What unhealthy function/type (if there’s one specific one) would try to deal with jealousy by denying it exists and acting friendly and bubbly with everyone, probably in an attempt to get external validation, but also totally cold-shouldering the people that they blame for the feeling?
Without further information, I’d say the person that inspired you to make that question could be any type going through a very petty moment. I will try to hypothesise but keep in mind that this is just me divagating.
High TeIn an attempt to organise the outer world in a more pleasant way, high Te would probably act in a certain manner that would make them feel like they are in control of the environment, obviating the obnoxious elements (here, the source of jealousy) and highlighting the actions that would protect their pride (”I am happy, I don’t need whatever I want and cannot have”).These leads us to xNTJ and xSTJ. Although I think if this is the first time that you see that person behave like this, high Si would be less probable than high Ni. Hence INTJ and ENTJ more likely than ISTJ and ESTJ. Vice-versa if this behaviour seems more like a pattern to you.
High FeHigh Fe users are prone to be manipulative with feelings when they are at their worst, especially more immature or unhealthy individuals. I have seen my ESFJ friend do this countless times. Again, if this is a chronic pattern of behaviour I would point more towards xSFJ, whereas if it’s more of a newish thing it might be xNFJ trying to cope in an immature way.
Again, all types can do these sort of things and the fact that one specific person behaves like this is not generalisable. I hope this helps, anyway.
– INTJ
I am guilty of doing this.
