Everyone’s a little mixed. Absolutely. I only talk in absolutes when I do for the sake of simplicity.
Some people are dead-set that MBTI-type doesn’t change and you carry the type you were born with no matter how much you change or evolve beyond that but yeah. There are definitely shades and even if the case was definitively proven in personality-psychology bla-bla-bla, it would still only be one part of your personality. People are fundamentally individuals and the complexity of that goes way beyond 16 or 160 boxes.
Everyone’s more than capable of deciding for themselves who’s likeable or unlikeable but there’s too much depth of diversity in human personality for me to write anyone off as 100% one thing or the other or for me to talk out of place about some bugger thinking I know them when I actually don’t or maybe I do know them a little bit but can only go off intuition (which doesn’t always fail me, it has to be said) or little snippets I’ve heard from others. Everyone’s their own person and I respect that by keeping up those unspoken boundaries and letting people stride up as they are, not who I assume them to be. I’m not the one to talk out-of-turn about things or people I don’t know well. I’ll just say what I think but make it clear that my observations and hunches only go so far. Intuition and assumption are two very different things but even at that I just feel like it’s better to have something tangible to go off when it comes to making broad strokes about people beyond trying to align them into a certain box beyond the scope of a certain four-lettered acronym. Especially people who are notoriously quiet and reserved, because still waters run deep. You’re not always going to know what lurks behind the cool demeanour unless you’re one of the people who know them enough to consider them a friend.
Personal taste or distaste is neither here nor there when it comes to deciding who’s inherently good or bad, and at the end of the day none of us are the Yaweh what created ’em. I don’t think it’s on us to ascribe value to anyone based on whether they’re our personal cup of tea or not. Some people just don’t click or vibe and that’s fine. But everyone out there is compatible with someone, as well as incompatible. For everyone who complains when their tea is anything other than slightly unflavoured and piping hot there are three who appreciate well-brewed, moderately hot Earl Grey that you can get into the minute it’s given to you instead of waiting so long to let it cool down. But why pretend or make passive-aggressive underhand comments when you’re given the tea you will not like? You know?
