This was a major mystery to me until I actually learned socionics. A large part of my family earlier in life was Beta and their use of Fe was 'weird' to me. I thought I must have been an introvert, because the people around me, I felt unable to interact with much.

To this day, I don't actually have good communication with them - it is baffling how things can be interpreted in particular ways sometimes. I brought a delta NF girl to a wedding with some of my beta family and it was such a contrast to have great communication with her and to be reminded of my past, more withdrawn or avoidant self, even as an adult. I'm significantly more confident about all forms of communication now, but, people relate to your past a lot.


For beta's specifically, they seem to have a proclivity towards responding to the immediate emotional state and context. My humor is often ne / shifting contexts, and I have a flippant attitude towards particular narratives especially if I don't agree with them or find value in them. But when there's a cluster of people who have a particular attitude about that, it can be stifling for someone who isn't that way - whether the main group is beta delta or whatever.

You should try to see how you feel when you are receiving a consistent amount of 'positive feedback' for your interactions, and you get to explore enough to see what you really enjoy or not.

Even though, though, I tend to get bored with certain emotional contexts and means by which to maintain excitement. When things feel shallow, and there isn't a, let's say.... delta Fi development of depth of understanding other people and their sentiments and related growth paths, then yeah, it gets boring.
