Thinkers have repressed emotional sides until matured. This can evolve anywhere from teens to 90. Meaning some continue to repress their emotional side and lack maturity their whole lives.
Conversely
Feelers have repressed their thinking side until matured. This again means the same as above, without maturity their emotions override their ability to think rationally. There is after all rational logic and irrational logic as much as rational emotions and irrational emotions and everything in between.
The misunderstanding then applies to how much ego pride and shame there is to begin with, as a human condition, our psyche absorbs a certain amount of stimuli and experiences according to the ramifications of our culture. and our cultures, be it society or family. Which tends to be geared to mainstream sensory logic which again is different to intuitive logic.
Having said that I think mature thinkers are excellent to know, their ability to comprehend more than just logical stimuli on a level that isn't undermining the importance of their feelings and emotions are wise and able to then understand a significant proportion of how people interact and treat each other without clinically trying to create thought fields that justify the behaviour as irrational. The interesting aspect for me is that both rational and emotional aspects of thinking and feeling tend to have patterns that have a consistency about them. What some infer to as chaos and order is like taking a block of wood and painting it black and white. Limited rational, limited emotional, creating a deficit in functional thinking. Without taking into account that as the world isn't flat but rounded, neither are feelings flat but rounded. This of course gets into all kinds of paradoxes, quandaries and the like, when the misunderstood implication behind how our minds react to emotional stimuli go back to how our minds work.
For even thinkers react emotionally without thinking on every level, be it with an oversimplification that is less cluttered sometimes. However, it is when testing the association you have against plants, animals and other people that the reactions are most notable. For those that are guarded, are the most emotionally repressed and tend to exaggerate the most their claim of avoiding emotions.
So far my real life experiences with thinkers has been negative, having family members who are TJ. They are completely closed off from their feelings, so much so that to bring it up is illogical, a deep fury is seen in their eyes with word mention love. It is something that appears to have been omitted from their vocabulary and to bring up and explore the topic of emotions in conversation is deemed illogical and dismissed.
Yet when the other cheek hits a nerve why do I need to listen to their critical thinking and engage them in conversation if they choose to ignore mine. I certainly speak my mind sometimes and end up being called illogical when they misunderstand my perspective. Especially when it actually overrides some of their own logic, it scares them. Because as you know the a TJ's issue is the tendency to be correct at all times, anything else is deemed irrational, while respected from thinkers deemed just about useless when coming from feelers.
In general I do appreciate ST and NT minds, makes me think and that is what our minds are meant to do, think and feel through our thoughts and emotions.
