[mbti] Niceness and Bluntness

Have you ever noticed that when you have to be in certain situations, you get extremely... blunt? Like, uncharacteristically blunt?

I notice it when I'm:

•Stressed, but unable to be alone or in a comfort zone (like at a job, or school)
•When in charge, and it's more important to the job to keep people in line than make friends.
•When an ideal is violated-- the bluntness might actually border on viciousness, then.
•Somewhat when I don't know someone, and am keeping slightly distant, "just in case."
•When in a very bad mood/ sick, and unable to find a comfort zone by default.

I mean, INFPs are like... the fluffy bunnies of the Myers-Briggs world. So why the heck do I have times almost daily when I act more ESTJ? Is this normal? 'Cause I only act like it when stressed, so I don't come off as a nice ESTJ.

If you want to understand me better, read the comments too. Very very accurate. Almost scary how accurate it is.
