Eh, to an extent. My teasing is harsher with close friends because I know that they won't be offended by it. Showing my Ne isn't like opening up, so it isn't something that requires a person's trust. I'll show it to whoever I want, because it's fun to use. (On the other hand, I guard my Fi with my life and only show it when I know for CERTAIN that it won't be injured. That tendency is why I was never on the debate team in high school....)ESTJs, do you just show your Ne to those that you are really comfortable with? You know, the silly, goofy teasing stuff.
I'd say that there's a particular type of Ne that is probably the first thing that people see when they meet me -- especially if they're shy. My Ne goes HAYWIRE when I'm talking to very quiet people.
I think some of that is him trying to defuse a tense situation. He knows that being like that will make things better, so he acts that way. Seems like Te filling in for Fe.Also, even though there are times when I am serious, my ESTJ will go into this teasing and playfully poking mode. Even when I get upset, he'll just say something like, "Aw, you mad? Come here and let me give you a hug. That's what you wanted anyway...you should've just asked me. I can't tell you no." Sometimes I have to smile but sometimes it is irritating as hell (and yes--he knows that it will totally irritate me at times). Why does he do this?
Getting ESTJs drunk is a GREAT way to make them seem like ENFPs.Is he by any chance intoxicated? Or a closet ENFP?![]()

I'm not sure. My first instinct is to say that I don't think so. But I definitely think that people I don't know well are more likely to be offended by my asserting myself, than people I do know well. If people know me well, they know that I am a very honest person, and they get used to it.ESTJs -- do you ever find that people get angry/offended if you assert yourself, no matter how diplomatically you do it?
People in general, not just those close to you. It's pissing me off.
