Seeing that when an explosively angered type expresses emotion to a different type, say an INTP, for instance, they will be further infuriated by the intp's quieter, seemingly less emotional, responses, not realizing that the restraint is not necessarily coldness but an extreme emotional effort, out of love, to avoid meanness or hurt to the upset one.
I then saw a vision of how how there is a precise misunderstanding that frequently happens. A more explosively emotionally communicating sort will see the intensity as a vent that is over and then considered gone while the cool response is seen by them as representing a long term or permanent judgment by the intp. Conversely, the intp, knowing that we all develop, learn and change, sees the cool and measured statement as being a "floating for now but changeable" state but sees the intensity of emotion in the explosive individual as being so intense that it must be a carved in stone permanent stance now.
