Does the Inferior Function cause the conscious insecurity for a Type?

Hello.

General Thoughts

• What motivated me to make this post was circumstances in my workplace— I have experienced anger and insecurity with coworkers insisting upon rules being rules regardless of personal context…

• …I don’t know if that thought process can be attributed to an unhealthy manifestation of Te & Si in tandem with each other… I should emphasize that I do not attribute this resentment towards every XSTJ ever, just the unhealthy manifestations within my coworkers.

• Te in itself just makes me really insecure and uncomfortable… Even though, I do acknowledge that I use it myself to some capacity— yes, I do defer to evidence and appreciate some measure of clear rules, but I’d rather rules and standards be adjustable and considerate of persons’ (persons’?) individual feelings and circumstances.

• On the flip side, I do acknowledge to that my insistent adherence to personal feelings values - albeit, my very passive assertion of said values most likely may rub off frustratingly on coworkers in which Te may be a more forefront function.

• Please, do others have a similar experience with their own inferior function? Does it tend to produce pronounced insecurity for you?

Thanks in advance.
