I find myself no longer tied to my Ti ideals and logical structure like a dog to a chain..
My obsession with clarity and accuracy of thought does no longer prevent me from trying to express myself...
I can easily go with the flow without feeling mortified at the thought of suspecting that I'd have to accuse myself of engaging in mindless conformity or being slightly unreflective..
I can easily carry on a discussion..regardless of how frivolous or casual and when arguing about ideas I can stay on the same wavelength as the other person and understand where they are coming from... not only their ideas but also their personal background and a variety of other things that come implicitly... basically... the big picture as a whole...
I can easily walk into new and awkward environments and feel entirely comfortable and knowing exactly how to act... what to say... how....when and to who..and what can be expected of that..
I can look well into the future and be confident in my estimations of what will happen as well as I know... I at times find myself understanding how my actions will make others feel and what I must do to smoothen things out after another tactless Ti blunder as well as know how to handle situations diplomatically..and how to resolve/avoid an impending/incoming conflict...as well as I now know how to explain what I am thinking to just about anyone..regardless of whether they are interested in all of these esoteric abstractions that I am fascinated or that they are an XNTP or that they understand how the mind of an INTP works..in short I am not stuck in my head any longer..
And I could hold my own in just about any discussion..regardless of how crowded it is or how many observers there are (this used to freak me out a ton earlier on) without alienating the other person or the audience because I can just adapt so easily... --of course I cant do this very proficiently... as you will see that I've alienated my audience and my debating partner many times on this site...yet there have been situations just recently in my life where I've handled it well
I am not apprehensive about new encounters because for some reason that I dont understand (and I am ok with not understanding it) I have supreme confidence that I can handle them just fine and greatly enjoy all novelty...
I've become much more eclectic and my field of interests has enlarged greatly...and I can appreciate many of the things that I've before been indifferent or even antagonistic towards...
I no longer ponder and overanalyze people and their motives because I can get a better understanding now intuitively of them and the situation and I am no longer paranoid about their motives because I know whats going on and can actually start thinking about formulating a trust..
And the last but not least I can write not for the sake of exploring ideas... but for self-expression also and can well keep it on the personal level... second guess myself less frequently (for the sake of accuracy and clarity of thought)... and can write much more succinctly and convey my ideas to the full while having confidence that others will understand exactly what I have in mind..
What about you?
