What qualities do you NFs admire and or respect in others? What qualities do you aspire to be?
Strength, has always been a big thing for me. And optimism (not overly unrealistic optimism though). People with that inner strength to survive, especially some kind of harsh upbringing or surroundings or something, and come out fairly okay, I find very admirable. Especially people who keep an optimism for life and faith in people despite that too. So, strength in will, love of living, and also authenticity/sincerity--just a person who seems real and themselves. Someone who willingly looks into themselves (introspects) and is their own person. I admire those things. And in general, people who are considerate about others and situations (whether or not they are good at being considerate is another thing though).
Also, what do you NOT respect? What qualities do you have trouble tolerating?
People with negative prejudices, who actively discriminate and judge, I suppose. And if they don't learn that it's wrong. I don't know... this is actually harder for me to think of. Destructive, hurtful people who don't want to change and help themselves.
People who distract me, I hate, and find hard to tolerate, but that's more of a fault of my own when I'm in an irritable mood...
