But we CAN read minds ya know ...
I think the trouble occurs when an NF can't really figure out what the issue is when one is sensed
and therefore tries to extrapolate or speculate based on their own filters, their own experiences. That's the error.
That being said, I have learned to trust intuition because it is folly to ignore messages received in the first place. I don't want to post the many examples I have of such occasions, so you'll have to take my word on that.
Amargith, you have really held in here to try to explain intuition & empathy and for that I send you
AS-one, you can't intellectualize everything, so it is folly to try to dissect this further. But I do believe you are trying to understand, and that is admirable.
So ya, let's hope this thread drifts off, not to be resurrected again.
