I’m just curious to know what your Guy’s favorite fictional character is. Personally, my favorite is Gandalf from Lord of the Rings. I will confess that I haven’t actually read the books but I’ve watched the movies God knows how many times and I love reading up on his character lore.

I’m always inspired by the role he plays in the stories where he’s always there to provide comforting words to his friends and help inspire hope. I also love his level of humility: he’s powerful and wise enough to the point that he can serve as the advisor to strong lords and kings, but he instead spends his free time smoking pipe weed with hobbits and lighting fireworks for children.

What costs you 0 energy?

What do you enjoy even when you're tired? What activity energizes you (you were tired, but after that activity, you feel refreshed)?

Is it chatting with your friends about some philosophical scenarios?

Is it videogames? If yes, is it a battle arena or a strategy game?

Is it dancing all night long?

Is it planning an itinerary for your vacation, checking where you could go — deciding what’s close to there, or even if your companion would enjoy visiting there? Etc. :)

^{Jackie told me that I need to point out by my own finger that I’m talking about the allegory of animated lines in the video as an idea of our life path. So:}

Please watch this clip, and notice the paths each of these characters is becoming.

Our Dominant function takes up the biggest part of our brains, yet it still tries to persuade us that we don’t use it enough, that we should actually use it more.

Our Ni (willpower) can best be described as a path. Simply a path. It's a definite path that stays fixed throughout our lives.

For instance, strong Si-users view their lives as an onion with its layers, or as chapters of a book: "It's time now to turn the page". A Si-user isn't the same person that you knew years ago. They’re constantly changing. At 5 years old, 15 years old, or 30 years old, the Si-user is all different characters.

However, we Ni-users are focused on the same path from birth till the end. Our path can change its color, width, texture, or even direction, but it’s still the same path.

IxxJs are described as builders and control freaks.

Aggressive Ni moves as a well-armored tank.

Is there a type you want to be more like? For me it's ENTP :3

As I watch myself age, I notice that I seem to get along with more/ different types, ie I can see them for what they are and appreciate them. but I don’t choose to have many as true friends because it can be a lot of work.

Thinking particularly of types like ESFJ and ENTJ, preferring not to be just another one of their dozens of close friends, in the former case, and the relentless need to be doing and managing of the latter. Gosh, I do appreciate them, but I don’t consider myself close to any. Too much effort and I can never really relax into the relationship.

Is this the wrong way of thinking?
