Something that I have noticed on this forum is that some Ts are much more open/warm/trusting than others, some more social, etc and often this is explained away by extraversion or saying they are more balanced on T/F or were socialized to be emotional because of being female...
But it appears sometimes that there are people who are using the Thinker banner to excuse away things that might actually be caused by not trusting people, being afraid to give and receive love, self-loathing, low self-esteem, or abusive behavior to others that is most likely caused by some emotional source, not just because they're being level and rational.
I know there is a difference and that Thinkers are just more rational and decide with their head instead of their heart, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about "normal" intellectual detachment or being straight-forward instead of using flowery, emotional speech. I'm talking about people who are so distant or mean that I suspect it not because of being a Thinker.
Thoughts?
