With regards to human interaction I will let thinking override feeling purely to avoid being vulnarable or possibly making a fool of myself. Potentially expressed emotions(that heaven forbid! could possibly bring softness to the situation) gets suppressed by very strong thinking/rationalization of why it would be stupid to express these emotions.

I usually plan things. On the rare occassion I let my feelings override my plan I experience guilt afterward. And then I feel I have to go back to the beginning of the plan.

I apologize if this isn't the sort of response you were looking for.

No, i understand that makes sense...
so is it safe to say that ISTJ's tend to feel guilty so they try not to feel that way?

I can't speak for anyone else but that is true for me.

Guilty feelings are a major hook for my ISTJ.

I was just about to say that I feel guilt very strongly. Maybe it's Fi, inward-pointing emotion?

It would be nice if someone could explain this.

Explain what? Keep in mind that I may just be talking "out of my rear".

No, you're 'rear's' doing just fine....

I was talking about ISTJ's guilt issues. It seems like a few of us agree on this.
