How do you feel/behave around people you know (or believe) can never truly be your friend, but they treat your nicely because they probably think they are your friend?
I hate that situation. I guess it would depend on why I think they can never be my friend? Do they just really drive me crazy?
I generally try to be nice to people because at one point I felt like I really didn't have any friends. But, at the same I suppose I also try not to be too friendly...
...Well, they don't drive your crazy necessarily. You probably like them and think the person is great in her/his own right, but because of their personality, you think that it's not the kind of friendship that you could benefit from. The person may be too judgmental or too rigid in her expectations about how people should behave, so even though things may be going well between you two for now, you're not sure how things will be in the future...
I think you're looking for the ESFJ hate thread. My condolences.

I always find it really difficult to answer those "how would you act in this situation" questions because how I act is governed by my immediate reading of the situation briefly weighed against some mess I call a values system. That is to say I can't predict how I will act with much accuracy.
What do ESFJs think about INTJs?
I generally just try to pretend that thread doesn't exist. lol
ESFJs, do you consider yourself superstitious?
Are you guys heavy on gender roles?
....I also want to ask: What's your inner world truly like?
How do you feel about people who think that ESFJs have no individual opinions or beliefs of their own and that they are 100% conformist?
I'm not sure what means... Elaborate?
