I guess I realized I have a particular problem. I don't know what to do with art. Whether it's film, fiction, or music.
I guess I feel that when I find something I like, I can't help but trying to pull it apart with Ti. It occured to me that this might interfere with me appreciating it fully. It seems likely to me that it could be that Ti is the function that is the worst suited to this sort of thing.
For instance, I really like things that are pretty surrealistic. I just watched this weird movie about Bob Dylan, and I found myself to analyze the whole thing I was watching, trying to figure out what each thing was "symbolic" of, instead of just trying to watch the movie as it stood. I was trying to figure out what each part meant. (although this could be more Ne than Ti).
Anyway, I was wondering which function is best suited for dealing with this kind of thing. Is it completely erroneous, as I'm beginning to suspect, to use Ti for such a thing?
Might I not be better off using F, S, or N when it comes to experiencing art? I hope this makes some kind of sense.
