If I'm depressed, or in a rut, I appreciate someone close to me like my SO or a good friend trying to tug me out of it. Often straight reasoning won't do the trick, and it takes a pep talk or even shame session that appeals to my own ideals and how badly I'll feel later if I don't get off my rear and move on. Not sure if this counts as emotional manipulation, but it is the closest thing I will tolerate, and only from people who know me well. Otherwise it either goes over my head and I parse the manipulation attempt as a Te input, or I recognize it for what it is and shut it down pronto.
I'm at least as old as andante, and can assure you there are plenty of NTJs who both plan and act. It's why our actions tend to be so effective.Because I am 28 years old and I can tell you that those people who plan carefully never come to action and those people who are the action never plan carefully
