I always thought I was sx/sp, but now I'm not so sure and I'm thinking I might be sx/so. I have a a few reasons for why I think I am each type, and I'd like to share those reasons in order for you all to help me. (I'm 3w2, by the way.)
First off, I'm pretty sure I'm sx-first. I'm very passionate, emotional, and intense. Regarding why I always thought I was sx/sp, I think that's because I always have to put on this image of self-sufficiency and independence, an image I value so highly that it makes me withdraw from other people. I also intensely value alone time and get more easily frustrated with people's nuanced shortcomings than most. I abhor the idea of revealing deep weaknesses to others and I want to be strong.
On the other hand, I could be sx/so because I'm also incredibly goofy and I adore parties and being social -- especially when I look good and attract the attention of others. I am very happy and content when I'm with my friends and I love doing light-hearted and fun things with them, making them laugh and being the center of attention; the problem is when things get too deep and people start to see my flaws. I'm sort-of okay getting a little bit deep and vulnerable with those closest to me, but it still feels uncomfortable. I love goofing off and having fun. To me, friends are people you have fun with, not talk about personal stuff with -- that personal stuff is for my head and my head only, for me to deal with, because no one can help me better than I can help myself. I consider myself a genuinely happy person and I'm always happiest when I'm with other people. My favorite thing is when I am with people, having fun, enjoying myself, looking good, and having so much fun that my true emotions are temporarily masked.
I know a lot of this might sound contradictory, so please let me know if you need more explanation. Thanks!
