My feelings matter to me; I just don't expect them to lay claim to the rest of the world.

But yes, I agree with teslashock, you must earn them first.

Finally an honest T! ;)

You mean there must be good reasoning behind the feelings before they're worthy of consideration?

I think my Dad is a T (ISTJ I think) he is inappropriate and offensive all the time but when he should be offensive (when being pestered by telemarketers etc.) all of a sudden he is Mr Politeness, what's the deal with that?

Yes. Otherwise, they're probably trying to emotionally manipulate you. And we can't have that, can we?

When telemarketers call for me, I say: "I'm sorry, but he died last week."
That fixes their ass, fast. :D

No, not really, I just wrote what you wanted to see. :unsure:

Yes and a bit no, I mean that you must be an emotionally close person to me, to hear me talking about my deepest feelings and understanding of the world and people, but still they will be described in a logical and I would like to say also pretty objective way. But at the same time, if smth annoys me really badly I will show it. There's also no problem to see that I'm happy, because I talk and show how happy I am. BUT, I think we would never talk publicly about our deepest feelings and how we feel about other people, especially the ones we like or love.

And your father, he just tries to be objective.

hmmmm.... I'd rather eat a large live snake than talk about my feelings, really, but it doesn't mean that they aren't important in life

for instance, the feeling of excitement that you get when you're playing with a new idea

or feeling turned on :devil:

or feeling bored, which is bad :(

They do matter, feelings make people make bad desisions which in turn causes me to profit

It just sounds like he is being soft. Hard when it's easy, easy when it's hard. Feelings matter but at the end of the day leverage matters more. That's just the way that is. Everybody has their thing...

You know? I am F but the world is T. For the most part anyway. I don't know, I'm kind of rambling but wanted to say something.
