked ass, which involved sitting on the gym floors for 8 hours straight (which most people cannot do so they would just leave before the voting happens) and then raise our hand if we want the strikes to keep going. You'd get insults and people looking in our eyes with high disdain, and the organizers wouldn't say shit because they are extremely biased.
I realized I am too individualistic for those people. They are loud because they want to stay true to themselves. If I try to be loud while being true to myself, they'd threaten me for not preaching the same things as they do, even though all I would do is to criticize their tactics. They'd be so quick to label me as the bad guys, because they only think in black and white.
I later made another friend who was more chill and understanding. In a loud group setting where everyone would exchange jokes, I tend to step out from being overwhelmed, and the friend would talk to me and understand my need for something quieter. But they don't like when I bring up crass jokes, which is something I enjoy. Eventually they started getting interested in social justice, but not the type that stirs shits and get you to write to people, the type that corrects your language for not being inclusive enough. If I bring up personal issues related to being depressed and feeling alone, they'd send me videos about philosophy, about trying to see the nice things in life. They'd congratulate me for cleaning my room even though that is something that everyone should do frequently. But it doesn't feel enough. There's a coddling aspect to it all that doesn't satisfy me, or rather it bugs me. We can do so much more.
I also lost touch with that person, who is too afraid to tell me why, just no response, just ghosting.
I might be an asshole, but that's from myself trying to be true to myself. Every other quadras are so easy to find.
Is it because I avoid people who are all about hustle culture and money?
I don't want to believe I'm the only one turned off by that. I just want to be surrounded by reasonable people lol
