Making a new thread to avoid a derail.
From "What Pisses You Off About ESTJs?":
^ 100% true in my experience. And the flip side of the coin is that it alienates ESTJs from everyone else, and can (but does not always) keep them from forming real, healthy relationships, with open communication.
How can we (i.e. ESTJs) address this imbalance? Is it possible? How can we better engage with people on their level?
From "What Pisses You Off About ESTJs?":
Their discomfort with emotion can cause problems in how I relate to them. They find vulnerability really difficult and sometimes can unwittingly try to maintain the upper hand as a means of self protection. They are great teachers, but find it really difficult to accept help or comfort from other people. As colleagues or acquaintances, it's no problem, but for closer relationships it creates an imbalance that I dislike.
