I was just wondering, does our temperament have an influence on how we are "moody?" (emotional state-wise)
As an ENTJ, I find "moods" to be an enigma. I am unsure if I ever had them.
I am not talking about a "physical" mood.
For example, I may be "not in the mood" to eat chocolate or to go out today.
When I say this, it doesn't really refer to my emotional state, but more so my physical state (I feel tired, bloated, etc.)
Or, when I am starving, I am "not in the mood" to argue or to talk, because I want to satisfy my pressing need.
I am taking about this kind of mood:
Let's say someone did something wrong to me. Like at work, someone is being difficult or uncooperative. Or lets say I set up a meeting with someone and the person did not show up without any explanation or apologies at all.
I find that these disappointments do not really "affect my mood" nor do they alter the way I go about with my day. My emotional state stays the same, and I don't get "bummed out" or whatever. I see that the person did something wrong and owes me an apology, or he/she deserves to undergo some sort of consequence, but that's it.
In contrast, I find other people get upset over these things, and you can see their faces change or their "moods" change.
Like one moment everything is fine and whatnot, but after that particular upsetting event, the whole situation changes and the person interacts differently.
Of course, it would be different if something drastic were to happen, like a death of a family member. But then again, in the event that things like that happen (for example, when my aunt died), I was still rather "stable" emotionally and I ended up going into "fix" mode making sure everyone is OK and not getting into problems (since under stress, people can get negligent and make mistakes). Afterwards, I didn't really grieve, I wasn't really sad but I can say that I miss my aunt.
Can any ENTJ's relate to this?
Can anyone explain this to me? Maybe feelers can explain?
