That is so true

Why am I up this time at night?
Just found this article on ISTP (my Myer-Briggs Type) , and it is so true:
Recognising Stress
As stress increases, 'learned behaviour' tends to give way to the
natural style, so the ISTP will behave more according to type when
under greater stress. For example, in a crisis, the ISTP might:
- withdraw from people, to think through possible solutions
- use tried and trusted solutions to short-term problems
- criticise others efforts and ignore their feelings
- sort out detailed points that could perhaps wait
Under extreme stress, fatigue or illness, the ISTP's shadow may appear - a negative form of ENFJ. Example characteristics are:
- displaying intense feelings towards others, or insisting on things being done without any logical basis
- being very sensitive to criticism
- having a gloomy view of the future
- attributing unrealistic negative meaning to others actions or statements
The shadow is part of the unconscious that is often visible to others,
onto whom the shadow is projected. The ISTP may therefore readily see
these faults in others without recognising it in him/her self.
Anyway...... I think I do have a problem letting my feeling out I suppose, and that I only see the logical side of things rather then the big picture.
I just wish people understand the picture I see and how it is fits together, and not to impose their views into my world..... I know they want the best for me, but what they see as the best option is not necessarily right - remember, I am an "I"... I keep things to myself
