It's not just you.

While this phenomena may predominate amongst NT's, I don't know if it is limited to NT's. (e.g., I imagine ISTP's often find themselves in similar situations.)

If there is one thing I know about people in general, it is that they neglect, avoid, resist, and deny reason. People would rather try to create meaning apart from reason than let reason inform them as to what is meaningful. So when the NT, hungry for rational justification, presses another to explain why he believes as he does, he finds only empty words, mere noises that the other attempts to use to prop himself up over and against reason in order to retain some degree of autonomy.
