    Default Ti + Fe example.

    I've noticed that I often get irritated when I'm not acknowledged for certain things:

    For instance, today when I was coming out of the hospital I held the door open for this mom and her daughter. As they walked through, they glanced at me but didn't give me a thanks or a smile.

    When there's heavy traffic and I stop the car to let people through - there are times when people would wave at me, but there are other times when they won't. I often get irritated at the latter.

    In both examples it seems like I used as a way of saying, "good citizens should always acknowledge each other when helping each other out," and I expected to express this role of a good citizen.

    Just for your info, istj have as base and as dual-seeking, so I'm guessing this kind of scenario wouldn't be as big of a deal to other types?

    Edit:

    Question:

    Would you be irritated by a scenario similar to the one above? If you do, what's your thought process? If not, why not?

    I have edited my previous message. It is my wild guess that it might be connected to that group of types rather than to Ti+Fe.

    Ah, I see. And are you LII? I'm guessing this isn't big of a problem to you?

    All you ESTj, ISTj, ESFp, ISFp, any similar experiences?

    Wikisocion definitions:

    Sensing
    Sensing is a mental process (or 'psychic function') that involves focusing on concrete, tangible details that can be directly experienced. Sensing comes in two varieties (extraverted and introverted) depending on whether attention is focused on reality outside the subject or on the subject's impressions of reality.
    Process types

    1 Do things sequentially, from the beginning to the end.
    2.Immersed to a process and tends to single-tasking.
    3.Focus between the beginning and the end of processes.
    4. More inclined to read texts on books or computer from beginning to the end.
    5."Of course the answer is right, since we followed the correct procedure."
    Emotivist

    1.Tend to concentrate foremost on the emotional background of interaction, with 'business' a secondary concern.
    2.Prefer the new and novel over the old and known.
    3.Information perceived as unprofessional or low-quality can leave them indifferent.
    4.Have greater difficulty disassociating from requests for action or consideration than from others' emotions and experiences.
    5.“If a conversation is emotionally negative, I consider it wasted.”
    --

    Ah, okay I can see where you're coming from: The use of sensing on focusing on what's going on outside (who said what, who did what), process in expecting the "textbook" response in the beginning/end of the situation, and emotivist focused on trying to get positive response out of the whole ordeal

    I'm none of those types, and I enjoy being acknowledged for what I do.

    It would, though I would try to act like it didn't. I like to be acknowledged for doing something "good", be it socially, morally, or otherwise. I also like to be acknowledged for doing the "correct" thing, fwiw.

    What's your type? I thought you were infj?
    Tentatively.

    This strikes me as more of human trait than anything, but to be fair, I don't really care if people acknowledge me for opening doors or letting them through on the road. Though I do typically thank or wave at people for letting me through.

    I don't get irritated by not being acknowledged for holding the door or letting a car in because I don't pay any attention to the person's reaction to it. It's just one of those things you do. It's so common, and so frequent, I don't even think about it.

    However, I make sure I acknowledge people who do stuff like that for me. I at least nod in the person's direction and say "thanks" for holding a door and such. A few days ago, as I was leaving a convenience store a guy leaving in front of me had cleared the door and was on his way when he noticed me coming out, and he leapt several feet back to grab hold of the door just to hold it for me. Of course I made sure I looked him right in the eye, smiled and said thank you, so he knew it didn't go unnoticed.

    However, if someone asks me to do something, and I have to go out of my way to do it, yeah I get pissed if it isn't appreciated. In those cases I feel like they took advantage of me, and I'm not likely to help them again.

    Voluntary help that I offer and they ask nothing more from me? No thanks needed. I did it because I wanted to. Letting cars in and holding doors almost always fall into this category for me. If I don't want to let a car in, I won't. I'll pull up so close to the car in front of me that a bicycle couldn't fit in sideways. And I purposely let a door slam right in a woman's face once because I went to hold it for her and then she ordered me to keep it open in a really bitchy tone. I heard her cursing but didn't look back to see if she was hurt when I walked away. Basically, I get annoyed when anyone thinks they're entitled to my help or acts like I'm there to serve them. They have another thing coming if they think that. Otherwise, I'm glad to help. I enjoy it.

    People say thank you, smile and wave when I do that. Would I be irritated ? I don't know, although it depends on my day, I can just say "just frigging drive you worthless bimbo, I don't have all night".

