    Default being lulled by an accent/way of speech

    is this extreme preference for Fe? I realize that I often don't hear what someone is saying if they have a pretty accent. It is a little embarrasing but. yes. it's true.

    actually.. i think i pay attention more to an accent but will hear it subconsciously.

    I get confused if things are more N/S or Te/Fe.

    I don't know, but I do that too!

    It's very subjective. I like accents that I can understand, (some Indians are pretty bad at English on the phone talking to me)

    but I understand everyone the same, although I might enjoy one person's voice over the other in retrospect.

    You have Indians over there? Interesting ...

    I like English accents. And softer American accents ...

    Kam, sometimes you make me laugh. That's all I'll say about that.

    You bring up an interesting point Ms.K. That's something I'm going to have to ponder for a little bit, but I'll come back to post when I have something valid to add to your discussion. I'd never really thought about that before.

    Sometimes you make me cry.

    But on topic ... there is definitely something about some voices that are hypnotizing. I like interesting voices - I don't know if it's Fe, probably more Ne - where they go all over the place and do unexpected things. I can't stand listening to people who talk in a monotone. Or really abrasive or shrill voices.

    Because for some reason you thought that Indians avoided Australia like the plague?

    ah.. well if they have an accent i guess, a noticable one. i would be distracted by any accent provided it's noticable enough.

    I say no.

    But if you are attracted to people with pretty voices, talk a lot, and you can't really tell what they are saying, then yes, you could quite possibly be Fe dual seeking.
    Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
    If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.
