This new thread in the personal-thread-section was inspiring me. So, let's talk about behavior and about misunderstandings with other types.
For me it's really hard to find common ground with the FP-types. When I see them act, they seem too irrational for me, too emotional in situations, where I cannot work with strong emotions. And it really depends on type, because with Ts I normally don't have this problems. With older or very healthy FPs this problem isn't existent, but especially the younger ones are hard to handle for me.
I reflected about the situations, I met in my life, and I recognize, that I cannot work with Fi. Up to now. Experiences:
ESFPs: Getting emotional, somewhat hysterical, and react in a very very loud way on critique (the same critique a T-type took very objectively)
ENFPs: Confusing, wild, no consistency in relationship-aspects of life, big fluctuation of moods, emotional manipulation
ISFPs: Sometimes seem to have a "silent aggression" by unknown reason, which shows in avoiding even constructive interactions
INFPs: Avoiding (not really a big problem, but also an annoying one)
All in all I seem to have problems to understand their "thinking", to know about the aspects, which make their mood change and about the amount of change, an (for me) small event can make. So I come to underrate it, and that lets me walking into the cutter.
Questions for the other NTs:
1. Did you experience the same? Did you also have/had problems dealing with that?
2. How can I solve this?
