So I had a conversation with an INTJ, and on the topic of ‘being with yourself’, she didn’t seem to get it. So I put up the following chunk, which admittedly blends multiple attitudes, but I think sounds similar to what this lecture discusses: “In every person, there exists a copy of yourself psychologically. When you are quiet, it will whisper things into your ears. When you are alone, it will talk about how you are unloved. When you are happy, it will say you never deserved this. Most people reject this part of themselves. They will say “You are not me!” and continue to throw everything they do not want to associate with this other self. They will ascribe all the qualities they despise to this self, and they will loathe and shun it, trying to be everything it is not. And then this other self grows from the negativity, and grows, and grows, until one day, it overpowers the person psychologically, and that is where we observe the breakdown of a person. Maybe they get some major illness. Maybe they become suicidal. Maybe they just don’t seem like themselves anymore. But in the end, if you try to throw out this other self, it will come back stronger and angrier. But if you take the time to sit and listen to it, you will begin to see that it is the wounded part of yourself, the part which was put down or damaged by its past, and it echos that which other people have been telling it, whether through your parents’ voices, your teachers’ voices, peers, loved ones. And it will be disturbing, because this is the ugliest side of yourself, the one you don’t want to face. But if you dare to listen to it, if you dare to try to comfort it as a parent to a hurt child, eventually, it will start to be better. It will start to sound more positive. It will become something you might very well want to be around. This is what it means to be with yourself, that you see your deepest darkest fears, and wants, and desires, and actions, and that you accept them, and acknowledge that yes, you are flawed, you are broken in some ways, and that’s alright. If you can help it heal, and help it grow, you will find you will be at peace with yourself, because that other self? It’s also you.”

great job with time stamping. Allowed me to go over and over again to grasp the pseudo-logic of making the deal with the devil for each type. And eradicate this 'ideas' from my toolbox of thoughts at hand. Plus remember how important it is to show appreciation, compassion, understanding when someone is vulnerable or beaten down, when they are in need of wise! support (alert: do not slip into codependancy! or into fuelling victim playing narcissist! :)

INFP - I will never forget when my work best friend, INTP, actually told me mid-conversation “no one cares what you think” - I completely shut down. Not only did it hurt me on a personal level because he’s one of my closest friends, but it definitely made me question if I wanted to ever share my thoughts on certain topics again. This is before I really even began to understand my personality type and cognitive functions. You are now arming me with some positive ways to work through the negative sides of my personality and I appreciate it!
I'm and INFP have an INFJ friend who just runs around using his Ti child on my poor Te inferior criticizing it and basically calling me stupid and literally doesn't give a shit about what I think I can understand you dude but yk just patience and basically subconscious helps it
Thats very immature.I'm intp as an intp can get I've been through hell I got stabbed 34 times I get permanent muscle damage everywhere on my body but I see I was like that before I faced the darkest realms we intps need to suffer much more than other types to understand life but when we get it usually a revolution happens
I've got an addition for an INTP going Fi Demon mode on him/herself: Ti hero concludes with unshakeable, impecable logic: I am a horrible person. Fi demon: Self destruction sequence initiated. Been doing that for the past 3 years without realizing until an INFJ pointed it out to me. Bless him.
