Hey guys. I just had an experience today where I was very happy and getting confident on a new clothing style, but one bad comment (from a jealous person) ruined my mood for the rest of the day. I learned in another thread that our dominant function, Ne, essentially multiplies the possiblities of whatever we do. However, if it is not fed enough it feeds on our thoughts, the opinions of others, etc. I dwelled on that person's comment for the rest of the day and got into an EVEN worse mood. Have you guys ever experienced something like that? Well anyway Ne also serves essentially as a multiplier for whatever we feel. So if we feel hurt or targeted (as I did) Ne is programmed to give us even MORE reasons to feel that way. Scary isn't it?
Here's where I hope to get interesting. If it can do that with something negative, then imagine something positive. I believe the problem in my situation was not having a very well developed Fi and then my situation was worsened by improper use of Ne, but I digress. Essentially, I've noticed that I tend to never have very constant emotions. It seems that they are always in flux with highs and lows. (and I assume the same for many other people of my type) So, rather than trying to stay constant I'd like to learn how to control the highs and stay that way as much as possible. Anyone care to contribute ideas?
