    actually i think the OP could describe me. i can get irritated regarding little things that are a hassle that i wish would just be dealt with and go away rather than having to struggle so much with them. i've been described as "whiny" for the most part so my expression of anger may come out pathetically. i can't really tell how forceful my anger is. but generally the things most likely to upset and frustrate me can be things like having to carry an awkward object with me and not knowing what to do with it but i feel i must keep track of it so it's a constant irritation in the background... or trying to open something... or something that is a long tedious process where i'm likely to mess up on every other step because of the degree of detailed perfection needed not to mess it up. people have described me as meek and timid before but i think it's important to know that i have another side that is less so.

    coincidentally, i've been getting so irritated with my own irritation over such things that i've begun trying to reorient myself... i think such small things are the bane of existence, but more importantly they are absolutely unimportant to me in the grand scheme of existence. they are not worth my emotions really.

    this *had* reminded me of my dad until i realized i hadn't read the entire OP. i think it's still worth mentioning even though he could never come across as meek.

     
    my dad was a lot like this and i typed him SLI. i wouldn't describe him as ever seeming butthurt though in any fashion. he came across a little as the "strong silent type" and would rarely reveal vulnerability. with Si dominant, supposedly their ignoring comes out in private. in my dad's case he was explosively angry about quite a few things in life, but would keep a stopper on it in public. most people who knew him publicly never saw it at all. SLI can sometimes even have a warm public face i've observed that hides their internal negative feelings (which may be intense).

    he also would often get angry about things not working or functioning properly - which could make sense in that might supposedly be very aware of how things function, how they work, how they *should* be functioning. he would become very irritable and frustrated if something wasn't working, and could get explosively angry in response.

    i don't know if all dominants have such a powerful and forceful use of the ignoring function. my dad could be very intimidating, controlling and overpowering. and it was often about things like someone else not doing something the right way (or that might be what started it).

    although frankly i think the OP could describe me much better. i can get irritated regarding little things that are a hassle that i wish would just be dealt with and go away rather than having to struggle so much with them. i've been described as "whiny" for the most part so my expression of anger may come out pathetically. i can't really tell how forceful my anger is. but generally the things most likely to upset and frustrate me can be things like having to carry an awkward object with me and not knowing what to do with it but i feel i must keep track of it so it's a constant irritation in the background... or trying to open something... or something that is a long tedious process where i'm likely to mess up on every other step because of the degree of detailed perfection needed not to mess it up.