Im an ISTP and currently living what you described. I feel horrible and worthless. Comparing my apparently shit and boring life of ISTP to the deep, authentic and interesting life of INFP sister
And it happens though what Chase said. Logical interpretation of constant Fe insecurity due to mistreatment and others rejecting the Si child from ever being comfortable and safe and feel like the INTP is doing its Ti/Fe duty to help others by giving them the truth. Si remembers, Ti makes sense of it and Fe feels useless. Ne realises everyone has the same idea of the INTP so there's no hope for change. Every single person doesn't like me and this will continue no matter what I do (Ne) because my past is full of examples despite me trying hard (Si). This makes me feel useless and without value (Fe). Therefore I must be a bad person and not loveable or worthwhile (Ti). The only option is to either accept that and live as a shell, deny it and go insane slowly, or replace Ti with demon Fi to reject Fe and Ti. This changes the paradigm Every single person doesn't like me and I don't care because they don't matter to my goals and desires (Ni) because I can do whatever I want right now (Se). This makes me feel like I can achieve anything because I know exactly what to do now and no obstacle can stop me (Te). Therefore other people are bad for making me feel useless and constantly treating me like I'm nothing (Fi)
Fi demon is so sad . It's basically if no one else cares about me I don't either . All the other rest are bout destroying the world bcz it is not accepted . INTP here Was hoping it would be something bad ass 😂😂
Fi demon isn't sad in itself. It's sad when someone has no one they care about. We hate to give attention to our feelings when it comes to making decision because they are very strong, unstable and repressed. But if someone is menacing our tribe (Fe), we will become savages. Fi demon can break any presupposed moral framework, it's also why we are a crazy open to new ideas. I'm talking murder, incest, cannibalism.. Whatever serves you.
Say it ain't so! Cannibalism? I know I go along to get along--and that is a sure sign of no moral compass, but I've always hoped that I would stop short of incest, cannibalism, murder and the like.
@@annhinz6326 I hope that you do if you so wish, even though it wouldn't affect us very much if you are an INTP you will see it as justified. Murder is the easy one to accept as it literally encompasses self-defense. For cannibalism the fact that it was practiced in ancient societies means we have it in us. If I recall incest as close to brother-sister was practiced successfully by Egyptians when the genes were purged free of mutations. Maybe you'll be surprise where our creativity can stretch to when our 4th slot Fe gets impeded. Having no one to care for is the saddest of all the topics I mentioned.
@@jonathanreave8558 I have been fortunate in my life that when my life fell apart in my younger more immature years I did have an infant son to take care of. I'm sure the responsibility of caring for him and a supportive family kept my demon at bay. Although I identify as an intp, my reaction became more of the debauchery type of behavior. Now I feed it by playing spider solitaire and quilting. But I can quit any time! Honest!
@@jonathanreave8558 I certainly agree that not caring about anyone is indeed the saddest of all. Seems to me that one would come that conclusion by concluding that no one cares for oneself which is very sad indeed. Therefore, although it's a pain in the ass much of the time, smiling at people and asking how they are doing, telling them you care, giving a positive word is so worth the time and energy fellow intps. I believe that's part of Chase's reason for doing all this. When you go out of your way to show you care, people generally care back. Maybe not who you want, but someone will.
Here's a story for you. As an INFP I was working as a computer programmer (leaning heavily on my inferior Te function). The guy who was in charge of the technical environment was a very obnoxious ESTJ who had to tell everyone exactly what to do and, of course, never listened or acknowledged that anyone else had a brain. He was constantly insulting toward me. That guy drove me straight to my demon function and I actually conjured my demon in the form of a 6'4" ISTP (INFP superego) consultant who came in and logically tore the ESTJ up and spit him out. The ESTJ was terrified. I confess I loved it. I wanted him to die a slow death really. But the lesson I gradually took from it is that I never belonged in computer programming in the first place. Working through my inferior made me way too ego involved...even though I had a talent for it. I needed to find a way to engage my Fi professionally and finally did. Ah, so much more happiness. So, in a way the ESTJ was an angel rescuing me from a misaligned profession.
I am also an INFP and have been studying software development for a couple of years... I have really been enjoying it and I get to use my NE all day long (which is exciting). What did you think was the most difficult part as an INFP and what is your profession now?
@@dylanr3875 I was working as a consultant for my state's government and all the non-productive rules really got to me. It was that, and the rapid shifts in technology that were happening at the time. I went back to what I was doing before programming which was helping people figure out who they are, and what to do with their lives.
@@johnu.9472 what job is that exactly? helping people figure out who they are. career counselor at a college? I'm very interested because I'm an INFP who is lost on what to do for a career.
