Thanks for the reply. Knowing that does make it easier for me to innerly relate to what you have written. I am also reflecting on how I ended up on this forum, and what I want to do here, and since this is the springboard to that reflection, I wanted to start by asking that.
As an ENTP, I do value congruity and having a solid inner platform to direct action, thoughts and moral. Still, I am not much of a theorycrafter, I tend to see the ‘essence’ of things early, and then put them into my applied and evolving matrix of understanding, without tending as much to formulate every single piece and making it so that it fits. I do that in relationships, but not with theories of thought.
When I read your text, I do feel a gentle tug in myself. It is like you build this inner castle of understanding—you really gronk it—and it is an exercise well worth the endeavour. Even though it doesn’t necessarily means you can apply it everywhere, like build a house, fix a relationship, hold trauma, etc, I have this kindness for it; like it has been made out of clay, and it is beautiful. Not that it is weak, per say, but it is a bit.. distanced and without expressive emotions. It is not without emotion, they are just the more mental, Introverted thinking ones, like clarity, understanding, acceptance, thoughtfulness and solidity of mental being and thought.
So I am grateful that you shared, and also a bit confused (not causally related) about my place here. Reading yours, and also others’ theories and understandings, I am not sure I trust myself not to come across as.. harsh in my directness and unyielding in my pursuit of application. In a way you seem to treasure this work in a way I do not.
That is a bit distressing, but I believe you at least hold your own ideas with the needed compassion and care, even though I am more sloppy. Which is good to know, as I believe it deserves that kind of attention.
I generally score INTP on MBTI.
