In the past i thought being an ISTJ is insensitive & cold blooded person ...but now I feel better,because I am what i am ,,,and its all about the art to communicate to others around me.(my sister ENFJ,my mom INFP & my daughter ENTP),so being around N people sometimes a bit frustrating ,they accused me of nag & impation,,,,
Don't think like that. You know that you're not insensitive or cold-blooded, which is what matters. It is frustrating that if you don't openly show much emotion people assume that you don't feel anything. It's not very nice that your family have been labelling you like that, but you're part of their family so I'm sure they know deep down that you're not insensitive. Sometimes others are too quick to express their emotions, and perhaps they were too rash in stating those opinions without thinking how it might hurt you. I get it with my family too, so I understand the grief.
ISTJs show their appreciation of people in ways that others might not understand, like helping them to get stuff done or encouraging people in subtle ways. We're just private people who prefer to let our emotions out when we are alone. Nothing wrong with that!
