How do you experience your hidden agenda

[ashlesha]

I feel weirdly comforted and taken care of by Ti. I know it's weird but I sometimes experience someone taking the time to explain something to me as a kind of respect and kindness, lol.

I experience Ti information as something that provides a container for or quells my anxieties and emotions. Sometimes it quells my anxiety by providing me with a good objective reason why I'm feeling a certain way. Once I see the reason, the emotion sometimes goes away.

When you talk about ti it reminds me of my own perception of and reactions to te.

What does that look like, exactly? Someone sharing a lot of information/facts? Perhaps something relevant to what you want to achieve, or that'll help you deal with a minor or major setback?

somebody sharing information that is related to whatever i'm struggling with. not necessarily an answer in and of itself but its knowledge that empowers me to come up with an answer and helps me feel more in control and aware of whats going on.

wouldn't that be empowering to anyone? if I'm trying to solve some problem or puzzling over something (often relationship fallouts) and someone else comes along and gives me useful information and tips, that would certainly empower me to better handle the problem and find the answers that I was looking for.

anyone who has sought advice on a forum has used this approach, so what makes this specific to Te?

lol, good question. i suppose it has to do with the nature of the information that is found helpful. when advice is asked for, the kinds of advice given varies a lot. Te information i would describe as referencing observable facts or data.

the first part of your answer was good but the second is something i'm still skeptical about.

"Te information i would describe as referencing observable facts or data." - wouldn't anyone with a set of two working eyes be able to tell you about something they have observed (i.e. provide you with observable facts)? couldn't someone who doesn't value Te log to pubmed or springerlink and email you an article or an empirical study? or does it take Te to notice this type of information? i not trying to be intrusive with all these questions but i'm looking to resolve some socionics snafus and learn more about how information elements work so any feedback is appreciated.

i'm distracted but i want to answer this later. the questions aren't intrusive. i like how they make me think.

That's actually kind of awesome. I guess it's funny how different people are just equipped to handle/ respond in the same way to totally different kinds kinds of information.
