How your last function triggers you

[@mattguess9887]

I love how your example perfectly captures an aspect of inferior Se performance anxiety over being able to react in time to said squirrel.

[@lucianalfaro9170]

Actually that was more of an Se analogy. She seems to be very in touch with her inferior since she's taken so much time to self reflect woth MBTI. Pure Ni would just talk about the concept as a concept. It wouldn't tie it to a real life event to explain it. That's Se's doing

[@InternetLiJo]

Lmao In my mind it’s like, well how do I simulate the same physiological response in any type, clearly squirrels 🤣

[@tengdayz2]

I don't suggest working directly on your 4th function. It's something that you make a space for, not work on. Example: intj's hate doing chores, but feel good after they are done, so they need to do chores, when nothing else makes them feel good. I was going to explain it in depth, but here is the concise version. Don't take conscious control over Fi and Se, or you will be miserable. A balanced intj makes space for Fi and Se, so those functions can unpleasantly prod you to do the thing that you need to feel better (re balanced, centered and back on solid ground because you went to conceptually high) Like you were probably not feeling right, so you made this video, and now you feel better because you did one of the things that you do to feel better, even though your inner prodding to do it wasn't pleasant. It's not the thing for us, but the feeling that doing thing provides, but only in the space that we feel like it's only thing that is going to work. At bedrock we are just simple happy people aiming to live a long peaceful and fulfilling life, but it takes our conscious masterminding to pull off this feat within all of the worlds noise.

[@InternetLiJo]

Totally agree about making space for

[@treblestrings6263]

How do you work directly on your 4th function? Most people seem to do it in a way that is inefficient at best and unlike anything that Carl Jung suggested.

I think you mean working on your coping strength, and if you don't, you may want to.

Oh man when you said it gets traumatized and lingers....yeah so mine lingered for months because of real trauma but also that 4th function getting butt hurt. I'm an ESTP who had to cut ties with an abusive SOB. I thought I was clever and outsmarted him-almost but not quite. Said asshole hunted me down and it took me months to not be paranoid again.

[@BuizelCream]

I have an ESTP friend who recently cut ties with me, even though I had done all I can to be a good friend to him, as a loyal INTJ with an exhaustively long patience towards people I care about. Your reponse gave me perspective on what he thinks of me, maybe. I guess I can now perceive what he might feel if I decide to reach out to him again. I hope he doesn't go paranoid because I wanted to have proper closure in our friendship. 🤔

[@nyxcole9879]

@@BuizelCream The person I'm talking about was a serious abuser, it was the hardest thing for me to do because when I AM loyal I'm loyal to a fault se/fe, ride or die. So if there's not some super bad history and you feel called to reach out to yourfriend, you might be surprised, just my hot take 🙂 Have a great day

[@mauritsbol4806]

I just love this example. It is only an intj that can make a situation out of a squirrel crossing the road. Like as entp, you just hate on habits, but the example squirrels are so Te Se i love it. Oh no if i hit a squirrel... Why is that the first thing that comes up? Entp would've probably just taken a different road by now, Ti Ne can sub in for lack of Se, but the INTJ would carefully try to not hit the squirrel, and then the best part, still hit the squirrel, and i love it! Who else should make fun of, if nothing fun happens.

[@ryanquick1824]

i wouldn't necessarily call it such a thing as 'triggers' ANYthing like 'squirrels' (of whatever metaphorical sort) but out of respect for the realities of the situation (whatever it might be). also, its not that the squirrels are traumatized (besides the emotional factor) but, out of respect for the realities of the situation - squirrels or unknowns (of ANY type). - INTJ

[@InternetLiJo]

Totally - that's why I said whatever the objective nature of the function is 💯

[@jeremy454]

I myself love using my Se especially around Se dominant users in social situations. It brings out a side of me that desperately needs air. I think I suppress this function because it takes an energetic toll on my Si which I pay for later and don’t even realize because it’s unconscious. A biohack that helps is to practice celibacy for 3-4 week cycles. The extra energy helps fill the Si energy gap and improves your interoception which frees the rest of your cognitve functions. Over time you can literally build a better functioning Si by building the underlying nuerological hardwarware.

