All of it. Then it shattered and my all expanded. I could smell, touch, hear, taste the...|||TBH.... I would think that most people are mean when they are at their WORST.

I feel like Fi & Ti are particular about having precision. Both are about REDEFINING concepts...|||I've been dating my INTJ for close to 4 years now - it's the longest relationship I've been in and the most compatible by far.   To start with the sorrows. 1) we have different communication...|||Quite a bit of this reminded me of my boyfriend, who is IMO an INTJ (bolded similarities above).
