I hate to say it, but for someone that has Ne as a lower function, I utilize the manipulation sometimes. I know exactly what buttons to push on certain people, and sometimes I just love pushing them because I know exactly how that person will react. Bad, right?<br /><br />The episode for Marple is fantastic!

We should always be kind, even if we don’t want to be. =P<br /><br />Ne is… an interesting function to have. It picks up on a lot of things. It’s a good manipulator function. Fortunately, I see most manipulation as futile so I don’t do it as much as I could. I still do it, though.

I'm sincere a great deal of the time, but I still have bouts where my eyes are inwardly crossing as I'm listening to someone prattle. Worse is when I dislike someone and am forced to listen to them. Then I know I'm being insincere and it disturbs me how well I fake it.

I still in some sense deceive myself and others (I need others more than I care to let on) but I do better at sincerity now. Percy's deception is unique in that he is portraying himself utterly as someone other than he is -- there is NO resemblance between the true Percy and the foppish Percy.
