Oh why not, let's resurrect this. The INFJ one recently got the treatment, so why not the thinking version, mm?
Today I got into a fight with my mom, a strong-willed INT. I'm not writing this because I got in a fight with my mom. If you're reading this thinking, she just wants to rant and is upset because she couldn't avoid the fight or was immature, it's not that. It's called I'm tired of fighting the crap she attempts to feed me.
She's emotional. Hella. Like stop, am I offending you? Did I wreck your plan? Oh no, now you'll have to put laundry away at 7:48 instead of 7:28, life's balls sweatie tm
She always seems to know when I'm criticizing her. I wouldn't be surprised if she knew I was writing this. I have no privacy, and she doesn't care to give it to me. She thinks every personal detail about her is secret, even her name. She's surprised when strangers know her name, and tries her best to get them to drop it. If you're thinking now that she's mentally ill, it's likely. But she's also INJ, and mean.
I won't let one bad experience with INTJs cloud my experience of them, but this certainly has left a mark. I've tried everything to get her to listen to me, to change her plans (because they stress her out - if that's the case, why follow them? It's fruitless!), try to change her point of view, explain myself clearly in every manner possible. Granted, in the past I wasn't up for this kind of thing but I changed of my own accord, and knowing she wouldn't notice, I still went ahead and bettered myself. This still doesn't impress her in the least, and only recently have I received the comment, "You're mature now. Doing adult things."
What drives me nuts about INJs is there's always miles and miles of subtext beneath every comment, more than any other type. There's subtext in every human interaction, but since they have Ni, they go straight for the jugular with symbolism and are offended if you don't get it, or even if you do. There's no winning.
When she argues, she argues hard and with no mercy, none - if I'm wrong, she will slice through my logic until I barely have a brain cell left to think with, and somewhere, she'll think she's clever. She even says to me, "I'm bigger than you. I'm smarter than you." I realize that's stereotypically INTJ and even sometimes I doubt her type, but the way she barrels through logic and just destroys people with sarcasm can't be anything else. At this point I've stopped fighting her, but I have sensitive emotions too. I get hurt easily, and whether that's a bad or a good thing, I can't tell. But the more she continues to roll over my feelings, the more dirt I'll have on her.
Today she wondered if I consider how she felt about things. I said yes, "I do, just not right now." Apparently that wasn't the correct answer. "You don't," she said firmly, looking me in the eye with the offense of a thousand suns. And and this point I wonder, why should I? If you're so complex and deep, you're not worth fighting for. Go use your Ni somewhere else, like a daycare where you can manage all the kids and turn them into soldiers. I'm sure they'll appreciate that symbolism wuwuwuwuwu
