So, having read through a lot of the posts on this page, I think I see where the misconception with Eugene is coming from. Eugene, as he is now, is not the same person he was for a long time. I don't mean at his core, but his ability to actually access his emotions and core beliefs and express them openly (which is something he is still working on, and is one of the reasons he rarely does the Tripods) Ive been watching the Try Guys since they were on buzzfeed, and Eugene has changed quite a bit, primarily through exercise and regular therapy. But, if you go back and watch videos with Eugene from the early days of the Try Guys, he comes off very differently. Primarily, Eugene felt through most of his life (up until he was 30) that, not only was he not in touch with his own emotions, but he actually would frequently fear he didn't have them. He touches on this briefly in the Try Guys Try Therapy and various vlogs and tweets. He would also let this informaiton slip here and there in videos from a few years ago. In the Try Guys discuss astrology tripod he briefly talks about believing in astrology because he strongly identifies with Capricorns being "cold, calculating and detached from their emotions and others'" He was not as "in tune" with his Fi as he appears now that he is older - one could even argue, based on Eugene's own words, that he wasn't "in tune" AT ALL. And I think I entered this discourse assuming that people voting or commenting had watched his older content and had heard him talk quite a bit about his personal emotional detachment and fears of, as he put it, "being empty inside"
