i think all feelings are inherently selfish.
And why do you think of them the way you do?
I just think all feelings are inherently made to prolong the survival of the individual in one way or another while thinking is responsible for finding solutions which benefit everyone.
It would then be easy to assume T types as less selfish but no, the opposite holds true cause apparently when a function is first or secondary, it becomes complex and not that suited for its inherent purpose which comes better off in tertiary feelers where pure selfishness can be visible. Same way tertiary thinkers thinking comes off as pure selflessness.
I dont love humanity because im a nice person, but because i do it makes me a nice person. But alas, even that is selfish, i love humanity cause this love benefits me in my emotional health and cause others are then more cooperative to my will.
So to be true to my self, i must accept the self serving nature of all feelings. I think?
