    No. Ni polr worry about time because it's their polr and they watch time the actual watch or the clock but they don't like it when someone tries to make them more timely. NiTe types are like bossy bossy about people being places in time so they will interrupt their lunch or rush a person, reminding them that they have a 9 o'clock with a client or a dentist and will manage time and timely affairs for someone. LSE have hits and misses with time but mostly they show up early early or late. They don't really manage time well.

    You just made a stereotype without knowing the facts. OMG you're crazy. Please stop typing

The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    I always have my phone on me so the only point to me having a watch would be fashion basically

    I would like to throw my phone in the water especially when I'm with someone I love and not look at it. I just want to listen to someone I care about talk about deep stuff.

    No.

    I've tried wearing watches in the past, but it inevitably ends up with the watch being carried around in my pocket, and then the strap somehow breaks despite me not wearing it. I tend to time my actions quite precisely, and do not tend to need to refer to the time so much (especially if it is visible out in the open in many places).

    With something like a watch or a ring, they feel rather like nooses around the neck or chains around the hands and legs: rather unnatural feeling. It is also likely that any watch would fall apart or be worn away. The appeal of wearing such a thing as a matter of routine seems unappealing to me.

    Yeah, I didn't think people actually still wore watches to tell the time. I wear them strictly as an accessory. I've never even wound this one up, lol ..but my god it's beautiful.

    It may be that only people my age (30s) and older wear them to tell the time, lol
