Wow...such a brutal attack.
Couldn't it be said of any human being that deep down, their favorite topic would be themselves? We're all a little bit selfish, I don't think that goes completely in accordance to what type we are. If you're a living, breathing, functioning human being, there's at least an ounce of selfishness inside of you. The level of conceitedness in a person could be subject to change depending on the person-- not the type. Take into consideration, as well, what each individual has grown up with, or how they have grown up...it's different for each of us. At least, that's my take on it. Perhaps I'm wrong, as I very well could be. [Yes! I don't always have to be right! It is apparently said of the NT types that they shove it down someone's throat if they believe they are right about something-- but I won't dwell..].
As for NF types being
flighty or disloyal, that could be a misinterpretation. Must depend on the situation, of course, but perhaps an NF would 'take flight' so to speak if they somehow feel cornered by something? A fight or flight instinct is imbued within all people...all animals, even. I could see it easily being interpreted as being disloyal, but that, again, might depend on the events leading up to the sudden departure. Different points of view with lack of communication is going to provide some confusion, after all.
...'for people who are so 'people-oriented' a lot of them don't have many close friends..'
This statement by itself bothers me...it shows a lack of understanding of NF types. I'm not completely 'in the know', however, from what I have learned already-- to be true about myself [le-gasp, I'm talking about myself, how
dare I?!]-- AND about other NF and NF possibles I have read about/know in person...we don't let people get close for our own personal reasons. It's a choice, not because we're not 'people-oriented'. What is the worth of having several 'close friends' who we
think we can fully trust or connect to...when we can have a close-knit few whom we
know will be there for us no matter what-- and vice-versa. I've stuck by friends who have done wrong by me, or who have lied to me merely because we all make mistakes. I've also dropped friends for the same reasons, but the circumstances were far worse than a white lie or petty arguement-- however, doesn't any person retain the right to drop somebody from their life who offers nothing but negativity, or whom they feel has betrayed their trust or is inherently bad for them?
These NFs being referred to, as others have stated, may have been unbalanced or maybe were not NF types at all and were only misunderstood as such...in any case, you can't generalize an entire group of people based on only a few experiences. It'd be like having three kids come into your store and they shop-lifted-- then assuming because of this, all kids of that age group must be shop-lifters.
Utter nonsense... :steam:

I wouldn't be bashing another type if you don't even know what you are yourself...just saying...you could very well be including yourself in your own bad-mouthing...
.
I don't things those sentences in themselves are invalidating, but tone and context color in the rest.