[@YourNickIsTaken]

This made me think. Are there questions that could trigger these lover functions? How can i get used such questions for job-interviews / dating / getting people know better? (Im an asshole intp, i rarely talk to people, but when i do i don't care about the person at all, but i love to know their thinking better. And i ask questions like: what is that happened to you that you are proud of from the last 5 months / What is the the common way people do misinterpret your words? / Are there any books(movies) you consider worthwhile to read(watch) again and how so? / Is there anything you want or you had been told to change about yourself that you don't want to change and a how it is better for you to not changing it? Is there anyone who did something great for you and What was that?)

So this one might be the right video for my observation.

[@InternetLiJo]

Does sound like an Fi thing! Not something I’ve thought about much aside from when I’ve had the transcripts of my videos copied and re Uploaded to other channels with an ai voice. It sucks when you put the work in and then someone takes it without any thought of their own.

I wouldnt say the problem isnt real, more like "why is this a problem in the 1st place?" "Whats the root of the problem?" "And is this problem serious or light?" At least, thats what I got most of the vid cuz saying the problem is fake is kind of like saying the problem is an illusion. Sounds more like a Se inferior way of explaining it lol. No hard feelings cuz usually "eureka" moments of solving ur inferior function issues is usually explained creatively and unorthodox...as with this squirrel analogy. There's a level of truth of the problem that while Im driving, the squirrel is indeed being a bozo blocking the way. Thats the trackable transaction and not only that, the people close to my type got relatable problems. Whether or not myself, people or things are causing the problem is a different issue. Now if u told me I was taking mushrooms and I saw a squirrel blocking the way, now I would say the problem of the squirrel is fake but the problem of taking drugs is real. Dont try this at home folks. You can just take another route or actually try to talk to it 😂. But I hope u get my point here.

[@charles2241]

Lijo: I have what is an interesting question for me, and as I know the INTJ mind, regardless of how little (or much) you might know about the subject directly, I know you'll want to give this a try, so here goes. First a little background. I'm mostly INTJ, so that's how I know our minds, but I had only one real GF in my life, and as I'm much older than you now, I still don't have the answer to this question. I suspect introverted girls, especially those on camera frequently, know much more about boys, than I did about girls for most of my life. Also, this GF and I got along fantastically, well beyond what the mind could imagine, but I only knew her a couple of months before she had to leave. I was extremely averse to parties, having only gone to one in my youth, which went badly. My question is if you could foresee as distinctly possible, that a guy that didn't go to parties at all, could have been a regular partier, if, and only if, he got along with another introverted girl as fantastically as we did and we might go to parties. I'm not entirely sure she was an introvert, but then I can'\t recall her ever talking to anybody else but me either (I was her boss). What I'm basically saying, is I think she made me quite a bit more extroverted than usual, but it also sounds sort of odd to say that we were in a zone together it seems, where despite lots of other people being around on the job, they almost didn't exist, and like it always seemed to happen (with one notable exception) when a girl and I were interested in each other, even if just making goo-goo eyes, nobody else noticed it. There's no way the entire crew didn't notice me and her being very friendly with each other, but it sure seemed like nobody knew. What say you? Again, do you think two introverts could go to parties regularly? I have had some introvert guy friends, and NO WAY we would go to parties together, unless we were the only ones there, but throwing a female dynamic in there, I suspect it could be very different, even if she's introvert.

[@mauritsbol4806]

1:59 this is peak lack of Ti btw. It happens more often than you think. If you try to avoid killing squirrel, why is your first solution to not killing the squirrel killing the squirrel. This isn't consistent. This doesn't make sense.

[@mauritsbol4806]

But now, here's the best part. People see it as mission success because i didn't ride over the squirrel. While i believe that the squirrel really doesn't mind if he dies by tyre, or is gunned down.
