Hello everyone, i'am new to the forum. I'am an INFP 4w5. The last thing i'am searching now for is instinctual variants.
I find it very hard since i can seem in some situations to fit into one and in others to be the complete opposite.
So here is how i see myself about each insincts.
Social: I don't really relate to the general definition of someone very aware of social situations and actively looking for social interactions. However it is said that type 4 SO are very socially withdrawn, i also relate to social shame and over thinking each false step that i made. Suffering of high functioning autism i make quite alot of mistakes but i'am told to be more aware of social situations than the average aspie. I guess if i was socially gifted i would actually enjoy being around alot of people and part of groups but it actually is very tiring for me. Also (certainly due to Fi) it is important for me to be sure that the group i would be part is 100% compatible with my personal values, so i tend to not quickly participate until i'am fully aware of where the group is leading to.
Sexual: I relate to the description of being "intense". Again might be due to Fi, but i'am very focused on moral matters, what is right and wrong,.. I'am not someone who joke easily and i tend to over analyse everything. I can be very passionate about subjects i hold dear. I also realised i tend to be more at ease on a head-to-head type conversations than when having to speak to a group of people. In condition that the said person to be intersting and share the same value as me. In the other hand i'am better for formal talking and can be hard to relax and be more intimate.
Self-Preservation: I am aware of my well being. I care about being healthy. However not to the same degree as some people who tend to be maniacs, very aware of every security issues. Since type 4 SP are called "Dauntless" and said to not care as much as other SP about their safety it is hard to say. I can be dauntless in some situations but not to the degree of being careless and loosing everything or risking my life. Also i'am afraid of living a boring repetitive life, but in the other hand somehow too afraid to take too much risks and tend to wait until everything is sure and calculated before taking a step (strong 5wing).
Hope that will give this gives enough to help me.
Thanks
