    Default ISTps holding grudges and forgiveness

    I'm getting the impression that ISTps aren't very forgiving. Is this true?

    I'm the most forgiving person you could possibly meet. Life is too short to hold grudges, I figure.

    Cool. I wonder if all ISTps are just as forgiving. The ISTps on this forum are disappearing.

    I myself don't exactly like all the changes around here. Everytime I come here, it's different. And not too many new topics...

    On a side note, that's how I felt about the number of INFjs here.

    Anyway, I feel that ISTps are more likely to be interested in tools and something hands-on. So I wasn't surprised that not many of them posted here regularly.

    When you're stuck with an office job that you absolutely despise, you have to pass the time somehow I guess. Hence the reason I'M here.

    I had an argument with an ISTp girl over the net about 5 months ago. I sent her a nice email apologising and say that i still like her but she told me to fuck myself. LOL.

    I think an ITp may hold a grudge, but will tend to get over it quickly because of the Fi HA.

    Hmm, I suppose. Some of these topics can be really abstract and such. I'm interested in the practical applications of all this, like how to spot ENFps and manipulate them.


    Besides, there's been a lot of drama and hand-wringing here lately, and I'm just not into that.

    You seem like a cute person, and SLIs don´t keep grudges like that. I bet they´d rather just forgive you than have to read a long apology letter.

    Exactly what I was thinking. I forgave her by the end of the first paragraph, drifted off around paragraph three.

    I think it's over by now. The SLI will be touched by her concern.

    yes

    Depends upon which one they are...as in what state of mind they are in; they will hold a grudge with someone who broke their heart.

    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

    how to make up with an SLI, is it just explain what happened and SLI forgives? or does SLI hold a grudge??
    I'd say SLIs are going to be forgiving. We can forgive mistakes, accidents of the heart too, just not very forgiving of maliciousness. Maybe just a little time needs to pass, but SLIs are not prone to strong value judgements.

    There are people my husband does hold grudges against. There's this guy he knows who had someone fired on false pretenses to make room for a friend of his to be hired. He holds a really big grudge against both of them for that. There is nothing they could do to get on his good side at this point. That's just an example.

    yes, they hold grudges. they are actually pretty judgmental despite their live and let lie attitude.