I think everyone in the community is grateful for everything you have done. I would like to express my gratitude for developing my values as an infp. Your channel is no doubt one of the best source of learning i have ever found till this day.
Every of your lecture is full of wisdom, but i wonder how to attract people, how can i get others listen to those wisdom when they are not really care about this interpersonal and intrapersonal studies as much as the community does
As an ENFP, That demon function is spot on. Se Demon is a big believer in Karma, and that if bad things happen to us, we will come back at you ten times harder. If you rain destruction down upon us, we will rain destruction on everyone.
Dostoyevsky's "Crime and Punishment" is the best example of what an INTP becoming demonic looks like. Raskolnikov, the protagonist, literally isolates himself too much from humanity and invents his own morals (finds no problem with killing a person because he can logically justify why the person he ends up killing is not just useless but even counter-productive to society). Basically, instead of relying on Fe feedback, he gives himself feedback and elects himself as the most superior human being and the biggest genius, allowing himself to transgress any law. Peterson mentioned something about this too when he said that even the highest person in the hierarchy must obey the ultimate ideal (which cannot be located inside the hierarchy), and if the most superior person in the hierarchy ever kills the ultimate ideal and transgresses the ultimate law, the whole system collapses.
I don't think INTPs can value someone's life by judging someones usefulness for society. That's totalitarian "logic", highly subjective. Characteristic to xNTJs.
@@mmkkad Any type can get any conclusion. INTPs can be really utilitarian, Fe has this "greater happiness mindset to it", and utilitarianism is basically totalitarianism in the end.
I love learning about the demon function so much because (as an INFP) when I was a teen I'd get so crafty & hands on when it came to teen angst. One time I knocked a door down to save my friend from a creep. I had no idea how tiny me did it but it happened with the blink of an eye.
@@zeroangelmk1 Although I think an ISTJ makes more sense. The responsibility of the Te parent would make all the reference points and organization and Si hero would be able to remember every little thing chase says (Te could also "read" Chases Ti mind. The ENFP/ESTP subconcious and Uncouncious would make it pretty good at selling the idea, and It would also be really funny for the white board to be a SJ.
What I love about psychology is how much complex the brain is, it took me some years to figure out where my insecurity came from, and turns out it was just my brain tricking me. That's why I'm so focused on communications as I understand how simple sentence can trigger someone (and also me) without intentions, and as I've been studying typology with your channel (now it'll be almost a year yay!), everything makes much sense now! It was hard and at the same time fascinating to realize we're much of the time kind of sabotaging ourselves. But at the same time, just like you said, we have to earn that wisdom, experience difficulty in life to develop ourselves! Thank you so much for sharing so much knowledge with us! :D
im an INFJ and was stuck in my super ego for something like 4 years, it was nearly impossible to come out of it, literal fucking tear when u started talking about it, well done. wish i could like the video more than once. Rewatch timestamps :) Possession 22:05 Si demon 35:15
Hey man I just wanna say I really really appreciate the amount of effort and time you put into these videos. I've gotten so much more information through you than any other place on the web about the cognitive functions. It's really awesome to see someone put work into something they love to do because it truly shows. Thanks :)
So the pattern here is that if you keep pushing on someone in the opposite of their hero function, they'll take it for a while and they'll keep taking it and they'll keep taking it, but once they flip... Oh man, game over
There is a great film called The Monster Calls which shows this boy who summoned summoned his demon at a time of crisis but the monster teaches him wisdom and humility was able eventually to make it his Angel.
I remember the first day my Demon Function came out in full force...19 years ago...and absolutely, as an ENFJ, it was a demobilizing, to the heart, low blow that was literally delivered in under 5 seconds and left the recipient completely destroyed. I still remember that day...I was in grade 8 - the thought that such cruelty could come out of me was terrifying.
