Hi Yogurtssss

What do you mean by "a negative person"? Pessimism??

Reading about the cognitive functions was interesting to me because they talked about our inferior functions being used self-destructively when we're under stress. Apparently, personality growth comes from strengthening our lesser-used functions so that we're more 'well-rounded'.

For me, Se is my inferior function, and can lead to self destructive sensation seeking, things like over-eating and drugs/alcohol use etc, in times of stress. I do definitely comfort eat under stress, and I also sometimes buy things to cheer myself up too (I get in these 'F it!' moods, whereas usually I'm very careful with money), but nothing too bad. However, thinking about it now, I have found mindfulness and crafting soooo helpful for my mental health over the past few years and I'm wondering if that's because I've unwittingly strengthened Se in a healthy way??
