Hi, I’m a 33 y-o INTP, queer lesbian & non-binary. I’ve been listening to your podcasts for a while now. About the gender influence in teenage years, I would have to agree that the pressure and opportunities to engage with the outside world were VERY gendered in my experience. Which is why I had to wait adulthood to find out other paths for myself. But I feel I need to add that gender norms and gender expectations are VERY socially determined, and that the hormones/biological explanation is not sufficient. I believe biological explanations should never be used without social ones, at the risk of excluding, misrepresentating, justifying lgbtqphobia or other misconceptions about gender “abnormalities”. Thanks for the wonderful work by the way. Couldn’t have done it this far without your tools ?
I have been thinking about how the cognitive functions are formed ever since the episode on self-awareness.
I have come to the conclusion they are all survival mechanisms.
example.
FI Repressed emotion.
SI No surprises. I cannot think how to put that better.
NI Tell nobody nothing.
TI Rationalise everything.
The extroversion is the opposite. My question is why it happens and how young? I think the functions are so apparent because they are just are brains way of surviving in the environment and i think they are formed by the time our brain is fully formed. Obviously as we get older we wont see it like this they grow with us the self.
I also think I have a way of typing people faster. I also thought you could not grow your shadow introversion obviously you can.
I don’t even know where to start. I really loved this episode! I’m 32 years old and a female ENTP. As I was listening, I realized that my jokes about feeling older than dirt might have some substance.
For context, when I was around 22 I experienced trauma that caused some major PTSD and clinical depression which also messed with my actual immune system. Other than the first 4 months were I needed the mental stabilization, I decided to heal my mind by myself without any antidepressants because they weren’t addressing the root of the problem. I was sick for about 5 years, but it took longer for me to interact again with the outside in a relatively normal way, though I’ve never gone back to the way it used to be.
I’ve done a lot of research in the few months I’ve been aware of cognitives functions, I’m still relatively new. So I don’t know if any of the work I did as I was healing would be comparable to what shadow work is like, but I got that impression from what I’ve heard. I wouldn’t wanna to go back to that time but I’m a firm believer in silver linings and that was a major one in my life. I could complain about loosing out on my 20s but I don’t feel the loss, I can only see the gain of peace of mind in knowing oneself that deeply, the good & the bad.
Maybe I’m delusional ?, but I do get the feeling that people my age and even some that are older are struggling with things, emotionally speaking that I’ve already encountered. It could be individual differences, or just a lot of trauma exploration experience packed in short amount of time, who knows? Also all those midlife body aches, I started feeling them in my early 20s, then they went away for a bit. Along with very much being aware of my mortality, I at least now know some of what’s waiting for me down the line and it removes the fear factor.
