oh god yes.
Even on this forum... if I say something controversial with even the
slightest possibility of damaging the Fe atmosphere and offending someone, I become a nervous wreck if somebody doesn't respond immediately... if it's the last post in the thread, unstoppable thoughts surge into my mind that I've broken some sacred taboo and that everyone is ignoring the thread on purpose. Oh, and everyone take a guess how fun this can be when Ne is in the ego block and you think that EVERYTHING you do has a possibility of being offensive to someone. This is why it's important to have the reassurance of an ISFp to learn and adapt from.
The trouble is that once I get a good idea into my head (or what seems like a good idea at the time anyway
), it becomes very difficult to censor myself from posting it or saying it...
(usually I like to explore the idea in full until I've exhausted whatever potential can come of it... and I find what others may point out quite interesting. I'm a process type, not a result type, so I can't move on to a different idea without regrets when the idea that's in front of me now isn't fully tapped out.)
... The goal of stating the idea is to engage the Fe atmosphere and to be appreciated for the idea, with the added bonus that I can refine the idea through discussion. But if the discussion isn't abrasive, but friendly and noncommittal, and the idea is proved wrong, I can easily reject it and move on to a better and more objective idea. Alpha Fe is the best paradigm for this to happen in. The goal is ultimately to explore possibilites and discover what's correct, not to line my pockets with wealth and a nice reputation... for which I couldn't give two shits.
Back to the topic... it's difficult for me to guage the psychological attitudes of people towards particular views. And quite frankly, I don't understand why people even have specific attitudes towards certain views... I don't like the concept of a clique centered around a specific idea because I think it destroys the possibility of exploring alternatives in order to refine our objective understanding. And as puerile and diletante as I may come off at times because I don't subscribe to group-held notions of what's right and wrong, I'm really, really interested in finding an objective, incontestable truth that transcends common opinions.
