On Perfectionism

I have received many questions that relate to or boil down to problems with perfectionism, so here are some thoughts for the archive.

DOMINANT FUNCTIONS APPRECIATION

Dominant functions get plenty of praise, as the most this or that. But when they shine best, in my opinion, is when they’re not excessive and are well-rounded. They’ve been called the ‘Hero’ functions as they can very much resemble super powers. Yet again, in my opinion, they’re the most epic when they lead fearlessly and honorably, taking more with them than just their own cravings and impulses.

So here’s what I appreciate about all the dominant functions when they are acting in healthy integration and moderation.

Dominant Se in ESPs Life is right here, right now, and you don’t let it pass you by and get away. You’re bold and brave and waste little to no time in getting down to matters. You readily adapt to circumstances or even use them to your advantage. Or you demolish what stands in the way. You can also be fiercely protective of those who are weaker than you in this sense and help create a path for them. And for someone who’s so in touch with what’s going on, it’s admirable that you still do your own thing. You may be trendy, or be setting the trend.

Dominant Si in ISJs What’s the name of that? What was the date? You’re a walking encyclopedia when it comes to your interests and what you care about. And when the past seems unreal and one has to wonder whether things happened or not, you can tell the facts and keep us from losing our minds. You’re a stabilizer on many levels and often the much-needed anchor. Duty and commitment don’t frighten you as much as it does others and that keeps us afloat.

Dominant Ne in ENPs Ever expanding and elaborating on concepts, possibilities take shape and inform us of what could be. You are breadth instead of depth, and that can keep us alive when we’re running out of air. You are enterprising and defiant toward limiting beliefs that keep from growing and can break out of your own, setting the example for others. And while some of us aren’t fans of arguing (or even conversing) every day, when you’re serious (or at least considerate) enough, you can be an exceptionally brilliant orator.

Dominant Ni in INJs You are the calm amidst the storm. Little can phase you when you’re familiar with the archetypes contained within given circumstances. As you see it, some things may change and some will remain the same. And you give time, time. You are depth instead of breadth, and that can take us to the root of the issues that torment us and liberate us from them. You easily look further, which, when done wisely, can be both relieving and inspiring.

Dominant Te in ETJs Got something to build? “The world will knock you down plenty, you don’t need to be doing it yourself.” You’re confident and motivational as few projects can intimidate you. There are always ways to deal with tasks, even when they are many and are challenging, and you are well aware of this. You rarely back down when you must get through it, even when things are hard. And why sabotage yourself or let others sabotage you? Seriously, why? If you’re working toward improvement, there’s no good reason - so you keep going.

Dominant Ti in ITPs Got something to dismantle? You’re the person to pick things apart and be critical with. That which is highly respected and accepted despite having major flaws and holes stands no chance against you if you know how to prioritize and make your dissection ultimately beneficial. When you’re not cynical or rebelling destructively for no good reason, you can thoroughly examine what is and isn’t working and find solutions that truly address problems at their core.

Dominant Fe in EFJs No smothering people, but being there for them and offering help even when they try to act like they don’t need it. Sometimes it takes someone like you to remind some of us that we’re not always meant to be isolated or divided (just please don’t ask me to hug my enemies) and could help each other, or at least spend some worthwhile moments together. I don’t know how you can keep extending yourself for others (well, I do, but whoa), but some of us really needed someone who’d go the extra mile for us.

Dominant Fi in IFPs You’re a treasure trove few get to see, holding dear all that is of meaningful significance to you. Still, you constantly evaluate and reevaluate, digging deeper and polishing what is within you for a purer sense of self and of what’s important to uphold. You’re no stranger to a wide range of emotions (although they don’t frequently come to the surface) and can comprehend others on very personal levels, if not only let them be.

The smash hit of the summer.

I don’t understand but I agree.

this is the best thing I’ve ever seen on twitter
