So, four layers. The top layer -- the toughest, most resilient, and most dominant part of everyone -- is what you use automatically in day to day life. It is the big thick onion piece that doesn't come off unless you mutilate it. Whatever these functions are, you've developed them without thinking, and perceive most information you get through their filter. Up front, I have extroverted intuition / introverted thinking. This means I read people well on the surface, and usually accurately, but then overthink what I've just seen when I go to process it. I spend a lot of time lost in my head, despite being a technical extrovert. Other people are the opposite: they love being around people because they like the sensation of it, yet don't understand them at all Neogen Korea.

The next layer hides behind that front layer, and these traits are where we are weakest. To figure this out, you flip the 'function', but not the orientation. Extroverted intuition's weakness is extroverted sensing: for how well you can read people, you are overwhelmingly annoyed by almost everything tedious in your surroundings, and are more sensitive than others to the stimuli that other people (who might very sense-oriented) screen out. It makes no sense. Why does a very outwardly social person who likes people hear the horrifying chewing sounds people make on the train at 4x their maximum possible volume? Why does a very thoughtful person  sometimes get gripped with an overwhelming urge to stare at the wall and think about senseless, irrational shit that makes you sad ON PURPOSE? Why does clammy weather make strongly intuitive people feel like we need to unzip our skin suits and crawl out of existence?  Because people are only good at regulating and articulating the functions they actually use, and the rest are a goddamn mess otterbox review.

One layer deeper, there's no weakness at all: it's just pure vacancy. With extroverted intuition / introverted thought, here is the true inversion, where you flip everything: extroverted feeling, which means I can't process displays of emotion by others; but also introverted sensing, which at this level determines if you are a closeted hypochondriac who misreads your bodily signals as something they aren't. If you find yourself very emotional around people but feel void when alone, this is why. If you're otherwise ok at understanding how you feel but can't assign logic to them when someone asks how you feel about them, this is why. When a huge gulfs form in a relationship, it's because of this layer: whatever is down here, you don't understand it, and when confronted with it, your default is to go blank. Someone who needs you in an area where you're vacant will be incredibly let down when they realize you can't operate that way. This layer is buried for a reason storage cubes.
