I recall reading somewhere that for NT's, most specifically INTP's, sentimentality is more often tied to tangible places, things, and times in one's life, rather than to people one knew.
For example; the ambient noises, sights and architecture, smells, and other things you would associate with specifics places. The essence of what makes a concrete and memorable "location", if you will.
I find myself very attached to locations, even fairly mundane ones. I think my interest in urban exploration must be related somehow.
I can also name the first time I listened to any given album or song, saw a movie, played a video game, etc... I also relate very strongly to the specific time of the year when I did, seasonally speaking, and I often try to cyclically seek out the same media I've listened to at various points in the past. I'm currently going into kind of a "fall music" mood, for instance.
I've definitely noticed that particularly memorable media nearly always seems to evoke memories of the place and time when I first experienced it.
Ditto for other things like activities or foods, too.
Do you find this to be the case for yourself?
Do you think this is an NT phenomenon?
Am I just nuts?
