Where the sub is working its magic in NSFM, but being left in failure is a hit to the ego. Apparently I am oblivious to social cues, as was pointed out to me. Maybe this can be addressed in 3.1, if it's not already in there.
Ah, social cue trouble. Me too.
It's really discouraging. Lol. But chin up, right?
Guess I need another brush up on body language. I'm reading a book about ENFP's. It's interesting, so far. But it wasn't written by an ENFP, and therefore I don't think it's as good as it can be, but I'm starting to understand more about how I operate, and I'm also learning that I've been holding onto shame and guilt for not fitting into a certain archetype, when my personality type just doesn't have the capability to fit into these boxes that society has for us.
At least that's empowering. I need to also develop my Si function, which is my inferior function. I bet if I perfect my inferior function, I will intuitively understand social cues.
They aren't too hard to understand (frown = bad, smile = good) but what to do about them,
especially when trying to be your own man and "not care what other people think" is where it gets complicated, at least for me.
We are told that our emotional state is our own responsibility, yet we have to tiptoe around other's because if we don't, there can be dire consequences. Not complaining, just stating a fact.
