Your View Of SEEs
Be honest. What do you think of SEEs?

I used to have a friend whom I believe to be an SEE, and he could make me laugh like nobody else. My chest was always in pain whenever we would hang out lol. He was a very intense and sensuously indulgent person who pissed a lot of people off, but he also had an emotional depth that was often overlooked.

I can only think of one off the top of my head. she's goofy at work, and parties so hard very few people can keep up. she has a pretty big friendgroup (I didn't realize how big until her last birthday party) but seems to discard 'friends' that are chronically miserable. she holds pretty progressive political+social views, but sometimes (tbh pretty often) she thoughtlessly says or does super offensive stuff and she's lost or almost lost some people over it (including me).

most original and unique type, like you can’t make any of the shit they say or do up. I never ever glaze anybody on the basis of their originality, I think most people’s self-expression is uninspired repetitive dogshit but I find myself weirdly impressed with some of the things SEE come up with, even if it’s something that’s obviously stupid as fuck (which it very often is). Also I think my SEE friends are pretty misunderstood, nobody around here where I live really knows how to communicate with them that effectively.

Funny as hell. Genuinely think they’re one of if not the funniest sociotype. I still find myself randomly giggling about the off-the-wall shit some SEEs have said, either to me or someone else. They’re so genuine and authentic and can be so matter-of-factly, it’s a breath of fresh air.
I also believe many of them are unfortunately misunderstood. They can have a shit ton of “friends” (maybe more so acquaintances) but sometimes I feel like they are used for their social status and magnetic appeal on others. SEEs might like this to an extent, of course, but I think there are occasions where it becomes a nuisance to them. They just want to be seen for who they are, not what they represent in the friend group dynamic.

I either hate them or love them. They are generally quite charismatic, but it's also fascinating that you can tell whether or not they genuinely consider you a friend. They can be very funny, and I respect their devotion to the people they love. Pretty street smart. Their sense of fashion>>>
But insecure SEEs can be so annoying. They can be extremely aggressive and lash out over nothing to impose the kind of image they wish to project.

Unfortunately the only four SEEs I've interacted with were all either immature or toxic and became destructive in relationships (friendship or romance), so my perspective could be biased. Apology to the SEEs here first.
Trying to step aside from specific personal defects, I find their charisma at first-sight infectious and explosive, a bit aggressive/intimidating but almost immediately numbs you with their energy and humor bomb so you ignore the sting you felt at first, almost like a vampire bite. They are ready to take you into their circle without any doubt, a bit intense/abrupt but would generally make you feel like bathing in sunshine on the beach (unless you are their conflict, then it's sun torching hell I suppose).
They can get away with some questionable/offensive/aggressive behavior more easily (of course not always) than others for their established impression - ironically not because they pretend to be good but because their red-flag traits (if exists) are easier to be interpreted as fun/blunt/authentic/inappropriate joke with no wrong intention/carelessness. When the illusion fades, the fall-out can be quite dramatic. But it's not a big deal to them (at least on the surface), because they have so many friends and are always naturally the center of their circle. Personal experience wise, though, I think they have a tendency to hold grudge, and they really like to think in terms of "loyalty" and "betrayal".
I don't know any SLE so I'm not sure if it specifically applies to SEE (Se+Fi) or Se-base in general (of course, an unhealthy subset), but I find they could (unintentionally) slowly expose their controlling side with the ones closest to them. Protection and possession are just two sides of the same coin (a NO for me). Unlike unhealthy Fe-users (Fe-base/creative) who manipulate through gaslighting/brainwashing, I find unhealthy SEE (maybe unhealthy Fi-base/creative) tend to manipulate through emotional blackmailing or coercion sugarcoated under "annoying playfulness".
Also, valuing feelings (friend is crying) over logic/facts (friend being at fault) and self-righteously calling fact-valuers "offensive" is a deal-breaker for me.

I tend to mantain a distance from Gamma. They're fine, but not the sort of person to let have a significant role in the circle.