I think there are two responses with the Fi Demon. One being the person in the basement with video games lol, because they decided ‘since I’m never getting recognized or appreciated for all my work then there’s no point in doing anything at all’ which is self-destructive of course. Although, I’ve realized with my ESFJ mother who constantly attacked my Inferior “You don’t care about anyone; you don’t feel anything” and disregards all the care I already give to my siblings when she’s not home, that activates the Demon. The Hero tries to protect the Inferior with the logic and “I do X, Y, and Z so she’s wrong. I obviously care about people.” Not sure how my parent tries to defend or protect, but my Child can’t do much because she also attacks it by saying I’m disloyal and such. So the Inferior goes to the Demon for help. Similar reaction with another INTP I know, it’s where the Demon forces out of its cage because it’s been contained so long with how the INTP has been ignoring their emotions and trying to push the issue away. It’s like “Well, I’m gonna feel now, and you’re gonna feel my wrath!” It tends to want to break out of the cage the most when you threaten the source of where they input their care. For example, a sibling in my case. It’s this uncontrollable output of emotion full of hatred and rage towards the person, essentially for them being a bad person. I saw another comment with this concept and it fits more with the other Demons and how they portray in the other types. This is just what makes sense in my head. I’m very open to feedback.
Isfp here. I have similar experiences. But not that way exactly. When I tried to use my fe nemesis I was shut down by my esfj mother and she attacked me Te inferior telling me that I care only about myself and that I'm selfish. That upset me so I didn't care anymore about trying to be more selfless and I started being more distant with her and cold but I still had in my mind that I had to be more selfless. But the thing is that Everytime I tried to be selfless, real and honest, she always accused me of being selsifh, and a liar. Yeah after that I never ever cared about lying or being a brat that much. Thank god she is better now but that still haunts me to be honest.
INTP here. At first I thought that reaching the demon function would be the crazy lash out moments. One way that I've interpreted it is that it's more of a "sin" function, making other functions behave negatively. The demon would be the unconscious, the side of our mind we go to when all hope is lost. Or at least that way it was kinda easier for me to understand, I know that's not the terminology but it kinda helped me.
42:55 - C.S. Joseph...actually roles up his sleeves confronting his own Se Demon, epic. - this lecture needs to be listened to and watched multiple times, it’s life changing.
ENTJ here - I was using my ESFJ SuperEgo in a good way for 2 weeks (literaly Ego and SuperEgo were working together) I had so much energy I could work for 16 hours a day and sleep only for 4,5 hours. I made myself to do routine things and was like this for 2 weeks - getting so much shit done I had spare time for so many other things it was insane - but than the coronavirus came, and the lockdown with it too. With that came ESFJ's Fe hero - I was asking other people how they feel about this situation and than I devalued my own feelings (Fi nemessis) and forgot about my Ni (literry forgot, that all the duty and routine I made for myself was for the university studies, and work and generaly improving my life - i forgot about that because this duty and routine literally became my purpuse. It was good for me for these 2 weeks I was able to use that, but with the coronavirus lockdowns? This configuration of my mind wasn't adaptable for changes. And if that is how every ESFJ and ESTJ feel in those sitations I do not envy them. Like you said. It is really hard to use Demon in a good way and If you do, don't let it take control over you, don't forget about yourself.
Typing of Heath Ledger's Joker as ENTp's ESFp superego is brilliant. He always seemed like an ENTP pretending to be an ESFP, but I knew there had to be a deeper reason for why he chose that specific get-up.
@The Box Try watching his "How to personality type anyone" and "What is the temperament Matrix" videos. With fictional characters it's tricky when compared to real people because the writers probably aren't familiar with Jungian psychology + there could be writing inconsistencies/bad writing etc.
