I keep on hearing about this inner world. I was reading that introverts can tell you exactly where their social roles end and their real self begins.
What is all that about?
Interesting. I have a quick question for everyone before I go out. How would you describe introversion and extroversion in terms of a feedback loop?
In regards to social rules - because the introversion is more astute to the inner world, it may neglect externals. One of these externals might be social rules. This might give an introvert more of an awareness about where that metaphorical glass/barrier is and how to keep the world at bay by using it.
I regard the extroverted functions as being ways of relating to or dealing with the world at large. They create an urge to explore, experiment or evaluate the pragmatic utility of something.
The introverted are ways of understanding/assessing the world. The create an urge to evaluate the reasons for doing something or the subjective worth of a thing.
Bruce Lee said:I fear not the man who has practiced a thousand kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick a thousand times.
that seems a tiny bit nuts.
I think that many extroverts do the same thing but it just comes naturally...we call it social skills. We read a person or situation and respond appropriately without thinking. He has to think about it...kind of like how they say introverts will think about what they are going to say to someone before having a conversation and extroverts wing it.
that seems a tiny bit nuts.
Can somebody explain introversion and extroversion as it relates to an object. I'd like to learn more about the way the individuals focus differs whether introverted or extroverted.
I read Lenore Thomson and Jung's Classics but I need something more and am hoping somebody throws out an idea that clarifies it for me.
people arent gonna like my example of Se vs Si. but Si is internal. Lets take going around the corner fast in a car. Listening to the engine rev, hearing the sound as you go around the corner is Si. Se is noticing how the wheels are slipping, noticing how much traction/and or loss of traction you have, feeling how the car is responding to the road to gauge how much or how little gas to give it. Focusing on the "inside" of the engine is Si, focusing on the world around you is Se. Si becomes one with the engine, Se becomes one with the environment. Both have crazy control control and understanding, but one is internal and one is external. This will go against most peoples idea of Si vs Se though so take what you will from it. This is just an example that came to mind of extroverted vs introverted.

Hmm, maybe I do have a Se perspective. I always wanted to know who the hell that guy was who set speed limits.. I think I could do his job. Or at times, I knew exactly why he suggested what was on the sign, by testing the environment myself and seeing how the suggestion was spot on (btw we're not just talking about driving, right? ). That all said, I'm still Fi and in my own world in another way.
Bad example. Ehh. I was going to fix it but then you said you knew it was wrong. Read more about Si and Se. Si is comparing and stabilizing the environment. Se is adjusting yourself to the environment. The Se person is more focused on reacting to the moment while driving, wading through changes. The Si person stands back and is deliberative about the driving.
I'm plenty aware that I have my own world that is catered to my personal interests, a deeply intricate system of what's important and interesting to me. I can vouch for that world being different from how I interact with the external world, which is logical, decisive, structured and competitive.
but...the disconnect is nuts...is that just the language or does it really feel that way?
