Why do they expect you to do things their way without telling you directly what they want? Why is it that the only time they give you concrete expectations is the point at which they are almost over the edge? It seems as if they expect you to read their minds and know the proper way of doing things without being told. They seem to think you are incapable of doing something if you learn best by direct means. If the expectations are concrete, I know what do to and what is expected of me.


That is not always the case. I have been told by my NT relatives, on several occasions what they wished of me.

Some people are explicit.

Because they know that you will most likely screw it up otherwise - or at least expect you to. Random NT's don't do it normally though.
