    Is this a sp-last type thing?

    I find that I don't really pay attention when a room is too hot or too cold, for instance. Often, someone else has to say something before I even notice.
    I find that I can neglect a lot of my own physical needs for a long time because that isn't what I'm focused on..I am very other-focused, whether it is in a friendly way or in a competitive way.
    I worry a lot about what others think about me but can completely not be bothered by physical needs..for instance, it doesn't bother me if I'm feeling hungry or feeling tired..I barely notice it..I'll get food or sleep eventually.
    On the other hand, I go all out with anxiety/frustration when someone I care about is mad at me for something or I suspect that there is something I did that they didn't like..that's something I can't stop focusing on..I have trouble concentrating/functioning on whatever else I have to do until that problem is resolved.

    makes sense, it's definitely not an Sp first thing LOL
    I'd be the one telling you "it's cold in here" or "you don't have any food in your house other than ramen noodles, let's go out to eat"
    as for other people, I really don't think about them at all unless they're very close friends or I'm attracted to them. for the most part, I kinda just brush them off "silly humans". strong Fe is probably at work here too

    Yeah I don't care about a lot of the stuff either.

    I'm not sure about the Sp bit, but I know it's related to inferior Si. Your exact phrasing is an example of why Si is important to the Ne dominants. It reminds Ne users to slow down on the idea chasing side, and to take a look at your own needs and physical sensations. When Ne dominants "get in the grip" of Si they will completely zone out and become couch potatoes - storing loads of sensory data.

    Well, as sp-dom, I would eventually make a remark on how uncomfortable the temperature of an environment is. I really am sp-dom (sheesh). My comfort and safety are paramount to most anything else despite the fact that I don't fully feel in my body often enough, but still.

    I think it also has a some to do with Id (3s, 7s and 8s) vs Superego (1s, 2s and 6s). superego types are more service/others oriented while Id types are more self serving.

    Thanks for all the input!
    I think being a Superego type and an Ne dominant both play a large role too.
    I tend to be so focused on other things..and my ideas/work/friends.

    ...I basically never brushed my teeth until I realized I had a pretty serious case of gingivitis a few months ago. (I'm nearly 22.)

    I still only shower when I have to go out for something important, and only because I'm worried I'd bother other people if I didn't.

    I've never made any of my own medical or dental appointments, and I resist my family's attempts to make them. They seem like a waste of time. When I thought I might have developed an infection after having my blood drawn, I decided to take a "wait and see" approach... Again, doing otherwise would have been a waste of time.

    I've never had a proper job because I'd sooner starve than budge on my condemnation of capitalism.

    Oh, and I'm borderline anorexic. Eating, for me, is pretty much entirely One motivated--I have to be an exemplar of proper dietary habits.

    ...Yeah, sp is most assuredly dead last for me.

    Oh, also... @MrShatter: What if I like being this way?
