substitute, do you adjust your communication style according to the person you are communicating with?
Yes, I try to as much as possible, but a lot of the time I'm communicating with many people at once, of different types but predominantly NT's and ST's.
When one-on-one I do my best to come over to the other person's level (though I find it tiring and don't tend to see many people making any effort to meet me half way), and in groups I tend to adjust to whatever's the predominant mentality.
When communicating with NF's one on one, I tend to just feel scared the whole time, which is funny, cos they say they're intimidated by me when in fact if they only knew that I'm mentally virtually in the fetal position, so terrified of upsetting them and anxious because I just totally don't understand how I do, and because I also know that if I do, odds are they won't tell me until it's too late to make amends...
This thread is actually helping me quite a bit to see the various different takes on ENTPs... Fellow NT's seem to see us as playful, loopy and harmless; NF's seem to see us as egotistical and insensitive; J's see us as unreliable and fickle... be interesting to get some Sensors' POV's.
