Dear Forum,

When not engaged in debate, I've noticed that I tend to use Ne and Fe to socialize, with the former providing speed and the latter, warmth. I've also found that planned, targeted applications Ne+Fe capable can make others' days and warming my heart. Although doing so is almost entirely natural to me (I learned it during my five years of therapy from third to eighth grade), I realize that I may be an oddball; therefore, I pose a question to you, the forum:

"What functions dominate your socialization, and, especially if they are Ne and Fe, have you seen similar results to mine?"

Ne, and actually Ti. I find that nothing ever gets started without Ne, and that I rarely speak without thinking about what to say first. I generally don't use Fe, even though it's tertiary. I'm assuming this is because my socialization centers around getting and giving answers, even IRL.

*EDIT: I should clarify that while I hardly ever use Fe during face to face interaction, it often makes an appearance after such interaction.

In my case, It fully matters on the situation and my mood I suppose. For instance, when I'm typing someone my detachment (Ti-Ne) sometimes is so dominant that I have no facial movements nor do I blink; the thoughts that emerge in that state is completely directed towards Typing and nothing else. But I digress, because this is Observing, not Socializing.

I'd say I have my Fe moods, Ti moods, Ne moods and sometimes Si moods. Often I swift from mood to mood. The moods can also be so extreme that i.e. I will text mates that I love them (Fe). Or, Si: That I will be stunned and do/say nothing. Ne: That I will do very random stuff (So random that ENTPs will think: WTF? or Dude...)

It also matters to who I'm socializing. Is it someone I already know? Is it a person I just met? Is it a person that influences my life? Is it a person I adore?

I think, Socializing should be split up in 2 parts: How do you observe. And: How do you act on that.

Ne...

That is pretty much it, I use Ne and detect patterns in people and then I will match their energy level and make them feel comfortable.

Ne has allowed this introverted robot to have a false extroversion, it makes people like me, but feeling never gets involved, so I never form bonds.
