Vulnerable sensing

Thoughts on determining your pain function or pain channel functions.

Dear friend, you are invited to think about your vulnerable function – one of Jung’s four functions: sensory, intuition, ethics, and logic. You can record your responses to the video, if it is convenient for you.  I would like to explain what this function is or channel of vulnerable functions of different vertices is. The fact is that if a person has painful intuition of doubt (Ni), then, as a rule, intuition of possibilities (Ne) will also bother. Therefore, I do not break Young’s functions into socionics ones (of different vertices), since this is unprincipled. 
The vulnerable channel of functions is associated with fears and with the information that you want to see exclusively in a positive way. Negative information can put you in a state of panic or unsettle you, slow down or put you in a state where you begin to act inappropriately. You may see it yourself, that there were no real reasons for thinking and behaving like that, but you act instinctively and you can’t do anything about it.  Such behavior can be repeated and manifest in the form of obsessive, disturbing thoughts and actions. You can pay too much attention to a particular case under the influence of this function.
It may be also difficult for a person to correlate reality with probability, he may imagine trouble where they essentially does not exist and cannot exist. And even if you tell the person and show the real state of affairs, he will still remain with his opinion or fear. That is, a person is often scared not by the fact of what is happening, but by the image that draws his imagination. It is unpleasant to hear from others about the bad events on this aspect of information. At the same time, you can gratefully accept help, care, advice.
Sensing
1) If you have a vulnerable channel of the sensory, then negative information about your own feelings, health and your appearance will be perceived by you painfully. This may apply directly to you or to objects surrounding you. For example, there are tactless people who can make a comment about the quality of the food you eat or the clothes you wear, your personal hygiene or cleanliness (dirty hands, nails, smell, bacteria, etc.)
Ethics
2) If this is ethics, then we are talking about the fear of being rejected, misunderstood by the group of people, to be an outcast, condemned, rejected by society. This is a fear of perceived to be unethical, a fear of negative opinions about you made by the people around you, as well as ridicule, humiliation, negative emotions, conflicts, etc.
Logics
3) If this is logic, then this is the fear of being perceived as illogical, being considered stupid, not smart enough, not knowing something important, not taking into account some essential details, breaking the rules. At the same time, a person can successfully engage in theory, but build it not so much on objective laws and facts as on his own speculations and fantasies. There may be a fit of facts to those theoretical propositions which seemed to sound as true to you. It can be difficult to do any work to organize information or objects, such as cleaning the house. Difficulties in maintaining order, consistency of thoughts and actions.
Intution
4) If this is intuition, then a person is afraid of opportunities, accidents, the negative development of events that are not personally dependent on him – he is afraid of bad luck, all the bad things that can happen. A fear may appear before a choice is made, before an expected event, or you can be afraid and doubt after a decision has been made.

LIE
– Usually, it becomes terribly scary to me precisely from the thought that any further my activity towards this person no longer carries value. And I was devalued, as if I was fired from my job.
Yes, I am scared to live if there is no benefit from me. Usually, when they make it clear to me that my activity is not needed, I have a desire to run away and die.
I usually have a hell of a panic in my chest with the feeling that I can no longer be of benefit.
Well, that is, I did something wrong and now there is no trust in me and I can no longer do something for this person, because he no longer wants my help.
-For example, I do not know how to create a calm environment, so I try to rely on my friends and husband in terms of choosing places to stay. Well, I can choose myself, but as a rule it is very difficult to get there, you get tired until you get there. Well, just to relax, I cannot offer this, I do not know how to do this. I am not even able to organize my own birthday. But there is simply no desire and that’s it. All the time my husband comes up with ideas. My fantasy doesn’t work in this direction. I don’t have any clear logical algorithms for such things. Everything about holidays, games, all this in order to relax. Therefore, I love it when one of my friends or my husband invites me somewhere where they feel comfortable.

LII
In high school, a girl sitting behind me constantly picked on me. I hated this terribly, but I couldn’t do anything, because “you can’t touch the girls,” and I couldn’t think of anything to say to her. If I asked her to leave me alone, she would teased even more. And on her part it was just trolling, nothing serious. I was unpleasant.
Anyway, there were constant problems with classmates due to the cult of strength and “swarms” in high school. For me, these were harsh test times. I did not like submission, and therefore I always acted in my own way, therefore I was not part of the collective. Plus, I didn’t really like to give someone something like doing school work, which I did myself. Because of this, they did not love me and considered me detached. Plus, my serious reaction to all the jokes. You can imagine for yourself what it was.
I am avoiding aggression. In general, with any aggression, I have a fear and desire to leave the place of hostilities by any means. If a person is unfriendly to me, I can fear that he will make me something bad. I myself do nasty things to people if there is a reason for this and implicitly, so that “no one knows who did it.” For example, if a neighbor plays music loudly, I can quietly cut him wires. However, I try first to ask him to make the music quieter.
I absolutely do not like arrogant people who dress themselves out for no reason and violate the rules of public order. I believe that in childhood they had a deficit of attention and now this is their one whim. Although, maybe I’m wrong.

The vulnerable function of LII is pride.
From the discussion on Facebook of the Socionics International Journal group, by Olga Tangemann.

“LII lacks the self-control and composure of the sensing types, they can easily be pissed off about their dignity and authority, because the program function of Ti and the vulnerable Se is the sensitivity of their status and authority. When people undermine it, laugh at them, do not take them seriously, do not show due respect, if they ignore LIIs opinion, do not pay attention and do not care … this is a painful moment. It may happen that people do not mean it at all, but because of the vulnerable position of Se (function of power and authority) LII is inclined to think so and can easily turn on: “Why are you laughing? making a laughingstock out of me? “. LII becomes irritated and emotional. It is difficult for him to handle disrespect  and this is where verbal abuse usually begins.
LII must get rid of his negative emotions, which he accumulates and explodes at the first convenient opportunity. The incidents that caused irritation and the one that causes emotional release may not be related to each other. The person decides who to make the scapegoat and find a reason to express negative emotions. LII becomes an aggressor if the situation allows him to be such.
This is emotional aggression. Mostly verbal abuse, but it can also become physical. Physical aggression by LII (and perhaps some other intuitive types) can be easily controlled by distracting attention, doing what the person does not expect. This disorientates them and they immediately lose resistance. But emotional and verbal aggression cannot be easily eliminated because this is the usual way LII gets rid of negative emotional outburst.
I’m sure there is a technique that can help LII keep emotions in check. But this is a part of the relationship with LII and the partner must be willing to deal with it on a day to day basis. LII are like children who can sometimes get hysterical and need an understanding parenting attitude from a partner who is not easily offended. One way to reduce emotional stress is to turn a tense situation into a joke. Most likely, LII will follow the joke and instantly change his mood. This is how the suggestive Fe function works.
The types of managers ST, I mean mostly LSI and SLE, respect hierarchy and authority, do not have a painful position of power and status. They simply take this into account and do not challenge authority, because it is foolish to go against it without having a power advantage. They do not want to become a reason for laughter and gossip in the eyes of other people. They also will not sacrifice themselves for the TRUTH by throwing emotional blows of verbal abuse. LII tends to do exactly the opposite. He does not take into account the power arrangement, climbs on the rampage, behaves thoughtlessly under the influence of  emotions and becomes a laughing stock. In the eyes of LII, this is a demonstration of strength and courageous behavior, but from the point of view of sensory types, such courage is considered a stupid move. ”
