Tell me why you think I’m EIE/SEE

[flames]

Love em both, especially Meg. And I type them as hardcore SEEs. I'd say that there are, in fact, "feelings involved," it's just that said "feelings" are oftentimes introverted/directed inwards/self-focused/hiding in plain sight > "still waters run deep"; Fi is there in the background, driving Se volitional will/action. I'd also wager that they are both 7w8s, which gives them a harder edge because of the tendency to diminish their Fi heart, in trying to avoid being stifled by negative/unpleasant experiences. It's very easy to superficially mistype this brand of SEE as SLE--but if you follow them on social media or watch their interviews, it becomes more apparent that they often act based on deeply held values and beliefs. DaBaby has gone viral several times for his often understated compassion and generosity.

Yes, I know what you mean. That’s funny you mention that because I typed him as SLE at first, myself. He is decidedly unproblematic for a male rapper (which is refreshing), so looking back at it, SEE fits well. And for Megan, well the Te valuing is obvious. I find people who “hold back” feelings or have hidden feelings quite attractive (and, they’re both hot which also helps ). That’s probably why I’ve dated so many ESIs - if someone around me is quiet and hard to read I have a strong desire to pull them out of their shells, and I’m really good at it. I want to be a therapist for a reason... but it’s all swell until it leads to arguments. I think the problem is that once I break through an ESI’s shell, I find them too emotional and they start to resent that I’m social. LSI does not normally have this issue unless they’re particularly damaged goods.

lol Agreed on all counts. This actually reminds me of something I've said before:

If I'm just looking for a fun, amphetamine-esque, no-frills, high impact fling, then mirage partner (LSI); I find that we can't sustain our role functions sufficiently enough to keep the other interested beyond amusement park level "entertainment." I'm intrigued enough to attempt to pull back the top layers, but the amount of digging and plowing necessary before accessing the fruits of that blood red ethical cherry is just...too much work. lol

On the other hand, it's much harder to do flings with my dual (ESI) because they have a nice/nasty habit of beguiling/seducing/intoxicating/addicting me and before I know it, I'm strung out worse than any junkie--there is a feeling of full mind-body-spirit, in sync wholeness and completeness that a mirage partner can't provide. Succinctly put, it doesn't take as many licks to hit that bubblegum center.

Suffice to say, I def share your fascination with rational introverts. lol Especially with ESIs, it amazes me that though their outward disposition can remain rather stony, aloof, detached and "illegible," they can be storming and boiling on the inside; with LSIs, it's like there's more ice behind the already icy exterior, which is why Fe is needed to heat their asses up > a sufficiently "warmed up" LSI can be one of the sexiest, most charming beings on the planet. Regardless, with all the particularly impassive/walled off introverts, I find myself constantly thinking, "what's going on behind there?" and I enjoy conducting my own experimentation and analysis to find out--sometimes the result is a high equality E pill, and other times, a Meth Lab explosion. lol

A low quality E pill and meth often coincide - beware.

Yeah, I used to think this is what I got from ILIs and IEIs... but the more I’ve talked to them, while they’re nice and all, the more I’ve come to realize it’s like talking to the voice inside my head. A voice that I often want to strangle. Let me tell you... Se bases get a lot of shit for being hot messes but they’re in for a doozy when they meet their beyond repair duals.
