Similarly, those who use introverted feeling may suppress or resent the functions of extroverted feeling.
Extroverted feeling is based on interpersonal relationships. Individuals with this trait are considerate of others and value close relationships. They are emotionally expressive, possess excellent communication skills, and can easily get along with many people. They value harmony in relationships and cultivate manners and social norms, and they also expect others to behave in the same way. Because they prioritize sharing emotions with others, their personal beliefs and feelings are naturally suppressed. As a result, they may sometimes fail to recognize the illogicality of their own words or their own emotions. They see themselves as separate from others and do not wish to cling to their ego unnecessarily. On the other hand, they may experience anxiety and a sense of losing themselves if they do not receive feedback on their judgments and actions. Conversely, being praised by others is a great honor and encouragement to them. They strive to shape values within society and want everyone to be able to maximize their strengths. Those with a strong extroverted feeling personality tend to be very approachable, selfless, and loving.
Introverted feeling is based on inner harmony. Individuals with this trait are aware of self-deception and arrogance and strive to eliminate them, though this is not easy for everyone. They are highly aware of their own feelings, and their values and ethics continuously develop. They treat family and friends with affection and care. Helping others is paramount, as they recognize the inner harmony that comes from it. They are particularly concerned with the oppressed and feel pain or disgust at insensitive treatment of the socially vulnerable. A key characteristic is their ability to spend long periods alone, shaping their emotions and values. While inner harmony cannot be theoretically explained and may even demand things contrary to one's own interests, they perceive it as a gift from nature and strive to follow it as much as possible. They adhere to their altruistic beliefs. They are skeptical, prone to self-reflection, and have high ideals. While they may enjoy high praise from others, they do not consider it a necessary or sufficient condition. Ultimately, what matters is whether they meet their own standards. And because these standards are often set unrealistically high, they end up disappointed. They are so focused on their inner selves that they naturally struggle to quickly build close relationships with many people. The core emotions they feel, such as grief or burning desire, are rarely expressed. It is difficult to read their emotions, and their expressions are often stiff. Also, because they are skeptical and only seek out what is genuine, they may disregard, or even despise, manners and social norms as superficial. Furthermore, they feel uncomfortable with overly familiar behavior or exaggerated stories to attract attention.
As described above, extroverted feeling and introverted feeling have both similarities and opposing aspects. However, extroverted feeling types are drawn to and influenced by introverted feeling types' pursuit of authenticity. However, they may also be frustrated by their tendency to think alone for long periods and their lack of self-disclosure. On the other hand, introverted feeling types may be touched by the enthusiastic conversations and the sincerity behind the politeness of extroverted feeling types. However, they may also be frustrated by their tendency to welcome too many people and their exaggerated communication style.