    If you want a Ti "rule" for my actions it would be, (although I don't really delineate things out like that usually):

    Nobody is entitled to anything unearned. Not me, and not anyone else.

    and maybe also

    Do things because you want to do them, or you're actually appreciative, not because you "should"

    edit: GAH, still not clear enough. It's like, you know how in some cities, when you stop at a stoplight here comes some dude who starts washing your windshield then expects you to pay for it? You never asked him to do it, so why should you pay? That's the same thing with expecting acknowledgement or appreciation for something that nobody asked you to do in the first place, like holding a door for them.

    On the other hand, say a friend begs you to help them move and you're right in the middle of studying for finals or something. They know this, and you finally agree to help for a couple hours. If after helping them they don't even bother to say thanks or anything, THEN you have some reason to be upset. Their asking implies a sort of exchange. Not quite the right word, but I don't know a better one. There was no agreement that they actually give you something (unless you said, yeah I'll help for a six-pack, and they agreed to that) but a thank-you at least has been earned since they asked for your help. Otherwise they're acting as though they were entitled to that help. Does that make sense? Contrast that with: You have some free time and feel like doing something, and WANT to help them move, then it's silly to expect anything for it.

    Either way, neither you nor the other person has a right to anything from the other, and it's ridiculous to act as though you do. sigh, I'm still not happy with the clarity of that, but it'll do.

    You feel too self-centered and inattentive when you're doing something good? Sounds like an oxymoron, heh. I think a lot of EIIs think like that though, which is good. And hah, your illustration is exactly how I picture EIIs I know - inattentive, innocent, and just going about their day doing whats right.

    Oh, without a doubt I'm the same way. I'm so anal about doing everything you just described. I make sure they get the message.

    edit: GAH, still not clear enough. It's like, you know how in some cities, when you stop at a stoplight here comes some dude who starts washing your windshield then expects you to pay for it?

    Yeah, that stuff is just annoying. Though if there were topless girls doing the car wash I wouldn't mind, I'd just drive off after I get my view. But I feel like that situation's a little different from mine because they're asking for money, whereas all I'm asking for is common courtesty, a little love, haha. I don't want to say be fake to people, but I feel like these small gestures may make a difference in the long run in bettering the world. But who am I to say that saying thanks takes less effort than paying money, huh?

    These are all good illustrations. Yeah I agree that for me it depends on the situation at hand:

    I'm driving on the main highway and I see that there is huge traffic ahead of me. I also see that there are cars merging in to my right. To be fair, I'm going to have to let some cars in, because otherwise I'll be an asshole of society. I let one person in, then nobody else until I get to the next car that needs to get in, but never, ever two cars in a row. If a second car tries to cut me off after seeing I let one car in already, I'll get pissed. Why? Because I'm trying to be fair, but if somebody is trying to take advantage of that. I'll be more than happy to let many as many cars as I can in, just don't think I'm a pushover though.

    I do the same things, but I don't anticipate any explicit acknowledgement to follow. I just try to be helpful, and whether and how much I'll get noticed or acknowledged doesn't matter.

    You know OP, I agree with you that Fi types are rude, specifically in that way.

    But good luck getting them to admit it properly or even change it you know? So I think it would be so awkward and emotionally/socially suicidal to point this out to somebody IRL. But yeah it's a Fi-valuing thing.

    Socionics is actually quite harsh but that's why I like it. =/ It sorta busts everybody's balls on the shitty things they do to other people. As an INFp who faps to the human drama of it all, I'm kinda impressed. But when I get out in the 'real world' I also sort of know that it's neurotically vacuumizing reality and zero-ing on one specific aspect. Due to natural, base empathy and feeling naturally guilty when we offend others, not many people are just going to say exactly what they think of everybody like a narcissistic drugged up drag queen gay man. <grin, tongue sticking out>

    God, I've been demonstrating Fi to EVERYBODY lately. =p

    Well, always said the best way pinpointing one's type/quadra is to, actually, find your opposing one.

    Yeah for sure.

    Studies in evolutionary psychology show that altruism typically comes with a catch, so when people get by with a 'free pass' it's irritating. I've gone out of my way to expend a resource - be it energy, or time, or the acknowledgment that you exist - and you've signified by your behaviour that you're not willing to do the same. It's subconscious feeling that you wouldn't have my back, and therefore I can't trust you. These little things are the expressions of how healthy a community is.

    My LSI boss doesn't thank anyone for this sort of thing either, like opening doors and such and I don't care if he doesn't thank me.

    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    Yeah for sure.

    Studies in evolutionary psychology show that altruism typically comes with a catch, so when people get by with a 'free pass' it's irritating. I've gone out of my way to expend a resource - be it energy, or time, or the acknowledgment that you exist - and you've signified by your behaviour that you're not willing to do the same. It's subconscious feeling that you wouldn't have my back, and therefore I can't trust you. These little things are the expressions of how healthy a community is.