The thing u mentioned about the super ego tryin to replace the real ego is interesting. Many movies, art, novels make use of similar themes. Eg. The reflection tryin to become the person by pulling the person in to the mirror world and the shadow reflection entity behind the mirror takes charge of the real world by coming out of the mirror stepping into physical reality, Dr jekyll Hyde, the monster within etc. etc. Wow its sooo amazing the connections, the archetypes, the collective consciousness its just amazing this web
I cried watching the ENTP part My dad's a ENTP and it's very accurate. I can't relate to Fi demon still. Reason I watched this video was because my inferior function is somehow only surface level when dealing with people, and, someone noticed my Fi monologue, so she concluded i must be an ISFP. I went to check ISFPs quality, nothing matched. But at the time she noticed that Fi monologue, i was in a deep distress. I am not sure, but when I am super stressed, I tend to find something that can distract my mind completely from the problem, if after expressing it doesn't yield any effective results. I may or may not express whatever is bothering my mind. Depends on who I'm dealing with. Last year, I resorted to collecting fonts and other graphics. I was so obsessed about it. It was after ending a 7 year relationship. And i found digital art soothed my mind that I was addicted to it for months until someone new came. Can't say if what I did was destructive or something, but it did affect my work and productivity. Or, there was a time when I was bullied, on the top of my stress, I resorted to hurt the bullies's loved ones. I'm typed as a INTP. But I'm not sure anymore if I am a INTP. Tbh.
34:45 can confirm this was exactly what happened when I (INTP) broke up with my ISTP ex, promiscuous and wreckless behavior on his part, and binging on youtube videos and sitcom reruns on my part. A month later, he popped into a little diner I frequent (ISTP stalking obvious). He looked scrawny and lifeless. And I looked just as awful. It's like we both forgot to eat.
That rant starting after the 1 hour mark where you talk about healing fatherlessness... that made me fall in love with your soul (not anything romantic) but it was powerful and I felt that. I wish all world leaders would watch this video. I mean I could forward it to them, but they would never watch it or even get it.
super ego is wrath, blind and self justified and it knows no limit. help ! I really like your lectures, they make me think deeper then I usualy feel confortable to, and I learn things and remamber things I forced myself to forget.
What have you said about wisdom remembered me of this quranic verse which is translated from Arabic to English here " He gives wisdom to whom He wills, and whoever has been given wisdom has certainly been given much good. And none will remember except those of understanding "
Man, your content just keeps getting better and better. For a long time I have been looking for answers and I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel last year. Now I have more of an idea of how to improve myself and I understand others a bit better. Keep up the awesome work, and I look forward to watching future and past videos.
Two questions: Does Ti demon cause evil/distressing thoughts in IxFPs? Like, intrusive thoughts about doing something bad that distresses the "perfection" perception/values of Fi? Can being friends with someone who has your demon function as their hero function (INTP and INFP for a personal example) help you conquer your own demon function?
My ISFP demon function is Ti. I am really uncomfortable with Ti heroes. I feel they lack empathy and it scares me. They find me irrational, incomprehensible. I don't think we learn from each other. More like watch each other warily.
@@TK-kf8zc if they care about working on their Fe inferior, however, I think ISFPs and IXTPs can get along quite well! I'm a Te-focused INFP (I try my best to stay open-minded and not get offended easily) and that makes it much easier to gel with ISTPs. It's actually easier for me to get along with ISTPs more than INTPs, so perhaps as ISFP you can try chatting with INTPs online? especially the friendly, harmless ones. ISFPs are awesome people!!!
