I am transtypal (a subform of trans ID concerning the kind of typology (e.g. MBTI, enneagram) that a person identifies as) (I have hobby and interest dysphoria as well but that's kind of separate). Transtypal people long to become a different type, they identify as a type that they are not. They long to have all of the characteristics associated with that type and feel dysphoria (analogous to gender dysphoria) about their "assigned" type.
Typology is my language. It's second nature to my brain. I speak english, and I speak typese. ('to speak typese' is to depend on typology for understanding people/things).
I went to a social group yesterday and my social worker came and saw me there. Today when I checked my emails she told me that I didn't say 'goodbye' when I left and that I didn't let her check in on me I began spiralling. This ESFP dysphoria is unbearable!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't identify as irresponsible, impolite, careless, low self awareness. I didn't bother at all to say goodbye etc so I am careless and irresponsible. I had no memory of doing that, so I must lack self awareness (I identify as TransHighSelfAwareness). People have also complained of loud music and the smell of rubbish coming from my flat, that is very ESFP of me.
Transtypalism has the concept of neighbourism. Meaning that the typology labels aren't strict (and have more nuanced), for example if I say that I identify as INTP sp5w4 then "neighbouring" types such as ILE sp7 or SLI sp9 are okay, and that the 'closer' a typology is to ESFP/ESFJ + heart triad the more it gives me dysphoria.
I wish there were procedures one could undergo to change their personality to a one that they identify as.
I also have dysphoria about my interests and internet use.
