    I'm so not your dual, but let's see what you think of my answers :/

    Fix the squeaky closet door
    Try just putting some oil on it. If that fails, you can always just unscrew it and take it off the hinges. Who needs a door?

    Scrub the shower (I've maintained it clean for montha but heavy handed work is due)
    Get a good nights sleep, and do it first thing in the morning before doing anything else, so you don't procrastinate.

    Get a book case assemble it
    You can get preassembled. I'd try going second hand if you want decent wood and to not pay a lot.

    Wash the car
    Just use a car wash.

    Deliver donations to goodwill
    Fuck 'em.

    Wax the car
    Pay someone to do it.

    Im not going out there. Its midnight anything bad could be happeningr
    It probably isn't though, and then it'll be off your mind, so you can scrub the shower in the morning.

    how's this for pillows?
    http://www.amazon.com/BioPEDIC-Ultra...ywords=pillows

    although i'd spend more, i wouldn't buy 4 pillows, so i'm assuming they're for guests or something.

    and how about this for a better pillow?

    Thank you for linking to that description! I particularly liked how you explain the way Ne conflicts with Se. I related to that part a lot. Nice addition to this thread, as your post better describes how it actually feels to be a Se-ego (for you), rather than explaining the unconscious - more technical - mechanics of Se like my post. I wrote a similar post to yours once, maybe even less technical than yours, but it has been deleted. Maybe @mu4 can find it in the soft deleted threads? It must have been written around 2009, during Gilly's regime. It is probably clumsy and all, but I doubt I can write such a description now, as I've learned too much theory to be smart anymore.

    I'm being told how to do the stuff? My bf will takr care of them this week. Pillows should be purchased in person. How are you going to tell what you're getting if they are comfortable and how they feel and what quality they are

    Find out what kind of pillow fits your purposes best. (ex: body pillow, some are meant for sleeping on your side, some are memory foam for people with back/neck problems)
    Type the name of that pillow into Amazon search -> Sort by Department (Home maybe) -> Sort by "Avg Customer Review" instead of Relevance
    5 stars + tons of reviews = ka-ching! Although it's probably smart to skim through 1 star reviews, read 2 or 3 star more carefully and then go through 5 star reviews. If you're especially paranoid, skim through 4 star. Basically looking for "patterns" of the product not fitting some kind of purpose and then checking if that pattern will interfere with your purpose.
    Repeat the process with several other departments (but if you really like your option already and it's under a certain price, eh.).

    Or just wait for LSE to do it, they appreciate being needed and taking care of things.
    I promise if you keep searching for everything beautiful in this world, you will eventually become it.

    Maybe you can steal 4 of their pillows when they are not looking.

    Lol you got a lot of patience there, I'd never waste time on checking other people's reviews who may have different priorities. But I recall we discussed this before as this being a manifestation of your Te PoLR?

    I often read reviews before I purchase something, most reviews are pretty decent and you can use common sense to determine which ones are too demanding for the price range etc, but basically if you've got a stack of reviews, with an overall satisfaction rating, then it does represent a useful survey as to the quality of the merchandise and service.

    I never needed that, I usually just check the product description itself, if it's not satisfactory/not detailed enough to answer my questions I move on and look for a better one but it usually is fine. The point is, I go by my own priorities and I don't care to waste time reading the average joe's babbling as a review. Professional reviews are sometimes informative though.

    The Te PoLR approach is clearly different from your post, btw.

    i see and as simply not being able to "run" at the same time. in order to engage one must "turn off" . although turning off may not make sense, if you have activated that means is "off." if one can focus thoroughly on these guided "feeling your body" meditations, where you're just doing what the meditation tells you to do, then should technically be "off." (it will want to come back on though, of course... it will always be coming back on and drowning out the physical focus.)
    And that's why I have never truly enjoyed that type of meditation.
    I don't enjoy having my Ni "turned off".

    Maybe I am just clutching at straws here, but in my one film class that is comprised of a couple of Se ego types, I would turn my head way more often when some specific sound was to be heard. Haha.

    Oh, and that Se advice is good and all, but... my Ego immediately said to me "Oh no, you won't be able to do this!" :/

    Mostly I liked the idea of strengthening one's HA in order to eventually come around to one's PoLR somehow. Though I have noticed the more I do this, the more my Creative function starts to suffer, and wouldn't my already poor Se suffer in turn as well? I was just wondering whether I should not work on my Fe instead. It's good for my ego, literally, for a number of reasons. First, I actually use one of my strengths. I will be naturally good at it, and enjoy myself. Secondly, I'll be more in contact with the outside world. An introvert who stays in his introverted functions forever will just go nuts. Finally, according to the Inert/Contact subtype theory, one's Dual-Seeking function will be more "boosted" when one is the subtype of the Creative function.

