And mainly because of how you *react* in threads to perceived insult or unfairness. It is immediate but it is from an NF flavor. Um. Let me see, I'm sure you see it with me, Marm, etc.
There is a palpable wall someone hits with CP6's when they react. People aren't getting past it and I can see that with how you respond sometimes. But 4's are reactive too.
I think there's something Ni-ish about e6 in itself (like there's something Ne-ish about e7, etc), and on some level I feel like I relate to the bolded because of it. I can be reactive in a somewhat similar way (the palpable wall that goes up during reaction). But what gets me about CP e6- the part I can't relate to- is that it actually takes a long,
long ass time for me to silently get to that boiling point with someone (and it takes a long,
long ass time for it to go away). Or it could be about a particular topic, not a single person. But the point is that it takes repeated, consistent experience. The way CP e6 gets *there* so quickly is somewhat stunning to me.
I used to think this was fueled by righteousness, but at this point it seems to be something more like a people-centric OCD (eta: or maybe, human connection OCD /eta)? Like it's not about
already being certain one is right so much as seeing a possibility and immediately needing resolution about it? (Does that resonate at all?)
And yeah, 4s can be reactive, but it's like a reaction to something that's happening internally.
All reactions are internal by virtue of being subjective experiences, and therefore being internal events, obvs- but e4s react to something distinctly internal (like a flare up of envy or shame- even if they blame something external, its center is that internal reaction), whilst e6s reactions are about something external (like indignance or anger about some imbalance between people)? <- The crux in whether an NF is e4 or e6, imo, lies in that difference- which is
relatively perceivable from the outside. (And I too think there are NF e4s here who are actually e6s).

Also, on a mildly related note, the aforementioned remark that ISxPs are "the people's INFJ" is the God's honest truth. (Mildly related because people
don't hit the palpable Ni wall with ISxPs when ISxPs have bad reactions- thereby making them "the people's INFJ". That wall crumbles relatively easily for SPs. People- including INFJs themselves- fucking hate that wall.)
