PREVIOUS: Dom/Aux #1

 

 

The AUXILIARY can be considered a bridge function that connects DOM with the lower half of the Stack (Tert & Inf ), which represents a more sustainable path to the expansion & integration of one’s type.
In most cases, trying to integrate Dom & Inferior without the help of AUX creates an either-or / tug-of-war energy, rather than a symbiotic one. This is because the psychological gulf may be too great without the 2nd & 3rd functions providing additional personality characteristics.

Also, AUX gives needed Extroversion energy for the Introvert, & provides an Introverted opportunity to process experiences for the Extrovert. Without that balance, a person’s life can become ‘unmanageable’.

👤 People who don’t use each function properly can become incompetent flakes who don’t do anything right (in the extreme, of course 🙁).
EXP: An Introvert who only relies on their DOM will start having unreal ideas of the world, while such an Extravert will be reckless & do thoughtless things….
AND
🧠 If an Introvert doesn’t use their Extrovert AUX, they’ll just live in their head, imagining all the things they want to do, talking about them – endlessly, even make plans, but never actually DO-ing them
OR
If an Extrovert ignores their I Aux, they’ll rush thru life taking actions without stopping to consider why, & making messes even if their motives are good, ignoring consequences to others, or the effect on their own physical & mental health ….

DOM-AUXILIARY pairs at their MOST UNhealthy:
Te-Si and Si-Te (ESTJ or ISTJ) will completely lose sight of why they do & want the things they do & want, robotically going through the motions of life, checking off boxes, until they wake up one day to realize they’ve been miserable for the last 40 years

Se-Fi and Fi-Se (ESFP or ISFP) will be self-absorbed, caring only about their own experiences. They have a lot in common with ENTJ & INTJ, but those 2 types are more likely to bulldoze others into submission – making everyone hate them, while ESFP & ISFP will neglect people – making everyone just feel indifferent
❄️
Se-Ti and Ti-Se (ESTP or ISTP) will become so disconnected from society that their skills & knowledge will become useless to themself, but blame everyone else for their problems

Fe-Si and Si-Fe (ESFJ or ISFJ) will be fake & smiley. They’ll do everything possible to keep up the APPEARANCE of having a solid personal life, then let off steam by talking trash behind people’s back. With an unhealthy ESFJ or ISFJ, one can never be sure íf they’re really your friend – or not
❄️
Ne-Ti and Ti-Ne (ENTP or INTP) will ‘devil’s-advocate’ everything into oblivion, never committing to any opinions of their own

Ne-Fi and Fi-Ne (ENFP or INFP) will get trapped between their need to consider everything vs making the absolute bestest decision, so become paralyzed
❄️
Te-Ni and Ni-Te (ENTJ or INTJ) will become very, very selfish, not considering others when pursuing their goals

Fe-Ni and Ni-Fe (ENFJ or INFJ) will see the world through B & W colored glasses, while thinking they know what’s best for everyone. In their own mind, they’re morally superior judges standing above an evil, lazy world. In reality – they are just TREMENDOUS jerks.
