    Default Si

    What's wrong with my Si and how can I fix it?
    I wonder sometimes if it's just god's way of playing tricks on me. Sometimes, when I'm craving ice cream, I find myself getting sushi instead. Ice Cream > Sushi??? Other times, I know I'm hungry or I don't know that I'm hungry, I really don't know what I'm feeling or what I'm feeling up for or up to. I can't tell if I need rest or work, or if I need food or a hug. I just don't get what I'm feeling inside or what I'm feeling it for...It just doesn't make sense to me. The logic of Si doesn't make sense to me. Can anyone help me fix it?

    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. 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 don't understand your problem. If you want ice creams, stay with it and then you will soon have an icez cream in your hand ready for the consumption.

    I want many things, I just don't know what I'm feeling for wanting...does that make sense, like it's all converging, ice cream, hug, food, tea, sushi, steak, pasta, salad, wine, cheese, pizza, so many things, it all converges into confusion...how do I sort it all out and pick one.

    Well, you could test them all out and see what you like best at a certain time. I would just focus on sweet and tasty things if you are hungry, and go for hugs if you need something physical.

    that's probably it, I don't know or can't tell if I need sweet/food/tasty or physical, I tried it on my own to sort of have a schedule of eating, tasting, whatever, but couldn't keep up with it for long because other feelings kinda got in the way and it just fell apart

    Te-Pick best available methods
    Ti-Pick best available systems

    Systems fail because I ignor them once they are in place and opt for Fi, my personal values drive my understanding of how things should go and be.


    Extraverted logic is also called Processual or Practical Logic.

    It estimates everything in terms of efficiency: not abstract analysis, but "how to make it work?", and not systems, but methods. They are energetic, active, and mobile. As scientists, they are strong in improvement of methods, but often they choose a business career. However, people who work together with them, often blame these types of being "too dry, cold-hearted", even in spite of their high emotionality. In general, this type of thinking may be called “algorithmic”.



    Introverted logic is also called Systematic Logic, or Structural Logic.

    This type of logic is inertial. Instead of “making things work” , it rather focuses on elimination of contradictions, on systematization, or in more general meaning – on “justice” (if it only exists). The types for which this function is dominant are often not too energetic, they are rather stable-mooded, work without noticeable “falls” and “rises”, logical and reticent in their sayings and deeds. On the one hand, other people respect them for being “just”, for their cold and sober analysis of situations; on the other, they do not “feel people” well.

    Ryu fixed it by essentially saying that I need to go with someone else's lead on Si...that I am indecisive with Si matters.

    Over and out? That's a contradiction! Over means "End Transmission, expecting response." Out means "End Transmission, not expecting response."

    Over.

    My advice to you would be to meditate. When you meditate, you get more in touch with your base physical senses. They come alive again. Like most internet message board goers you probably have an over-active mind and you think too much in concepts and stuff. It's not that your mind is the enemy or anything, you're just over-using it.

    Maybe it is related to low blood sugar, and not to Si.

    I used to have problems with strange cravings in the afternoon after lunch, but I didn't know what I wanted, and nothing worked. I tried water, coffee, candy, food, nothing helped.