@@Moodboard39 I feel incompetent quite frequently and get overwhelmed easily getting things done. I also have a lot of trouble conforming and flowing for the sake of the group. I'm not easily compliant to the group's wishes in favor of what I individually think or feel. In this aspect I feel very similarly to IXTPs cuz they operate very much the same. However, instead of being stubborn logically and thinking "Ugh everyone's dumb", people think of me as too sensitive and stubborn with not letting a feeling go for the sake of things working more efficiently. I feel my emotions intensely so it's really not something easy for me to brush off or put a raincheck on to process later; the emotion is often dealt with and felt immediately, right there and then. I am simply hyperaware of the nuance of my emotions and can empathize with others even before they know it sometimes. Being Ne-user too it seems I come off nonsensical and harebrained as well so it's kinda really hard to be respected/understood. I'm sure for ISFPs it's a similar story, they might be misunderstood simply because they don't know what words to describe their emotions despite feeling just as intensely whereas I have too many words and not enough coherence, so it confuses and overwhelms people. Te-inferior sometimes feels like I have no idea wtf I'm doing or that I know exactly what's going on but no one else seems to care or give me the time of day because I lack assertiveness/command of the group. So in the end I feel like an outsider either way :/ I'm at odds with everyone, I guess you can say. However, I'm sure a lot of IXXPs feel this way just in different flavors
I graduated from my college on December 2019. I was paranoid and filled with hipocrisy. I was very unstable and I didn't know anything about anything,I didn't know who I am. On April 2020 I saw you,I started watching your lectures. You changed my life sir. I am more happy now, now I know I'm just a man with flaws. Now I'm starting to know something about something and It's all because of you. You're dreams will come true sir, you will change the world. Thank you sir❤️ Thank you so much 🙏
I often get the desire to get revenge when I'm betrayed or treated badly, I almost feel murderous and want to destroy the world in the process of revenge but I keep my morals in place and keep reminders of it from the cross I wear around my neck. Metaphorically speaking its like keeping my metaphorical werewolf form in containment.
This is my favorite lecture of yours till date. I really cannot emphasize how underrated you are. I swear if we didn't have RU-vid in this age, you would be the most successful philosopher. Not even exaggerating.
With my Ne demon, I could see all possible ways of how I could murder someone. With my Se hero, I knew where all security cameras and guards were. My pessimistic Ti parent ticked off the ones which were impossible to do. It felt like eagle vision from assassins creed when I look back at it.
Thank you once again for this video. I coming back to them from time to time. Wish you all the best and don't forget people about these teachings. Greetings from Poland.
I absolutely love how passionate you get while you explain each aspect of your lectures. The more I watch your videos, the more invested I become in your content.
Hi. Im not sure if you'll see this but just wanted to come into the comments to say thank you very much for all the effort and care you put into your lectures. You're helping me, along with so many others become the best version of ourselves and really understanding and accepting of who we are. Thanks a bunch!!! Only 15 minutes in but had the urge to thank.
I do feel the Se demon. When someone is really unfriendly or plain mean to me I dream about attacking them.. It's ugly and I hate myself for it. I haven't physically attacked anyone since elementary school. Maybe hurt or kept them from fighting but never injured anyone with intention. I do try to entertain people with jokes, like I don't care if they are really funny but if they respond well to my humor I like them. If I like you I'll laugh at your joke just to make you feel good. But I think that's more te -fi caring about people's opinion.
Just finished watching the end of this. It actually made me cry, I really admire what you are trying to do. And I have listened - I'm going to use what I've learned. Work hard on developing my ENTJ subconcious to begin with, delay gratification, and accept any suffering that comes with it. It might not be the easy path but it is the meaningful one and the route to true fulfilment. I know I might not always succeed every single time (we are all flawed human beings) but at least every day I can make an effort. And hopefully I can help others with their inferior functions (amd trickster) along the way. Realised this channel isn't just about personality theory it is about trying to change the world for the better using that as a tool. Grateful
