...help me out!
I identify well with both sx and so, so I'm definitely either sx/so or so/sx.
I originally thought sx/so, just because reading sx descriptions was like a lightbulb coming on, something to explain why I get so obsessed over things, love interests especially, but also events (eg a big drama performance) or a university course I'm applying for - the idea of them being things I connect to, merge myself with and use to complete me is pretty much spot on. If I'm an sx primary, then it will all make sense. My obsessiveness defines me, I believe. I feel bored if I don't have something to be obsessed with, like I'm in limbo.
The problem is with the profile descriptions. In all the type stacking profiles I've read, the so/sx has sounded more like me. I'm definitely not super-confident, charismatic and aggressive like sx/so's are made out to be. I wouldn't be worried if it was just one profile, except that it's every single one I've read, which makes me wonder.
After all, I still identify quite well with the so description.
I think I have a faulty understanding about how the supporting instinctual variant works. How much of an impact is it supposed to have? Can an so/sx still be very obsessive?
Thanks for your help!
