I'm like an onion. I have layers. People don't care about what goes on in my life, if they did, they would ask. Why would I go around wearing my "heart on my sleeve" like an idiot? There are more important things to attend to that involve the great good!

Between having that attitude and the attitude of not wanting to burden someone else, that is why we are not expressive. Simply because it's not necessary. We are the guardians, not the guarded.

I'm impressed. You have the stoic side of the ISTJ down pat. Now to confront the dark side of the ISTJ lack of social interaction...

Why thank you, Niss. I'll take that as a compliment! By the way, I was supposed to say "greater good" not "great good" LOL! Hopefully you knew that though. I've had the stoic side down pat since childhood. I've learned that when things get crazy, it's better to step back, keep quiet, observe the situation/issue, then come up with a solution that efficiently benefits the common wealth- while still maintaining moral acceptability. It's the ISTJ way!

Nice post!

Hey! I don't make people cry! ...At least, not on purpose! Like I said, I'm a guardian of the greater goods' well being- including emotions. It's a tough job, lass, and sometimes things get messy! Most of the time, the messy part is prioritization!
