I'm mostly looking for feedback from FPs on this subject but anyone else can chime in.
I despise admitting to my core emotional weaknesses and frailties. Intellectual shortcomings I have no problem owning up to. If anything, I err on the side of humility. But the idea of confessing emotional weaknesses and defects to someone else fills me with dread. While I can admit those flaws to myself and accept that they're a part of who I am—a fundamental part even—it repulses me to consider exposing them to anyone else. Even when I want to reach out for help and reassurance and support, I can't because of an overwhelming sense of shame for having those weaknesses at all and even worse for being needy about them.
Which kind of flies in the face of the whole Fi + e4 descriptions that emphasize authenticity and living one's truth with pride ... but I kinda feel like those descriptions or the way they're written are kinda bogus and attempt to circumscribe the way we really feeeeeel.
So FPs ... HOW DO YOU FEEL? OR AM I JUST A FREAK??????
