3L - Insecure Logic

Inner Conflict

Very skeptical of all logical thought. May spiral into anxiety when thinking about intellectual pursuits. Unsure of the best way to organize information and ideas in order to get it across in a way that accurately expresses their ideas. May choose to obsess over formal logic or reject it all together. Worry about the underlying meaning of the conceptual. Feel anxiety when they make their academic work public. When speaking, can overemphasize odd and out of place words. Often have a fascination with foreign language but insecurity in expressing thoughts outside of their native tongue. See the underlying negative possibilities that others ignore or miss.

Reactive Phase

Prefer to engage with others about the tenets of logic so long as they are communicative. Tend to spend hours rewriting any sort of opinion piece. Can get pulled into religious zealotry and cult ideology as a place-marker for lack of assured logical thought. Overthink almost everything they communicate. Can be prone to aiding conspiracy theories and distrust of popular sources of information. Twist or misrepresent others’ logical explanations through their own language rather than how they were initially presented. May become overly explorative and obsessed with voicing their opinions at every chance possible.

Dormant Phase

May disconnect due to feeling trapped when expected to offer in depth explanations. Can be very sensitive to criticism of their ideas and being told they are incorrect. Have a distrust of others understanding their own concept of reality. Prefer to check in with others rather than openly assert their opinions. Have a hard time trusting that they can effectively communicate their ideas to others. May become trapped in negative thought loops, so they will ll detach from thinking about logic all together. Have a hard time trusting in their memory when it comes to detailed logic which can lead to repetition and obsession.

Secure Phase

Feel comfort in learning and applying their logic with no fear of criticism. Come to understand that their ideas are useful and will develop and improve over time. Can accept that they are fallible and make mistakes when it comes to academic pursuits. Become accepting of those who make themselves an authority on a subject or idea. Refuse to over-analyze subjects and rather let ideas speak for themselves rather than obsessing. Learn how to empathize with those who heavily criticize their ideas and intellectual pursuits.

Theoretical Breakdown

The 3L attitude is formed by placing the logic aspect (L) into the insecure position (3rd). Insecure logic (3L) has an apprehensive and unsure attitude towards all logical concepts. All 3L types are insufficient at being involved in matters relating to the logical realm. They are mostly anxious about their opinions of higher knowledge, political arguments, scientific thought and their own abilities to reason. These types tend to have a shaky and unstable relationship with how they process and logically organize the world around them. They tend to need clarification and feedback from others when engaging in all matters related to logic.
