A common assumption I see when people discuss F-types
Some people seem to assume that just because someone is an F-type that their internal state is all butterflies, unicorns, and sprinkles, that just because someone makes decisions more based on feeling and views the world more through the lens of their emotions that somehow this person represents a super cuddly empath with superhuman compassion for all living beings on planet Earth. There are so many F-type people out there and it is impossible for all of us to be the next Martin Luther King Jr. or Mother Theresa. Actually, being guided by emotion can be dangerous; although the best elements of emotion would condition a person to treat others lovingly and empathetically, the most sinister elements of human emotion would condition a person to treat others in dark and sadistic ways for the pure malicious joy of imposing suffering on others. If all my feelings are dark, if I feel aggrieved against the whole of humanity, and I were completely guided by my feelings, rather than by my reasoning, I would most likely seek the most creative and poetically beautiful ways to inflict my vengeance and pain upon others, feigning the empathy and kindness that others may read into me to corrupt and destroy those who think they understand me. Isn't this much more sinister than the person who is evil simply out of convenience, the person who is logically evil, the person who goes wicked because this is what benefits them in world of people who are but tools to achieve the ends of power and comfort? The irrational evil is the evil that destroys for no benefit, that is centered upon the toxic darkness of pained emotion, a crushed soul wielding its limited power to exact revenge against the world that wronged it, or worse yet, a rotten soul that purely enjoys the game of torment, the helplessness of others, the shock of betrayal, the thrill of tearing another living soul apart to shreds. So why do people seem to have this cuddly, fuzzy fantasy about F-types? What is it about feeling that is objectively good? In fact, if you try to list standard human emotions you will end up with a list of mostly negative emotions with a few positive ones sprinkled in there: happiness, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, excitement, pride, hatred, shame, love, guilt, embarrassment, calm, etc. I am an INFP if any of you are wondering. I don't feel toxic like this inside, nor do I have this inner sadistic darkness that I described, but nonetheless, I feel that a dark F-type is a real possibility, one that tends to get ignored whenever the stereotype of the cute, cuddly F-type comes up. I am not really an MBTI guru so I am just wondering why people don't seem to imagine that this is possible. If any of you have a better explanation for this, please let me know. I am just curious.
