Maybe this is different extroverts, but for the time being I consider myself to be INTP, and I definitely temper the things that I say to certain people. If I know someone is sensitive and will take the criticism badly no matter how I say it, then I will avoid saying it. It doesn't seem worth the conflict. Does this make me F?
I think this comes from the fact that the ENTPs I know are not too aware of how others perceive them, not because they are insensitive. If they knew, they might tone it down. And I don't know if your NF or not, but I think you're a respectful orange blobby thingy
Furthermore, and in line with substitute's anecdote, the differences between me and my INFJ friend show in how we express our feelings to others. On the surface, she is much more friendly and willing to reach out to others and connect (even at her own expense sometimes).
That's interesting. No one ever thinks I'm very friendly at first because I never really engage with them unless I find them intriguing for some reason. If they approach me I will most likely be very friendly, but I'm fairly reserved amongst people I don't know.
This leads people to think that she's the nicer, more pleasant one. Then they react badly when she's not in the mood and won't go through on things that she promised she'd do earlier when she was in a good mood.
An INFJ not following up on promises? Blasphemy!
