Inferior Function Fascination

Inferior Function Fascination

An interesting thing about the inferior function is that it can be a surprisingly noticeable part of a person’s personality.  I think people have a tendency to be fascinated by it.  I’d like to write about how each inferior function can show up in a positive way below.

ENXPs (inferior Si): Those with inferior Si can have a strong appreciation for things that remind them of positive experiences they’ve had in the past.  They can also have an appreciation for aesthetics and have sensory interests such as decorating, dance, etc.

IXFPs (inferior Te): Inferior Te can cause IXFPs to strongly admire efficiency and logic.  It may also cause them to be be good at leading groups of people.

EXTJs (inferior Fi): Inferior Fi can cause EXTJs to be interested in finding their identity and staying true to their values.  They may find that they enjoy emotional stories and making romantic gestures.

IXTPs (inferior Fe): People with inferior Fe may dislike social disharmony and take steps to avoid it.  They may be surprisingly interested in emotional stories as well.

INXJs (inferior Se): Inferior Se can lead to a love of beauty and sensory experience.  It may cause INXJs to have aesthetic or physical hobbies such as painting, dance, etc.

ESXPs (inferior Ni): Those with inferior Ni may show interest in discussing abstract topics and trust their intuition more than expected.  They may be interested in psychology or mystery novels.

EXFJs (inferior Ti): Inferior Ti can cause EXFJs to enjoy solving puzzles and challenging themselves.  They may also find themselves interested in how things work.

ISXJs (Inferior Ne): Inferior Ne may cause ISXJs to enjoy writing, travel, or anything that allows them to be creative and explore.  They may also be surprisingly spontaneous at times.

Tips on getting motivation back?

MOTIVATION IS A MYTH AND WILL NOT GET YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO BE.

Practice discipline and dedication. Know what you want and be willing to put in the work, even if you hate it.

Relying on motivation will leave your ass on the couch watching Netflix for 5 hours because you “don’t feel like studying/exercising/working” but dedication will tell you “bitch, get it together and get going!”

My foster kitten

Best advice my 19 year old roommate gave me

“Just give him three days. Wait three days, no texts, no calls, no nothing. Then see if he comes back” “What if I can’t wait three days tho??” “You see the thing is, you keep running back to him and he gets off on it. He knows he’s gonna have you coming back to him. Why not give him three days and make him realize, oh shit it’s serious, I’m really losing her!” “What if he doesn’t even come back?” “Then why would you wanna be with someone that doesn’t want you? Why would you wanna be with someone like that?”
