It would take me a long time to list all the ways to make me feel appreciated and loved. It's really not that difficult.

I would say expressing appreciation for something I've created is one of the best ways. That can be anything from an audio editing project that I worked for a month on to simply a one-line post I made on a message board. Those little rep comment things on here, where somebody tells me I made them laugh, that gets me high for a while.

Laughing itself is a good one, or just smiling. I love cheering people up, entertaining them, making them feel good. So anything you do that lets me know I succeeded makes me feel appreciated. Talking about how good a time you have with me.

Physical gestures like a high five or a hug or kiss can be awesome, too. Remembering me in the times that you need somebody. Including me in the fun activities you want to do. Giving me fun surprises. Acknowledging my caring or my efforts to help somebody.

I guess the real short version is just giving me attention. I may be an introvert, but I am not a person who thrives in solitude. I need people, and I need positive feedback or I start to wallow in negative feelings.

Physical affection, cash, compliments and joining in fun spring to mind.

ISFPs are so awkward but they crack me up.

You should not start highly abstract discussions.

Awkward? What the heck are you talking about YOU SILLY GOOSE!!?

ISFPs love cats, weed, obscure musicians, drawing, kittens, marijuana, and a good CD collection.

And crack.

What's up with this comment? Do the mods allow this type of madness to go on around here?

Umm I don't know what you're talking about.

I was making a joke about ISTJs always trying to regulate/control their surroundings. "Do mods allow this?" etc...

Puns are the best Se/Ne bonding tool, I swear. (Well, puns and impulsive debauchery, but y'know.)