@37:42 Regarding the ISFJ demon, I think it is essential to make a couple of distinctions although I can only speak on behalf of myself. I agree that the ISFJ demon versus ISFJ subconscious is probably infrequent in terms of how many times it is invoked. First, as for me, it does take plenty of things to upset me given that I am not as sensitive as other people when it comes to most things -- although I do have my "buttons". However, ISFJ demon mode is not something that I try to invoke for the simple fact that a) it is like the point of no return was the line has already been crossed and 2) it is very energy intensive and hence, draining. To be more specific, it can be as much physically draining as it is emotionally draining. Because of this, I usually have either walked- away, developed contingency plans to limit other people's power, or just removed myself from toxic people. People often think such actions are weak. However, I have found that where some speak from the mindset of pride and ego, I speak from the mindset of someone who knows that I do, can, and has had that kind of rage inside. The only difference is that now that I am older (or at least in the past 10-15 years), I have managed to cultivate a laser-sharp tongue. So, essentially (as an older INTJ) I find that by giving select disrespectful people a "taste" up front, I can usually avoid going demon mode. Whether that is ESFP subconscious or border ISFJ superego, I guess depends on how deep the remarks go. Thankfully, I don't have to go there very often -- but I find that doing so at least keeps me from acting out on others not responsible. Moreover, while ISFJ in demon mode is probably usually geared towards an individual, it can be geared towards groups of individuals --usually towards door slamming, removing support, or a combination of both. I find that usually when you don't crave recognition, people are oblivious to the value that you provide --especially when it comes to planning or providing info. Hence, letting others fail by their own merits is sometimes far more effective than planning it yourself. Lastly, in terms of loyalty, to me, it means several things. First, it means not getting in the way of goals, objectives, and/or purpose. Without a purpose, life has no meaning to me. Yet, I don't feel that some people respect this b/c it is all about living to a particular script. Disloyalty also means being set up to fail and not being given the space to decompress. While the former may be due to performance anxiety, and reputation (given snap judgments), the latter is due to the understanding that there is only so much energy to give to so many people at a time.
Joseph, your lectures helped me get out of my rut and understand myself better. After listening to your lectures, everything about my past behaviours made sense. It was an eye opening moment. Thus, I have decided to learn about the rest of the cognitive functions so I can share them with others. I'm an INTJ by the way, thank you.
I didnt understand you at first and disagreed with a lot but now I see a lot of wisdom in your videos. This one especially. Its actually super cool that I have Ti demon as an INFP because it means that if I can learn to do what is meaningful and hard I can become this person who not only is wise and logical but also is really good at teaching that wisdom. If I can stop seeking to control the thoughts of others out of fear that theyll think badly of me or that Im wrong or just impatience. I can actually learn from their thoughts (even if theyre wrong) and use my ability to manage thoughts to teach instead of control. Wow how epic!! Thanks for such great insights.
I noticed In the fitness industry a lot of people are focusing on doing the expedient and taking the easy way out by taking steroid and doing all kinds of surgeries when they should do what's meaningful by working hard and eating healthy and gaining that mental toughness and that self discipline or will power in the process !
i am very grateful for this series, as i think understanding the shadow functions is equally important to understanding the ego functions. we cannot fully understand other people without both
I Agree 99.9% that Naruto is an Infj. Thanks that You Point It Out CSJ 👍👌. I've watched this video until the end. Thank, God, Thank U Very Much For This Another Super Valuable Video.
I've been watching CS for awhile now, and learning a ton! Very helpful subject to learn as a whole. I'm very grateful to stumble upon this channel. This video has been the best so far. Showing the importance of knowing and treating someones inferior self with respect to build them and yourself to better ones life, and life as a whole is exactly the responsibility we each need to seek out and practice everyday with everyone at everytime.
Thank you, CS Joseph. A big WOW for me. I just learned the deeper analysis of the functions today, no longer stay on the surface and use the E vs I, N vs S, T vs F, and J vs P. I learned the functions of mine and their importance, pros and cons. This is a huge life advice. No longer a psychological test level, but it is a complete life inspiration. I just cannot pretend I didn't listen to your wise words. Super reflective. Personality type is actually teaching me how to live a meaningful life. This is such a hidden gem.
Find yourself a teacher who would use anime as illustrations 🤩 Thanks for making a video on this one and for helping us understand this (and ourselves) better. You're great at this 👍
I don't know why but everytime you say something along the lines of "If you haven't ... then you probably should" and make that face it cracks me up in the best way. I just love the way you say that.
