So, my mom is an ISTJ. I think that over all we get along pretty well, but we do tend to clash a lot.
First of all, I find her either completely boring or hilarious. You ISTJ's can be quite funny sometimes. But she’s boring to me whenever she isn’t being funny or ridiculous, which is most of the time. I don't know what makes me think she's a bit boring, it's just her lack of interest in most things other than The Office and her stressful job.
Second, the whole me not m=being neat and tidy thing. I'm not going to say that I'm Mrs. Clean and Organized, but she insists on scrutinizing me for minor things like the dust in the corners of my bathroom floor. I can understand her yelling about my messy room or the dishes I sometimes leave out, but that just seems like a small thing that I should do, but not be yelled at for. Perhaps it was just growing up with my grandma [Mrs. Clean, I swear], that made her this way.
Thirdly, besides getting my good memory and looks from her, she also tends to say that she used to be a lot like me [only more extroverted] as a kid. So, she says that I should go out and play with my friends more or do something productive which is understandable. But I( simply cannot see her as being like me as a kid. I'm very fanciful with my thinking, and open to new ideas, where she's pretty closed minded to most things [like I said before, I find her quite boring].
So, yeah. Leave comments as you wish.
Sorry if this offened you in any way.
