ISFP in the grip of inferior function (Te)-Example

[maria_s]

As an ISFP whenever i get Mad at someone I’ll be extremely passive agressive. For me the tone of the voice and a polite request matter a lot. If someone’s rude to me or criticizes me or i’m mad at them I’ll do the exactly what i know it’ll piss them off. And can get really mean with words. I am a pretty much of a people pleaser and pretty go with the flow but if someone asks me to do something in a very rude way or continue to insist on things i dont want to do at all I’ll do the exact opposite thing just for the sake of pissing them off.
And i definitely have a habit of making things worse because i hate conflicts and instead of actually standing up for myself and being straightforward I’ll do the things to piss people off. I am also guilty of simply avoiding people instead of adressing what’s wrong. I usually get Mad when people try to control me criticize me or tryna invade my personal space.

Saying things for shock value/dropping bombs is another inferior Te thing. INFPs also use this (without the passive aggression) to carve their stance out. It comes from Fi stubbornness and the desire to prove no one can control you.

If I'm not mistaken, Te grip is like EVERYONE NEEDS TO GET THE F--- OUT OF MY WAY.

Oooh, good one. Another inferior Te thing is her South America plan. In a Te grip, it feels urgently important to have a plan and keep moving forward, even if the plan is awful and you hate it. 😐 ( I know this as an INFP.)

Thank you for this series, it's so much better to see Grip examples in action! Please consider doing a Loop series in the future, I think you'd nail it ;)

I have an isfp friend. She's away more often than she's home. Loves freedom.

I believe I am a isfp. I got angry just watching this video.

1:18 - 1:25 me when someone I'm mad at tries to talk to me

[elizabethbennet]

yeah when were stressed we go autistic and go "play dead" cuz its too overwhelming to be there. ISFP women do NOT want to be dominated, it makes us very unhappy and eventually will end in disaster

0:20 ISFP in inferior grip getting on others for the things they hate most about themselves.

Yay! Finally! Something that would be interesting to see is what type the other person causing stress is.

I (ENTP) dated a couple of ISFPs over the past 8 years or so - this really brings back memories of the difficult times

[ryyreads]

wow this is so accurate. as an infp I am always sort of afraid to speak and divulge what I REALLY FEEL AND WHAT I REALLY WANNA SAY in an argument because of how in depth I know I can go.
I can really do damage.

I love your series of types in the Grip! I’ve been showing them to my friend who is an ENFP. I think a good movie with an ENFP in the Grip is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Clementine is my favorite example of an ENFP!

Grip functions always fascinates me because the worst in everyone is so different. I am usually bold straight forward and plan my decisions tactfully due to my high Te but when I'm under stress, I get so caught up in the negative I become paranoid and in the worst scenario breakdown due to inferior Ne(istj). For the Isfp and Infps its the other way around but of course since its not their natural preferred state the Te will cause more harm than good.

I was typed several times as an isfp but I use my inferior Te way too much, probably why I always end up with my energy drained and super stressed. I dont act passive aggressive, just aggressive aggressive, maybe I'm just an unhealthy isfp

I'm just watching this through the screen but dang Paul stresses me out

[loveandflowers]

Audrey was playing an extrovert in this movie. She said in an interview how difficult it was to play because naturally shes introverted

[akaboo]
