Is there anyone who had experienced certain people with certain cognitive functions that just exhaust you to no end? I believe I find people with amounts of what I think is Ti, Te and Se to be quite draining to me. Mind you, I am not totally sure of how each cognitive function...well...functions. So, what are your experiences in this area?

Fe, Fi types tire me out. I find N-users amusing and fairly entertaining but F-users just gets so...emotional.

Te.

And sometimes.....heavy Ti discussions. Even more rare: Ni.

Not the same as what you're asking, I guess...but I think that being an Fe aux drains me. :dry:

Fi both drains and restores me (draining to try to understand what I feel, restorative once I do).
Ni can mess with my mind, and Ti vexes me.
Se is exhausting.

Ti for sure. They can get into so much detail that I'm not interested in. Probably Se too.

Si drains me like nothing else- when I'm interacting with Si users or if I'm supposed to be focusing on si oriented things in a given situation.. I hate it.

Occasionally Ne [when it's a dominant function in someone I'm interacting with] can become tiring, but usually when I'm already tired from something else.

My own Fe can tire me out, depending on the situation/person I'm around-- other people's Fe can feel intrusive/overwhelming, mainly when coupled with Si.

Se can be overwhelming in high doses for extended periods of time.. not in others, per se, but when mine's engaged, if that makes sense.

Te ticks me off, sometimes, but then again being exposed to it helps me be more efficient in cases where I get lost in NiTi analysis paralysis. :laugh:

Se, sometimes Ti. Te can be annoying sometimes but I'm able to utilize it better now

Ni makes me want to pull my pants down and moon gangsters.

Fe is draining because I have to repeat my desires without even brainstorming or analyzing to combat every possible angle of persuasion.

Si is draining because. Well, because it just is. Ugh. SEE?

Te and Ti aren't so much draining as they are disengaging, neutral and boring once they become either pedantic or obsessive.

Fi drains you!!! Buahahaha.

Se, then Fe. Sometimes Ne and Ti, but rarely.

Any function that's overused or inappropriately used.

Fi and Ti ...i think it's the subjective thing that does it...sometimes Si and Se.
