Physical abilities, or lack thereof, and socionics type influences
I know this sounds like Grof's Basic Perinatal Matrices but I mean it to be more intuitive i guess. I think I developed a reliance on intuition as a child because I have poor eyesight and I remember even as a child being teased by my family because I couldn't see what was right in front of me. Also, I think this made me become more of a thinker and may have influenced my lack of display of emotion because I never really saw people's facial expressions (when at a distance of more than 10ft or so) until I got glasses. I had to rely more on voice tone expressions to figure out what emotionns people were trying to relay. What do you guys think?
**EDIT**
@ CuriousSoul I was refering more to the :Fi: thing found here

The Grof's stuff sounds all pretty weird and the validity of any research methodology relying on the use of LSD seems dubious at best but I would still not dismiss the Perinatal Matrices entirely. I think reflections of the themes Grof detected can be found even among normal people and to some extent correlated with Socionics types.

:Fi: - One of INTj problems is that their facial expressions and demeanour do not always reflect their real feelings. This often leads others to think of INTjs as cold and distant people. INTjs also tend to loose contact with people that they have made emotional connections with.

Yes, but even this follows largely from the Type of Information Metabolism. INTJs are innately less aware of how they come across and what kind of expression they may have at any given moment. Of course it is also an ability you can develop, though I think it is generally not that important for reasonable adults.