    Maybe you really should just make the best out of your own ego functions. Additionally, doing so will make you get rid of the "functional mask" you acquire while trying to act like another type. This, in turn, will make you more easily detected by and more attractive to your dual. Find your dual, enrich each others' lives, and be yourself.

    Problem solved?

    You make it sound so complicated.

    I just go:

    Ctrl-N (new windows)

    Ama(zon.com); enter (it remembers)

    Pillows; enter.

    Scroll down bottom left of screen, click Average customer review 4 and up.

    I read reviews on stuff I care about. I hate having crap that's no good. Stuff I don't care about, sure get something cheap and move on.

    The thing is some people care about more things than other people.

    I went for a long overdue, three mile hike in the woods this morning and the sounds of nature can focus your attention on the external in a very refreshing way. I found myself hearing some shuffling in the leaves and found my eyes searching for its source, finding a squirrel or chipmunk darting way.
    Important to note! People who share "indentical" socionics TIMs won't necessarily appear to be very similar, since they have have different backgrounds, experiences, capabilities, genetics, as well as different types in other typological systems (enneagram, instinctual variants, etc.) all of which also have a sway on compatibility and identification. Thus, Socionics type "identicals" won't necessarily be identical i.e. highly similar to each other, and not all people of "dual" types will seem interesting, attractive and appealing to each other.

    Yeah, I always thought it's better to focus on the Creative instead of the HA when wanting to get around PoLR.

    You are still supposed to pay some attention to Role function, though. And of course to dualizing.

    Yep, I'm like that about stuff I care vs don't care about. Just the difference is I seek out information about those things I care about in a different way.

    As to your last sentence. Yes that was my point too.

    My role tells me to never let anyone else choose my mattress, pillows or sheets for me. Except for maybe an SEI. I might trust them. I find some men can sleep on rocks and care less about it.

    So I typically have an anxious time pushing boundaries as playing safe is all about my Ne positive. When I hear about an SEE friend do that and break something in the process it makes me saw "awww" I typically like to make things last so I'm cautious

    I see. So, I need to engage in "feel your body" meditation in order to be more socially acceptable.

    My patience for that kind of meditation is very low. I find myself back in my head without effort. I like the path of least resistance which is my base function.

    You can listen to people who have stimulating conversations about realistic events that are going on in the world to strengthen your psyche.

    @Myst Maybe. Reviews seem like the best way of "test driving" the product before buying. Sometimes you will see reviews that exactly match your purpose and you'll know fairly sure.

    @Satan Okay fair, but I thought mostly 4s and up only state the good parts of the product instead of the bad ones? 1 star reviews are okay, but some of those people are crazy and should not be trusted...so I check 2 star too. Also I heard that people are paid to review products, make them seem amazing. How do you account for that? Also how long on average do you take to purchase things? Unless it's really inexpensive, I usually research for a good 2-3 hours minimum before making a decision. 4 pillows is pricey on my scale (assuming each is $10) so $40 would merit a more thought out decision.
    I promise if you keep searching for everything beautiful in this world, you will eventually become it.

    OK I'll explain a bit more. I find it easier to simply research information provided by the seller/manufacturer a bit to understand the relevant points about the product if I truly care about getting a good one and it's a new area to me. For the rest, simple stuff or for stuff I already understand I just go by my already existing practical experience. Pillows are going to be in the latter category, specifically the overly simple stuff. I understand you are different here so I'm not trying to tell you to do it in a different way if you are OK with it as it is.

    Btw you'd also need to be able tell who's lying to make the product sound better because of getting paid for the review and who's simply an idiot who doesn't know how to use the stuff so gives it a bad review with a low score

    yeah-yeah. It's kinda like when you fap and your Ne creative NPD strokes ego and imagines decayed and dripping wet female bodies for others (instead of what's really out there) coz you prolly can't stand looking at your wife's anymore kinda. It's prolly kinda getting older and uglier day by day.

    Se feels like masculine energy to me. Experiencing Se is to feel more masculine.

    No chance in this life. You should learn how to hit ppl in the balls in 5 razor-sharp-words instead of pussy-ass sentimental passive-agg kilometric rants ejaculated in random inboxes and around the forum.
