For all the type 1s out there who may have been a 4 at some point, what would you say that main point of integration was?
From what I understand, type 4s basic fears stem from insignificance whereas 1s fear corruption and I often find these days, with all the knowledge I have from INFPs as a personality type, issues like weakness and passiveness are constantly holding me back in life, staring me down in the face as if to say, "well, what the fuck are you gonna do about it?" In which case, I feel like I'm tapping in to this anger fueled energy where I become massively proactive and set myself up for accomplishments, no matter how small or short term the accomplishments might seem at the time.
Then I say things to myself like, "I don't have to feel jealous of other people because that's bullshit and ultimately me, projecting my inadequacy on other people. I need to become as good as, if not better than them to combat these feelings of worthlessness."
Even my body language changes. I become more upright, direct, talk louder and clearer and in a deeper tone than before and just act more like a confident aggressor in general.
Are these typical traits of a type 1? Would you consider this positive and healthy behavior for a type 4 looking for growth?
