Catastrophysing "N"

I hate Catastrophysing "N".
Those of you amongst my readers if there are any and who have the "N" preference will probably not relate to the above title
"N" for you is brilliant, a flood of positive ideas, a veritable feast for the mind but for those of us with a penchant and preference for "S", the "N" can only bring doom, gloom and a prediction for disaster.
For example if a member of my family is late for a meeting with me, they are not merely delayed by traffic etc, they are dead or dying in a ditch somewhere.
I do not just wait for them to call, I have already planned the funeral, the hymns, the guest list etc
It doesn't help that I am a kind of glass half empty kind of gal anyway
I try to read the Dalai Lamas instruction and enjoy each day as it is, instead of looking forward or backwards but it is still incredibly difficult
So those of you brimming with positive exciting ideas, spare a thought for those of us with Catastrophysing "N" !

Living with an INTJ

Living with an INTJ is like living with Mr Spock from Star Trek. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, in fact most of the time it's great.
My INTJ doesn't say "I love you" every day because he's said it once and since it hasn't changed, why would he need to say it again!
It's a fact and doesn't need reiterating all the time.
Initially I found this hard to cope with (being an F) but over time I find it of great comfort.
My previous husband said "I love you" almost every day but didn't actually mean it.
So don't make your INTJ express flowery emotion all the time, just accept the fact that he/she loves you and enjoy it.

Introversion

Being an introvert, I find it difficult being with extroverts, especially when I am on holiday
As an introvert I prefer to be just by myself or with my husband.
I find it difficult to talk to strangers and am exasperated by some extroverts who insist on coming over and talking at you.
They think that you are bored, lonely, lost etc etc...
Actually I am ok and happy to be left alone.

Initial musings
