What is wrong with being idealistic? Where is this magical line when you cross over to become too idealistic? And if these lists aren't meant to be taken literally, does it really matter if they are idealistic or not?
I'd say your post illustrates the point I was trying to make earlier about how I see this as a classic S / N miscommunication.
The NFs are dismayed that the Ss are getting so upset over a frolic. The Ss think the Ns are so up in the clouds that they aren't being realistic... and this up in the clouds (aka holier than thou / aka stuck up / aka not in touch reality) aspect of NF behavior really chaps their S fannies.
OK. So what. Seems like no big deal to me if you look at things this way.
Why can't we all agree that Ss and Ns see things differently and then choose to see the best in the other's way of seeing the world. You Ss could use a little more idealism. We Ns could use a little more Ss grounding in reality.
Seems like the only real faux pas is to be too extreme in either direction.
Seems like anything else is pointless and fruitless.
Has it occurred to you that prpl and I are Ns who are more balanced on S who are pointing out that you guys aren't balanced enough on N/S?
I think that's a real possibility here.
