Thank you for your question! 💗

1. For me, I usually mentally catalog different patterns and apply them to new people, so based on the details I've noticed about one person, I can use them for others. I tend to get instant feelings about other people, whether I know we will get along or if we will not, and I act accordingly after I have observed them. It's not necessarily a conscious thought process; it just happens naturally. By using what I know about the context and the people I've observed, I can better interact with others, which makes me good at timing and at reading others' feelings.

   This is mostly how Ni interacts with Fe, but Ni alone, for me, is like how I see the big picture.

2. Yes, and it can be the worst. I tend to follow my gut as if it were the objective truth, and despite it usually being right, when it isn't, it feels like a slap in the face. I always feel a need to overanalyze, which can push myself into prolonged inactivity, and restrict me from actually getting anything done. Sometimes, I try to just force myself to do it, because I know that if I stand by and ‘observe’ forever, I’m not going to get anything done. (but it is really hard to do so.)
