How do you feel/behave around people you know (or believe) can never truly be your friend, but they treat your nicely because they probably think they are your friend?
If someone is nice/kind to me, I try to return that kindness. Being kind doesn't mean we have to be friends. If I don't want to become close to someone, I won't.
What do ESFJs think about INTJs?
My boyfriend is an INTJ. Most of the time, we get on quite well together. Sometimes I find his stubbornness frustrating, sometimes I find his lack of extroverted feeling confusing, but overall I respect his different perspective on things and I often find his outlook refreshing. I think if we weren't dating we could still have been friends just fine.
ESFJs, do you consider yourself superstitious?
Maybe when I was younger? But now, not so much.
Are you guys heavy on gender roles?
I can't speak for all ESFJs, but gender roles aren't really an issue for me. A male nurse can be just as good at his job as a female one. Men make great cooks, and lesbian families can raise children just fine.
....I also want to ask: What's your inner world truly like?
I have a very active imagination.
How do you feel about people who think that ESFJs have no individual opinions or beliefs of their own and that they are 100% conformist?
Makes me angry, but close-minded ignorant opinions usually do.
Do you feel it necessary to impose your beliefs on others, or why do you feel the need to so frequently impose your beliefs? That's the thing that annoys me about ESFJs. They think they are right, they think things should go their way, and they push their stuff onto other people. It would be great if you could provide some insight around that topic.
I think with age, I've learned that what I see as helping someone out, they might see as overbearing. If a person comes to me and is upset, I try to just be the listening ear. Not everyone who is upset wants advice, sometimes they just want to blow steam.
How do ESFJs feel about not being liked as much as the other popular types?
I think it's ironic that on a public forum dedicated to learning about interacting with different personality types, ESFJs are ostracized. Especially considering stereotypically, "We're totally the ones that want to be your friend most!"
ESFJs, what does Fe-dom mean to you?
It means this person is more likely to have an emotional reaction to a situation, and that they are likely to make decisions based on how they feel about it.
When you say valued, do you imply, felt needed?
I tend to equate the two, yes.
