These are the people I don't understand . . . the imposition! Is it ok to them because they would not mind being on the receiving end of it, or are they just above recognizing the sanctity of others' space (mental and physical)?
A variety of motivations.
Remember the three "relating styles" of karen Horney, absorbed into Enneagram theory?
- Moving Towards (2's, ISFJ, etc.)
- Moving Against (8's, ExTJ, etc.)
- Moving Away (5's, INTP, etc.)
Some people have a natural inclination to dominate others. It's their natural mode. They feel insecure if they are not in charge. When unsure, they'll dominate.
Other people have religious/personal beliefs where they think they're doing what is "good for the other person and/or the world" by imposing on them. (Hence all the political arguments nowadays with religious people, as an example.) They know better; therefore it is their job to protect you against yourself.
Parents and those granted authority status also impose on others as part of their position, sometimes in bad ways. Again, it's a "duty."
And of course there are those who are just purely selfish/egotistical and disregard the feelings of others. Their needs and wants are more important; and they force others to accommodate them rather than working towards a reasonable compromise.
That's the way I see it. Everyone thinks they know best (particually them dang NTs
)
I know, I'm sorry.
If we weren't so RIGHT all the time, it would be easier to back off.
I have no clue, but I do not like them
...sam I am.