(ENFJ) Since I got into this matter, specifically into your lectures, I can remember myself getting there once. Violently shutting up someone who I felt was ignoring my thoughts. Luckily, I realized where I was going and shut up myself before causing harm. I can also recall myself in the past frequently being in enviroments where I was, or at least felt (speaking retroactively analyzing), sorrounded by STPs, whom I mostly engaged with from the INFP shadow, not so rarely on the brink to snapping into ESTJ superego. But I think I never went that far, I always had enough self control. And it probably led to none of them going NFP superego in return, which I should be glad about.
@C.S. Joseph. I'm absolutely loving this season. Day by day in every way I'm getting better and better and better at this and the journey is as fun as reaching the enlightenment destination. This is by far your best work so far and I can't wait to actually get to the temperaments so I can confirm my type. Initially I thought I was an ENTJ then an INTJ but my girlfriend without a doubt is an INTP. These are helping so much to understand her and grow our relationship. So happy to have found you my friend and looking forward to seeing this channel grow but you are definitely part of my daily routine and will be forever. I have no doubt you'll be able to change the world with what you're doing. You've created an incredible community that is growing every day. So much respect sent your way and can't wait to see what other videos you produce as I'm only scratching the surface in learning this stuff!
INTP female here - You had me weeping like a child through this video. I understand. I understand what I must -what I should- do. Thank you for caring, for your time and energy, for your sharing. It is a gift to the world, truly. I started watching you years ago when you started this channel, but at some point I became distracted and stopped, while keeping what I had learned in the back of my mind and continued to vet it through my internal framework by observing and analyzing myself and others. I have been able to apply most of what I have learned from you to correctly understand myself, and others, and take appropriate actions. Some compound traumatic events over the last 1.5 years have had my internal state of mind in upheaval and long story short, a month ago, I came back to you, and I began to re-watch what I had already. It’s as though I suddenly stopped falling and met the ground standing up. Somehow I had missed this season. This was everything I needed. Someday I hope I can come back and explain to you exactly what happened. Thank you.
Been binging on your videos for a few weeks now, slowly getting used to the rants and how intense your presentation is. My main takeaway, however odd, is that you helped me a lot in shaping and getting to know the characters in my book, and figuring out how to make them consistent. I love how passionate you are about this project and how much detailed information you're giving us. Keep up the awesome work!
This was great. I had a spiritual Crisis this weekend when my baptist GF (ENFP) had me (INFJ), a catholic, go to Her church. This spiritual lecture was exactly what I needed. Thank you! I will try to develop my demon Si somehow.
Fe demon exists in both my parents, ESTJ mum and ENTJ dad. Wasn't easy growing up as an INFJ. This clears things up, now I just gotta find ways of making them feel better and that will help my cause.
Useful, helpful, educational, meaningful and enlightening...thank you! Time flies when you’re teaching! I can’t wait to catch up and take part of what you’re doing now...grateful for you 🙏🏼
I’m not one to comment on RU-vid videos (as in, I’ve NEVER done it) but this was SO fantastic, I had to make this my first comment to tell you -I’m in my living room giving you a standing ovation. 👏🏻
It’s scary how true this is in regards of me being ENTJ, I get sometimes pushed to the point of destruction like full on demon mode I want to destroy everything whether emotionally or physically! Either I would become destructive or become heavily selfish and ultra goal oriented in a form of revenge (although some people applaud me for it)
I am ISTJ... what you explained is exactly what I'm going through right now (your description is spot-on), and I appreciate having a deeper understanding, thank you. Something specific happened, and I felt myself snap - that would've been when the demon took over.
I’ve been waiting for this! Thank you so much I Finally will understand the demon function as an unhealthy INFJ with bipolar I always fall in the demon grip
Same with me, just slam the door and life goes on. Lol. Or maybe what we've experienced is not bitter enough to wake the demon inside us? INTJ here by the way.
@@WeisSchwarz Oh I've experienced some horrible stuff. A psychopath ex that used me to meet ends then chewed me out. I just closed the door and never looked back. Enfp by the way
