I wonder, just out of curiousity, if anyone believes there's a link to people with cyclothymia or bipolar II weaving in and out of introverted and extroverted loops, like introverted loops during depression, and extroverted loops during mania.
The reason why I say this is because there are different forms of bipolar disorder, and some of them don't involve hallucinations or losing touch with reality, they're primarily mood and activity related...and not everyone behaves the same. Like some people are more "happy" in mania (Ne/Fe?) and some people are more angry (Te/Se?)...I have wondered for a while if the way some people experience mania varies due to personality type.
I'm not saying that being in an introverted loop (or an extroverted loop) means you have bipolar disorder, but that people who ACTUALLY DO have bipolar disorder will tend to fluctuate to imbalanced loops according to their own function order.
Because a balanced person is balanced.
