Do you look like a Feeler when you're immersed in loving feelings?...
I do and have felt all of the above. It's the display that differs. Outwardly I take practical action: volunteer, assist, donate, promote etc. My emotional reactions are often internalized or released in private.Originally Posted by sparkles
Thinkers feel, Feelers think.
I don't mean emotional displays, I mean comments or actions that reveal those sorts of priorities.
Thinkers feel, feelers think. I like that - could you elaborate?
I don't talk much about my thoughts on social injustice. I'm better at doing stuff, so I do stuff.
My actions tend to be behind-the-scenes and pretty low-key. I've mostly stuck with paperwork over the years: professional assistance, research, petitions, fundraising.
Natural preference in one area doesn't translate to stunted growth in all other areas. Thinkers do experience emotions intensely. Feelers do think logically. Humans are simply equipped to do both.Thinkers feel, feelers think. I like that - could you elaborate?
I suspect that IRL people tend to be more well-rounded in average than we'd think. Type differences are bound to be more emphasized on a site devoted to personality type theories. PerC users are not a good representative sample to begin with, and I think youthful inexperience sometimes leads people to accept oversimplified misconceptions.
Sometime, the last part especially a lot.I always try to see the best in others, I think it might be my tritype (593). I don't look like a feeler from what my family say, like I'm always thinking and sometime "sour" when I'm nonchalant. You can always tell when I'm thinking though……a need to see the best in others, etc.?
There ya go.

I would expect people to be more well-rounded. MBTI and suchlike would be what we are comfortable showing the world/how we interact with the world, rather than being a box that we are completely locked inside. This explains the (very rare) times that I've shown compassion towards others.

I am very squeamish about real life medical situations. I want to get as far away as possible from any gruesome scene. The human body is fascinating but it is also strange in some way to me. I used to like the most gruesome horror fiction and films you could imagine (less so now) but real life situations like that are too much. Not blood really, but stuff like severed limbs, organs and pain. Sometimes I think how much money I could make if I could be a nurse, but it would be out of the question.
Yes and no.
I cannot tolerate blood/medical gore/horror movies where people get slashed/etc. I get nightmares, and let me tell ya, they're intensely vivid and I feel everything.
I love animals and was really upset that some of the baby bats in our attic died before the wildlife expert could come. I don't keep pictures of previous pets because they remind me how much I still miss them.
I love my immediate-family/friends and would do anything to help them. I'm automatically nice towards everyone and I can't count how many times people have told me I'm "sweet".
But at the same time I can read/watch things about real life torture, rape, genocide, etc without batting an eye. When 9/11 happened I didn't feel anything, really. People die everyday in other parts of the world and I kept wondering why these people being Americans should somehow make me care more about them.
I don't think of it as being ruthless as much as not wasting what little empathy I have on situations I can't do anything about.
I can identify with much of what you said here. I love murder mysteries where they find the creep who did it as long as the shooting scenes aren`t too graphic. That is not entertaining to me in the least. I hate seeing people fall over shot and will go take a break and come back after its over. If the whole stinking show is something my husband likes such as love triangles,war and tearful scenes...or cartoons I can`t do it..barf.
911 had me feeling numb. I didn`t cry or get upset but I had the same reaction as the Japanese Tsunami and that was just numbness. I wondered,"What is the world coming too?" I thought,"Is this for real?" I was ok until they started showing the people missing loved ones and then I had to turn the channel. There was nothing I could do to help them and since I couldn`t act on what would be in my nature to do something for them it was easier to find out what happened and get off the TV. All I could Do was donate to the Red Cross.
It's weird for me. If it's fake, I don't have a problem because I know it's fake and any subject matter doesn't really phase me. After all, I do like horror films and metal is one of my favorite genres of music. It's more likely to have an effect if it's something that actually happens. This is more likely to happen if it affects me on a more personal level.
On another note I personally hate needles. It's the reason why I don't get medical shots or anything like that. It's been a problem for me since I was little. If I see a needle get close to me, I begin to panic. It's that sensitivity that might give off a little bit of a feeler vibe.
