'Destiny' by UnSun

I've been reading a book, 'The Portable Jung,' and learned a bit about introversion/extroversion and it opened my eyes on how some functions work.

With introversion, the subject (The person, you) pulls information from objects (External stuff, like ideas, people, basically any noun other than 'you') to feed their inner self.

This takes energy but they get rejuvenated when alone, since they then get to spend a lot less time having to pull information in and get to spend more time mulling on information. This causes them to be less outgoing since it takes energy to gain information from people. As a rule, people take energy unless they're close to you, then they get pulled into your little 'self' bubble. Like atoms forming bonds in a molecule.

With extroversion, it takes energy to be alone since they gain energy from gaining information. This makes them more outgoing because people give off a lot of information. Unless they're in an introverted mode. This makes Extroverts want to make an Introvert open up and give off information (People with primary Judging specifically).

A theory could be that ENFPs could gain information by looking at what their secondary Fi is saying, causing a secondary mode of information gain. They are relaxed in this situation but when a person comes along they becomes quickly sociable.

I feel like a mini BlueWing ( :violin: - :newwink: )
