I wonder if this has to do with my lower functions as Se, but... am I the only one who struggles with explaining things to people? Do you ever wish you didn't have to articulate at all, but just send thoughts and feelings to people?
For some reason, especially when I'm really tired, I want to express my displeasure of the world, or describe a certain memory, and I feel like words don't do it justice. Instead, I lose patience and just wish I could send all these thoughts to a person via telekinesis. Like it would be easier than all the talking we have to do with people (and as I type this, I find it ironic, for I love to write and describe words on paper, LOL)....thoughts? Similarities???
Please tell me I'm not alone in this ;-)

I find that it's more to the judging functions, Ti and Fi (and by extension, their accompanying functions Se and Ne) seem to have to have more difficulty giving some kind of coherent structure to their explanation / organizing them in a more linear fashion that can be more easily understood by others, because Ti and Fi are functions that work subjectively by creating personalized definitions/understandings/takeaways to begin with.
