While it's true, we do have a number of fabulous qualities (high intelligence, easy grasp of theoretical concepts, unusual independence of mind etc) some things about being an N dom just suck. cases in point:
- struggling to stay focused on anything external
- feeling drained by doing anything that you don't thoroughly enjoy (I'm sure other types can sympathize with this one, but I feel like it's particularly apparent in N doms)
- you have all these wonderful theories and concepts, but implementing them is SO hard sometimes
- constantly missing details that end up being the death of you
- trouble doing anything consistantly (seriously, I have no idea how SJs do this)
- being constantly bothered by anything that you don't thoroughly understand, especially if it's something you have to do
- seldom being able to talk to anyone who isn't like to everything you say
- not being able to be happy living a simple life. I feel like in general the ideal lifestyle of an N type is going to be much more expensive than an S type.
- needing absolute freedom in all areas of your life in order to be happy
- being clumsy and uncoordinated
- people misinterpreting everything you say (even other Ns a lot of the time)
- having to work much longer hours than you're comfortable with (again, I feel all the types can probably relate to this, but I feel like it has a bigger impact on N doms. correct me if you think I'm wrong)
