Does Si tend to internalize pain avoidance?

Hi.

Thoughts/Questions

• I was eyeing ISFP for myself, but a thought occurred to me that may do more to reinforce my perception axis being Ne/Si…

• Pain avoidance is probably a general human experience, but what I am curious about, please, is how pain avoidance operates within a Si function?

• My thought process is that once Si experiences something painful, it internalizes the sensory cause of the pain and seeks to avoid the sensory associations going forward; I know a mental theme for me is experiencing severe anxiety in being around potential sources of pain.

• One example— I was stung by a wasp once as a child, but the severity of the pain sort of imprinted itself into my mind, so now, even as an adult, I feel immense anxiety and unease around insects with stingers, afraid to relive the pain of having been stung.

• Another example— embarrassing as it is, I am literally afraid of balloons; I hate sudden, loud noises and I perceive balloons to be “loud noise bombs” that could go off any minute— there’s immense anxiety within proximity of balloons (especially indoors, when the popping sound is much more pronounced within a contained area)— it evokes a visceral flight response within me.

• I’m curious, please, if such a thought process of internalizing associations with pain and seeking to avoiding perceived sources of the pain possibly recurring reflects on a Si function?

• I am also curious, please, as to what the Se-Ni relationship to pain could be?

Thanks.
