I couldn't say we are more conflicted than most types, but yes, I think ISTPs can be very prone to the types of conflicts you mentioned. I definitely relate to your list. When I'm stressed, stuck between options/decisions, or not sure what direction I'm headed, I feel like a walking contradiction. If I put my Se out there, however, I can reel in enough data for my Ti to make use of, and pull myself out of whatever rut I'm in. It's the lack of data that puts me in the stressed out form of Ti + Ni. If it gets bad enough, I get pretty desperate for that data. At my worst, I overshare with people in attempt to get a rise out of them to get the input I need.
So, based on my own history, I'm going to take a guess and say you're feeling a little stressed right now -- at least enough to make a thread (in attempt for more data/input)? If you are stressed, I'd recommend really putting in some effort to use Se more. Live in the present. Shut off Ti if it gets out of hand, and just Se it up. Pause, then think and describe: "What do I smell, taste, touch, feel, and see?" It's a method of relaxation I use, to pull myself out of my head and into my present environment.
