Using their cult leader like influence, apocalyptic senses, would it be logical to assume that they would have an easy time creating a scapegoat?

Even though I share some common interests with most people, as my range of interests is quite wide, I still find myself unable to relate to them and their struggles.

To be frank, I'm an arrogant person, but I'm not ignorant, I still try. I dislike pretentious people, I want and cherish community, but I don't feel like there's anything of the sort in the modern world. Everyone is on social media or busy with random endeavours.

I'm not interested in food, talking about sex all the time, the gym. Those are needs, not what generates meaning.

Obviously, I struggle tremendously with women. I don't feel much need for sex for the sake of it, even though I did, and could get it.

For the last note, I'm not a self-absorbed person. I like hearing about the interests of others as much, if not more, than talking about my own.

I just find myself preferring to drink beers and reading books than meet any of the people in my circle. Perhaps asking reddit is a faulty move when it comes to social matters.

Essentially, doesn't believe in religious customs as they are, but still perform some of them because he believes that they provide structure and cultural connection. Also, appears pro religion to the public because he believes that it's the answer to many problems "common people" face. Those who don't have the curiosity to pursue truth must accept it instead of drifting into nihilism and atheism.

In the prophets name, he is an iconic represention. Hamlet isn't even an EIE, arguably.

Every first game into the day, I make a foolish blunder or overlook because I'm not in the flow. Solving puzzles beforehand helps a little, but are there more effective ways and is it normal?

I used to be on Vyvanse for around half a year. At first, it felt like it's changing my life, but tolerance ramped up quickly.

Nowadays, I use it once every two weeks, even less. Still, the effect is nothing like the first time, no matter how long the breaks are. I do feel more productive, just not to the same extent.

Another Gulenko EIE victim.

After a few days of regular caffeine use, my mood becomes a wreck, I have no energy, I barely wake up. I only drink a cup or two of coffee a day for strength performance, as it makes my cognition worse and gives me brain fog.

Is it common?

I'm 22, 6'3, well-above average when it comes to education, quite athletic, I'm not a virgin. I have a clear direction for my life, I can't complain about money even though I'm not rich either. I'm supposed to feel pretty good, no? No.

​

I feel like my life hasn't even started yet. I read and study a lot, I a decent social circle, but nothing gives me that satisfaction for more than a moment. I wonder about the next thing until it comes. Everyone my age is on their phone, it feels like the mystery in life is completely gone. Dating is a game now, sports is a competition, everything is numbers.

​

I used to be very much into storytelling as a kid and teenager, but where is it? Where are those glorious stories, great romances, the tiny bit of magic, even a simple story has. There is none. I just want to feel like my life is an adventure, not to go to a new restaurant to pretend their food is any better than the mediocre from the previous. Not numb my mind with video games, scrolling, sex, and drugs. Is that all there is for me on this earth? I want to be a hero.

​

Life is just mundane, mind bogglingly empty. I know I'm not doing it wrong, I've tried every trick in the book. Psychedelics, different roles, different people, the result is always boredom. The only moments I truly felt alive were when I immersed myself deeply in a character from fiction. Fiction is just an escape, not a solution.

​

Does it ever get better than this?

I still want to do some things this weekend, but I'm just quitting a cycle of zyn. Is it bad for recovery to take vyvanse if I was on the zyns for just a week?

The one who never faces the consequences and remains close to people even after betraying or hurting them. Always finds a way to explain himself, present it in a noble way.

For example, LSI and EIE both share a strong sense of justice and order, maintenance of societal hierarchy.

LIE and ESI are sort of traditional "American dream" power couple, all about class mobility.

I would like to see more inputs into this.

Mobilising and role are hard to grasp for me compared to other functions. I'm studying Socionics for over a year now, but I still feel like I don't truly "understand" them. I don't get how strong they're actually supposed to be compared to the others.

-extreme restlessness, desire to pursue goals.

-inability to stop to enjoy the moment, a sense of urgency.

-extreme emphasis on self-control, so, even being with friends turns into a mission with an agenda

Whether I achieve a goal, outperform an opponent, come closer to mastery, the true feeling of satisfaction is fleeting. Quickly, it gets replaced by an urgency to leap farther. To be more.

Nothing really makes me feel satisfied in my day to day life. I always sort of want the next day to come faster, the next thing. I almost feel a desire to achieve death as fast as I can to beat the game. I don't know how to enjoy the moment at all.

The dual perception of EIE in the socionics circle is one of a hysterical, rapid mood cycling "struggling artist", while the other characterization is that of a very emotionally calculated individual.

The more I read into the base, the more Fe base being calculated rather than the chaotic emotional mess makes sense. The issue is that many people, including some classic authors, still describe EIE being that way.

I think SEE is another type struggling from a similar mischaracterization.

I find the mood swing stereotype perhaps closer to Fe creative paired with valued Se, such as IEI. Much more experimental and free displays of emotions. Fe base would have a higher standard, maintain a persona rigidly. Also, them being Ti valuing rational type makes them more duty oriented.

I'm in great shape, on the right track, and more successful with women than most guys my age.

Still, for most of the day, I feel anxious obsessing over trying to outperform others. How to beat them. Losing a simple game of chess to a friend can ruin my mood for hours. I can't even think about anything other than being more impressive and powerful than other people. I compare myself to the best people in their field.

"Just focus on yourself, don't compare yourself to others" - I can't, I need to win. Nothing else has any meaning to me. I have no desires of my own. If I had no one to outperform, I'd cease to exist.

I had a big exam, so I took 100mg Modafinil at 7:40 am. after a decent meal. The exam went okay, but right after, around 3 p.m., I felt very anehedonic and drained. Usually, I feel a sense of relief after exams.

I was in bad by 6 pm. I felt so drained, I didn't want to do anything, even scrolling. I still felt strong wakefulness but somehow fell asleep in 10 minutes.

I always feel a strong energy crash by the evening, but on Modafinil? Should I be concerned? I don't have narcolepsy or anything of that sort.

Someone who's obsessed with having control over others. Trying to dictate their morality, who they're supposed to be attracted to(sounds a bit like Fi ignoring), feeling bad about not being the center of attention(attention is Fe but taking up space would be Se). Overall, very secretly authoritarian personality.

Since after puberty, I started feeling less and less. Emotions became mechanical, something I would intentionally cause in order to create the correct impression or to be more productive.

I no longer feel any pull to make people feel a certain way, because after enough exposure I can predict their reactions with near-perfect accuracy.

All I care about now is reaching my goals as fast as possible. Nothing else matters.

I even use supplements and stimulants to manage my lows and highs better, giving me more control.

Everything else is just... Cringe.

I'm 22 now, and I can't wait to get a degree and work 24/7. Work is all that matters to me now. I feel hollow without it.
