Ni Problems

misadventureswithintjs:

• Your friends get annoyed when you predict what will happen in a movie, including the ending.
  
• Knowing something and not knowing how you know it 
  
• Getting annoyed and confused when someone jumps from one unrelated topic to another 
  
• You’re constantly inside of your head. It’s not surprising for you to zone out and lose your sense of self and the physical reality
  
• Planning is a necessity. You just don’t do spontaneity.
  
• You love metaphors and symbolism. Ooo do you think that represents the relationship between this and this??? Whoa! Guess what, nobody actually cares nearly as much about this as you do.
  
• You remember exactly how you felt at an event and what impression it made on you but you can’t for the life of you remember the color of the walls, what food was served there, or the name of anyone you met
  
• As far as planning goes, everyone else is 5,000 steps behind you. The problem? Nobody seems to care about catching up.
  
• You cannot live in the moment. You cannot.
  
• You’re an unforgiving perfectionist. You have an immaculate vision of how you’d like things to be but you fail to realize it’s an unrealistic goal, so you will always feel mildly dissatisfied with whatever you do
  
• Having an incredible epiphany in the middle of nowhere with nowhere to write it down, and nobody to tell
  
• Liking a movie or book simply because it actually did something you couldn’t predict. Doesn’t matter if the rest of it was shit– you are impressed.
  
• One of your predictions turns out wrong and you are confused and angry at yourself.
  
• You know that something will come to an end, and everyone keeps telling you “Just enjoy it while it lasts”. But you can’t. You’re always thinking about the endpoint. You’d love more than anything to just enjoy it while it lasts but that is just not how you work. While that end is not even close to arriving yet, you’re already thinking about how you will deal with it when it’s over.
  
• You are reluctant to watch trailers to movies because you can fill in the gaps between all of the scenes– after viewing a trailer, you feel like you’ve watched the entire movie.
  
• You dislike someone and you have no idea why (hint: You unconsciously processed their body language). You are frustrated because everyone else seems to like them, but you can’t explain why you dislike them so you just keep your mouth shut until that person inevitably ends up being a douchebag and you don’t even have the satisfaction of saying “I knew it” because to everyone else it will just seem like hindsight bias
  
• When you’re an Ni-dom and you have to deal with the alienating “super psychic special snowflake unicorn” stereotype. You do not feel special. You are just you.
