    Shadow functions and BPD theory

    Okay, I have a theory. (Being infj, I feel like this is already fact because it feels right to me, but I still want to discuss it) So, as we know the INFJ functions are as follows: Ni Fe Ti Se So that means the shadow functions are those of the ENFP: Ne Fi Te Si I have been diagnosed...
