I keep seeing the statement that NF live to accommodate others, while NT live to seek truth. Questions like this make me re-think the whole business of type all over again.
I do not accommodate others very much in my life. I don't particularly like to compromise or conform to what others want me to do and I certainly don't live to compromise or conform. I'll do it to get along at work or to please someone very close to me but I don't live for it and I find it extremely unpleasant when I have to.
I do spend a great deal of time seeking truth through study and thought, but I admit that my own feelings are allowed a voice in what I believe. The truths I seek are more about those surrounding human or animal welfare, psychology, good vs. evil.
I have my own idea of truth based on this and I would not compromise this to please someone else or to accommodate for them...at least not without feeling great pain that I had betrayed my own beliefs. I would see that as a denial of my own personal truth and one of the most self-damaging things I could do.
What do other NF think about this? Do you really live to compromise and conform to what others want you to be or do for them?
