Why Do They Do That Segment – Where we analyze the strange, annoying or confusing things we or our family members do, using personality type.
Planning Trips
An ISFJ listener shares a story of planning a trip to a new city for her and her ESTP husband. They planned to take a taxi when they arrived for the convenience but when they arrived her ESTP husband did not want to spend the money and they had to figure out the public transport system.
Sandra talks about the difference between the J (judging) and the P (perceiving) and how J’s want to know what to expect and plan for it. Changing plans last minute without having the details figured out can be frustrating and anxiety-producing.
Holiday Angst
Em talks about her ISFJ daughter being so focused on what is coming next. Lately her focus has been on “things” – like the sticker book arriving in the mail. Em talks about her difficulty seeing this in contrast with her own childhood in which being able to afford “things” wasn’t nearly the same, especially during the holidays.
Sandra mentions how J (judging) kids respond really well to rewards or “bribes” and that can lead to a tendency as parents to use that a lot, which in turn can lead to them being highly focused on the “things” that they get
Hurt Feelings
Sandra talks about how this morning during learning she was playing a game with both kids and when she playfully teased Ryker, Ripley got her feelings hurt.
Her Thinking son enjoys back and forth banter but that Feeling part of her daughter gets her feelings hurt easily, even if the teasing isn’t directed at her.
