So a good example for me is that he would categorise different drugs (and by extension, drug users) but in ways that didn't make sense to me. To me, individual drugs are all their own thing and if you were to categorise them you could maybe do fun vs. not fun, or party drug vs. sit at home drug but really they're all different. But he would talk about them as though there were objectively good and bad drugs and I don't mean like weed vs. heroin but drugs that were similar to each other like weed (good) vs. tobacco (bad) or mushrooms (good) vs. acid (bad). And it was never "I prefer x to y" like I might say but "x is morally objectionable but y is fine". And he could explain why and to other people they seemed to understand what he saying but to me it just seemed like he was talking really unobjectively but acting like he had access to objective knowledge about the innate goodness and badness of different drugs. Or I just couldn't understand his reasoning and it all just seemed inane? Like why couldn't he just say he liked one and not the other? How could he use some illegal drugs but then judge people for using the ones he didn't like? Isn't that just personal preference (assuming all other things are equal - as in its recreational drug use, not addiction and no one is getting hurt)?Originally Posted by Myst
Ah that makes sense.
He could've been overly perfectionistic doing the tasks.
As for the last part: maybe his brain needed way more processing to be able to get somewhere. I don't like to just call people's stuff "complaining for the sake of complaining", though sure it can look a lot like that sometimes.
One more quick q: do you have examples of what "inane rules and categories" he had that you tried to pick apart? How did he react lool. Like I said, I know this IEE that keeps going against LSI stuff, he doesn't usually pick on anything concretely for me but it happened before, it was mildly annoying lol. If you have examples of how you expressed these criticisms, I could see if it's anything similar to that IEE. To add to your typing stuff.
I think my dad is LII and idk if this is a good example of Ti or just personal habits but he also has rules for how things around the house should function that I find a waste of time. So certain knives are for certain things (and again, not this is a fruit knife vs a meat knife, but this knife is for meat X whereas this one is for meat Y). The round baking tray is for pies only, clothes pegs should be matching, there is a general order to the day of when things should be done etc. whereas I'm more inclined to just do what's easiest rather than follow an order or system. Both Dad and bf like an orderliness about their lives that doesn't suit my more sporadic approach.
How I would pick them a part would depend on my mood looool. Most of the time if I hear their reasoning for their system I'll see minor benefit to what they do but not enough to justify going out of your way to make it happen. And will usually say that like "have you considered not doing that" or "is it really that important". In more annoying cases I'd say something like "you're just trying to rationalise personal biases" (as in the drug case) or "this is a waste of time and stupid". In my worst behaved moods I don't say anything and just flaunt not following the system hahaha. Like my dad kept telling me off for not matching pegs so I not only carried on not doing it but also took a picture and sent it to him so he knew I was ignoring it. Another example is the time in the video where my bf's rules got trashed by someone else and I happily joined in. There's a great satisfaction in seeing chaos prevail over order
. 
Then I got lucky and figured it out fast enough (thank the Beta NFs for extra input hey).
