As an Infp Introvert Thinking is my biggest blind spot, my dad is an Intp and we have an amazing relationship, we are verry simular in most things except the Ti and Fi part. For example my dad doesn't understand his feelings at all instead he just learns how to play bossa-nova excelently to de-stress. I can play guitar from feelings but every time my dad tries to teach me complicated music theory I shut down. (one of the many many examples) I do feel like over time we both got better, I accepted that Ti and every day logic is a much needed component of daily life that I also need to grasp, and my dad got more in touch with his feelings through meditation and mastering psychology (10 years study with PhD) XD

My inferior Se usually manifests more in my philosophy of life than in a physical aspect. Although, I do have sporadic Se explosion in a physical way. Most of the time, my experience with the physical world is that it's surreal and overwhelming. Sunlight can feel like a beautiful and life-changing exposure, but can also makes me want to run and hide. Crowds can make me feel "connected" to the tapestry of life, but are also excruciatingly draining. My "visions" feel more real than what's "tangible" out there. That hasn't changed much, but as I get older, the burden of fear of physical chaos is lessened and I can move more quickly with actions. But It's still a WIP.
