If you're not careful, your trickster function can ruin your life. Thats what death drive functions purpose are. Trickster functions blind you, everything of that function in trickster either evades you or confuses you, the part of the world you perceive wrong because it is what most feels threatening. All threat we see in the world is information picked up by the trickster function through our child function.
With all that said, trickster function in types can also be their hidden strengths, or strengths the type themselves aren't too conscious of. Trickster Se means we do not put any stock or investment in the immediate physical world. Dom Fi means we compete with ourselves than any other entity. So we dont compete with other entities, and where do other entities exist? In the immediate physical world your interacting with.
The thing about INFP's that they've gotta realise, other people sense that nothing effects you but yourself. Even the things they've manifested in the world to effect you, it still only effects us through the Fi-Si loop, so through ourselves. This is an amazing power we INFP's retain.
This is also why we make other people feel at ease. They sense we're not really 'here' with them in the immediate physical world and this takes away much of the potential threat of that reality. It feels like they can easily tread to influence us in the way they want the interaction to go, thats why people find it easy to be around INFP's and why they can be so amiable because other people find INFP's malleable because they can mitigate manifesting negative experiences and situations.
Trickster Se is also our 'danger'. Because other types sense we don't have it, if their Se is showing us one reality, this has no baring on how we respond to a situation because we just don't see it, so this is where we can be sensitive or come into misunderstandings because we are wrongly perceiving the totality of a situation because we are not getting the Se side of it. The danger also comes from that it is our weapon. When the INFP is in ISTP demon mode, Ti retains that desire and grudge and hatred and Se enacts it upon the world.
