    No Adam. I think its some kind of mentality or interpretation of reality, mb its more prone to happen or to be accepted in some quadras than others. I get distant and distrustful of ppl like that, I feel they are not being honest even if acting polite on the outside.

    You don't think this is a valued Si vs valued Se problem?

    Si-doms compete by looking great. That can't be easy for other women to compete with.

    My SLI-Te ex was 5'8" and weighed about 115 lbs. She could wear anything and it would look good, but she added good taste to the mix.
    She had this white trenchcoat that looked like it came off a noir actress of the 30's. I don't think one woman in a hundred could wear it well, to say nothing of fitting into it. She was at a University conference and someone stole it from a coat rack.

    This always puzzled me. Like, who would do their clothes shopping at an academic conference? But I now realize that it wasn't stolen to make the thief look better; it was stolen to make my ex-wife look worse.

    Everyone competes.

    Yeah, I haven't noticed this in myself or other ESIs I've typed, so I just chalked it up to some interpretation thing and wrote it off, but figured I'd poke my head in lol. Coming across as a "winner" of sorts, I've noticed, sure, but at the expense of others, no. It seems par for the course that I'd be on the defense lol, but I'm not bothered, just haven't noticed. My own interpretation though.
