I've come to think that the secondary function is where most people are at their most arrogant. In other words, where they think they are better than others, but are instead not quite as good as they think they are.

ExTP - "I'm the smartest guy in the room"
ExFP - "I'm the only one who knows what's right"
IxTJ - "I'm the only one here who can do anything right"
IxFJ - "I know what's truly best for others"
INxP - "I see the whole picture better than anyone"
ISxP - "I see the world more clearly than anyone"
ESxJ - "I'm the only one with a sense of right and wrong"
ENxJ - "I'm the only true visionary"

Maturity comes from balancing these misconceptions against life experience, and learning to recognize your own limitations in these particular areas.

What are your thoughts?

The quotes sound like they came from a bunch of delusional wackos. Or Donald Trump.

Swing and a miss.

In my case it's
" I'm the only one here who is not too afraid to make a Goddamned decision."

The aux function is a support function to the dom. In situations of the unhealthy, the support and ameliorating effects of the aux function are ignored. With this in mind, it's not the aux function that's problematic. Also, your examples don't resemble aux function statements.
