Two questions:
How do you feel when you hear this phrase?
Do you think there are types that are most prone to using this phrase?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To answer the first question, the phrase makes me want to cringe even though it may be true in some cases. I feel like all sense of hope has been shattered. Sometimes it can feel like someone saying it is trying to minimize the issue, especially when it's something important to me. I guess hearing the phrase really bothers me because I am so driven to improve the situation and find solutions.
I think people of all types use the phrase. I know I've been guilty of it even though I hate it when people say it to me. I only say it in situations though when I believe I have exhausted all options after a careful consideration. I suppose SJ types might be a little more prone to it. I'm guessing it's due to the inferior Ne so they might not see alternative possibilities as easily?
