I agree with TDHT, it seems that we see "sensor" the cause of all the issues we have with other peoples while it is more likely that the problem is I vs E, F vs T or J vs P. There is also a world of difference between sensors and they have also communication problems among them: SP vs SJ is a huge one. I think it would be better to pin point what exactly you don't like about the communication of others. Most of the cases you both are on the opposite side of the preference line. So this hold a perfect opportunity to learn about the other side so you can shift more to the middle and become more balanced and flexible. In my experience it just takes understanding to get improvement. Work on your own communication skills, find a middle ground and the other person will most likely join you there. It doesn’t mean you have to give up your preferred communication style but just abandon it from time to time
also INFJ's are one of the types with the least experience in communication, being an introvert and an intuitive who is not much present in the here and now, we tend to have less social skills then other types. So maybe we have to consider the fact that the problem we have with other types is due to our own inability in social contact.
How I interact with sensors? I know that it is very difficult to know other peoples type but since the majority of people are sensors and I have 1 common problem with the majority of the people around me, I guess this problem is related to N vs S. The problem is interests and the way they are interested in a subject. It is hard to explain because it is so subtle but it seems that most people around me seem to stay more on the surface of subjects while I like to go more in debt. Even when we are interested in the same subject, the way we want to talk about it is so much different.
To give an example when I have a problem with another person and needs to talk about it, I like to not only tell what is in front of my eyes but also like to talk about aspects like “what is the underlying problem”, “how can I grow from this”, “what can be the point of view of the other person that I can’t see right now”, ... While when a sensor has a problem with someone, most of the times they just want to get their frustrations out and there the conversation stops. And when I then start about “what can we learn from this”, ... they are not really interested anymore and would rather get an ice cream.
Or when I was in Jordan with a friend of mine in the beautiful desert of Wadi Rum, I wanted to talk with her about the astonishing view and how it made me feel while she talked about the shower. We where both interested in the country and we both had a great trip, but in such a different way!
It leaves me behind hungry, sad and lonely because I want to get more out of a conversation while most people doesn’t have a clue what more I want. They are content with conversations the way they are, why can’t I?
