SEE & being a "serious" Gamma

[Scarlett]

Okay I've been reflecting about it today and I would be curious to know if other SEE feel the same way. If not, then I'm maybe not SEE! (beware: if I want people to (re)type me which is currently not the case, I'll create a specific thread in that regard.)

In a professional setting, I'll remain friendly and sociable for sure, but in a more serious, almost cold, manner. At least at first.
Indeed, upon meeting someone new, for instance a client or co-worker, I like the exchanges to be serious in true Gamma fashion.
I like to keep it that way for some time. How long can depend on the situation, who I have in front of me, my mood at that exact moment, etc.
Excessive familiarity will make me rather incomfortable. I bet I've already been labelled by some alphas/betas as an introvert because of that!

This "serious" demeanor does clash with more informal/intimate settings where my typical ESFPness (entertaining, flexible-maneuvering temperament) reveals itself!
It will also reveal itself once the relation is well established and if there is a mutual appreciation, that is.
I tend to act like myself more easily and faster with other gammas too.

This sounds like my SEE colleague!
She seems so serious in a professional setting, but in a more informal setting she is very playful and entertaining.

My SEE sister always seems so serious to me. She’s doesn’t find me funny and holds a lot more stronger views then I thought. The funny thing is the roles were reversed when we were younger. I was more serious, she was more chill. She always seems to have a more stern and “over it” look when she’s at home. She is “funny” and wild but I don’t really see that most of the time. She works a lot so her main focus tends to be on money atm lol

We tend to use our first and second function when we were younger, SEEs are all about Se-Fi when they're young, that's why they're more chill.
Now in mid 20s-30s they're trying to use Te a lot.

I was always doubtful I was an SEE because of things like this. I cannot stand inappropriate familiarity, it really gets bothers me.

It sounds mean, but if I don't know you, don't just walk up to me and talk to me like you know me. We are not friends.

Its funny because I always attributed that to democratic types.

I act serious at work, that's how everyone does so I do that. I interact with deltas and gammas frequently and have no problem talking to them.

But something about all this seems soul crushing, I hate the business world, I hate boring meetings, I hate everything being about money.

I would imagine SEEs are all about making money and they act very professional.

I always imagined Don Draper to be an SEE. Very calm and serious, but very charming.

The bold ones: My IEI friend used to say that.
I absolutely love getting to know new people, as long as they're interesting and there's something I can learn from them or I can use for connection in the near future, why not. I don't like saying we're friends though, not interested in getting too personal.
