Thank you for the psychobabble, l feel sooooo much better now!
No, that was just the only reason I could think of that information on BPD would make you feel anything. I guess it just affects you that I have BPD!
Also forgot to add that I seem to be Enneagram 5w6Thanks!

What do you mean? You said "as per Meyers [sic]-Briggs". I can only assume you meant Myers-Briggs Type Indicator theory, which is the basis for many personality quizzes. Would you please clarify what you are using instead?
There is no thinker/feeler dichotomy. The way MBTI defines introversion/extroversion differs significantly from evidence-backed definitions. This, and more, is explained in the linked paper.
I am highly aware of these tendencies, but seem to be able to traverse the widest span of them.
I can be extremely introverted, and yet extremely extroverted--- as the situation demands. I am very strongly aligned with being a "thinker"--- and equally so a "feeler".
It is my conviction that wholesome thought, speech, action, is dependent on collation, (re)conciliation of the two.
Accompanying that, is the cost---
it ain't cheap. It's still mask.
In the list of polar opposites, "agreeable" seems to be my closest affiliation.
I can, however be brazenly dis-agreeable, if I feel an ideal is being assaulted or injustice being done.
This once again brings home, for me, the complex sophistication of masking---
and the crushing weight of it--- simultaneously.
It is a huge expenditure, pleasing when it's working, despair when it's not.
I hope that any of this made sense in some way.
oh, is that what you meant by thinker/feeler? I thought it was like how you make decisions and stuff. No, I don't have to think about how I'm feeling to know how I'm feeling.
And my introversion does make me agreeable because in most cases, rather than disagreeing I will agree just to keep a low profile. I'll compare myself to my extroverted ex who disagrees with everything because he loves to hear himself talk. I don't.
I scored INFP the first time I did the Myer-Briggs, ENFP the second time, INF-something-I-forgot another time, and two others I don't remember at all, all months or years apart from each other.
I'm introverted, disagreeable, a thinker AND and a feeler, very ambitious, aggressive, assertive (I can't tell anyone they're hurting my ears because they will just continue to make the noise to do it, so that doesn't count.) I used to be very assertive, but that has only gotten me on trouble, so I'm less assertive about (like someone's breath or someone being too loud). I'm definitely willing to stand up for myself, and I'm not afraid to confront people.
both introverts and extroverts want to be social. they just do so at different frequencies. one prefers one on one while the other prefers crowds.
I think I might introverted as I don't do well in large crowds and prefer one on one interaction. apart from that, I prefer my own company through being on the spectrum.
i'm definitely an analyst and I think I would be disagreeable as i'm more concerned with the truth than what makes people feel good.
