the self improvement by expanding my comfort zone is also my "growth state" in mbti as I am an INTP and like you, my secondary function is Ne.Self-improvement: Always be expanding your comfort zone. But do it within limits--don't burn yourself out by taking on too much. Just keep an eye out for little adventures that take you out of your rut. Practice the Japanese art of kaizen: Occasional small improvements in your daily life (eating smarter, getting more exercise, healthy habits, etc.) that add up to big change across a lifetime.
The flip side of the self-improvement coin: Always have one thing in your life that you really love, and spend at least 20 minutes a day on it, every single day. It can be a person, a pet, a hobby, a favorite video game, a personal project, whatever. Something that really excites you and makes you hop out of bed in the morning looking forward to that part of the day. So that no matter what else is going on in your life, you always have that pleasant sense of fun anticipation going on in the back of your mind.
These values are very Fi of me: All about improving my own life rather than helping others. But hey, you gotta put your own house in order first before you can take on the world.

Interesting points.Good point. Other personality types could register the self-improvement value as some other function (rather than a purely Fi value). They could see it as a way of exploring the world and trying new experiences, for example.
But in me, I register it as something kind of selfish, something I do for myself as a way of breaking away from the pack a bit and gaining some personal insight and advantage. Hence, I register it as an Fi thing in me personally.
About 8 years ago, a guy filmed himself berating a Chick Fil-A worker and posted it on youtube. He was angry because Chick Fil-A's owner had donated to some organization that was pro-traditional marriage. It got him fired from his $200k/year job as the CFO of some company because of all the death threats the company received. It got him fired from a second high-paying job for the same reason. In 2015 (roughly three years after the incident), he was living in a trailer and on foodstamps.
Moral of the story: You really don't want to mistreat complete strangers and you really don't want to film yourself doing it. If you have disagreements with someone, that's not an excuse or reason to mistreat that person.
he was living in a trailer...
Learning how to recognize and filter out the noise.
"Pro-traditional marriage" is a weird way of saying anti gay rights.
Marriage used to mean a relationship between members of the opposite sex.
Then THAT idea became taboo.
It means something else now. Some sort of contract maybe.
There isnt any word for a relationship between members of the opposite sex anymore. These rights are strange that involve doing such violence to the english language.
A relationship between members of the opposite sex is not taboo. It's generally encouraged by society. The term is "heterosexual relationship".Marriage used to mean a relationship between members of the opposite sex.
