[SJ] Does it suck being an SJ?

[Orangey]

but I chiseled it in stone already

Fuck it. We'll just roll with it, then.

...I wont remember it past this thread though

And I will never use it, so it's all good.

I'd fucking LOVE to be an SJ, are you kidding me?? I have the hardest time with Si, and the devil is in the damn details.

you raise a good point. whomever came up with that quote was probably and N wondering "why the hell can't I get anything done?!"

I'm not proud of it, but when I saw your thread title I hoped the SJs and their simpaticos had chewed you alive and spat out the bones.

I see now that they handled it in a much more dignified manner than I would've. Bravo forumites, I defer to your wisdom in the face of <insert impolite commentary> posting.

yeah... the SPs were much less polite about it

 

[Chiharu]

Maybe it's because I'm an ENFP... but I see this as a perfectly polite, valid question. I don't see what everyone's going on about...

I know a lot of SJs, and my whole theory is that it must suck to be Se or Si dom where Ne or Ni would be more useful, and vice versa.

Other types always see something about types they're not a member of as "sucking" because they don't like to operate that way. However, I also recognize that sometimes being an NF sucks (everyone inevitably hurts your feelings, no one seems to understand you, and if you do feel depressed there's a nasty little voice in your head informing you that everyone thinks you're pathetic). I've heard other types say that sometimes being an XX sucks, and the reasons they give usually aren't the ones I would have expected.

I would think that it would suck to be an SJ because they get a lot of crap about being boring, and it's usually not true.

no offense chiharu i like you but i'm ENFP and i definitely found the question offensive and inappropriate. just to be clear it's not a type thing :/

there's nothing wrong with the idea behind the question but the wording is very rude and misconstrues intent, imo.

What's the trip over "wording" lately on TypoC? Bottom line, the question's the same. You can call it poop, feces or caca - but it ultimately means shit.

How you say.....it's not what you say but how you say it?

Yeah you can look at it in the bigger sense - a more universal application- but consider the sender.

 

[Giggly]

It doesn't suck in real life. It only sucks on this forum.

I'm late to the party, but I'll join the fray. If you can't tell right away why this is an incredibly asinine question, well, you need to hit the psychology books a little harder.

It would only suck relative to your own perspective, Elfboy. That's because your perspective is that of an intuitive. Furthermore, you generally have only negative experiences with Si. If you were an xxSJ, your experience of the world would be radically shifted. You would probably ask if being an xxNP sucks, what, with not being able to keep your shit together and all.

There literally is no way to qualitatively compare the experiences of two people with their perceiving functions as the determining factor. It's as absurd as saying "it must suck being a native Japanese person, because I don't speak Japanese."

yep. OP himself pointed out the trip:

I used acontroversial thread title because I thought it would get more views, but it ended up just being confusing and obscuring the main point of the thread

bottom line is language is more than denotation.

and it frustrates me when things i don't relate to at all get attributed to my type. i want to prevent misperceptions.

 

[Anew Leaf]

And the voice of reason has arrived.

I thought it was stupid/offensive because it was just one of a million similar started threads by the same OP. Maybe more introspection and less naval gazing. Or more bunnies. Or glitter. Or galaxies.

It is impossible to imagine what it would be like to have a different dom/aux perceiving function. That's sort of the whole point.
