    Default Fe Dual Seeking

    Fe seeking- my INTJ friend has cancer and was expressing on Facebook how his mother didn’t care to support and love him. He wrote this "Sucks not having a mother to trust, my disease doesn't mean anything, but kissing her ass to help me is necessary, so much for unconditional love."

    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

    I guess complaining about not having your mother care about you having cancer is "Fe dual seeking".

    And that's why Socionics is cancer.

    Function #4 – objective ethics (Fe): the attitude of people to me, people’s relationships. A Maxim is easily suggested in this sphere. “I want people to care about me. I want to be liked, appreciated and respected. If people here like me, then this is a good place.” A Maxim’s cunning "friends" often use this trait. When he/she thinks “I am appreciated, trusted, I am coping”, he/she is in danger of being used. In the best-case scenario he will be thanked for his work and dismissed.

    Can people without "Fe dual seeking" not complain about your mother not caring about you having cancer?

    I don't complain about my relationship's attitude towards me in an emotional manner. I do describe my relationships here as a form of information.

    It appeared to me that what was meant by Singu’s comment was more like “you don’t have to be Fe dual seeking to complain that your mother doesn’t care for you.” Did I catch you right @Singu?

    Isn't that what you also would do?

    The reason why the person is complaining... is because not having your own mother care about you having cancer is a legitimate thing to complain about. And maybe because the person is in a desperate situation.

    The obsession with labeling and categorizing things is making you unable to find the real reason for why people does anything. You can just put a label on things like "This is Fe dual seeking... this is Fe PoLR...", which doesn't actually mean anything, or it doesn't enlighten you with anything. It's not an explanation, it's just a labeling.

    At least, it's not the end of the discovery of why things are the way they are.

    When under a lot of stress, Fe-types tend to disassociate and or distance themselves whereas INTjs tend to want to get closer and or more personal. Cancer may have created two ships passing in the night. I would have thought that a mature INTj would understand detachment even though that person may now (and unusually) be seeking succour - also, closeness often blinds INTjs to the big picture.......

    the Mom is not ESE. My ESE friend replied to his post saying how he can help. In fact it was both my ESE cousin and sister who took care of my dying cousin (only because they had more time than myself. I helped in other ways).

    Sorry, I misunderstood. Yes, ESEs can be quite helpful this way especially when they themselves are not under personal stress.

    Are you so Delta, that you don't need (to offer) verbal assurances?

    I don't really agree that some people are just so and need no such things. Unless they have autism or something, then maybe they're just being lazy. Maybe the "ESE" are the only people that gave a damn.

    Well you know the ironic thing is that the reason why people can write beautiful expressions, is because they thought about how you would feel if you read it.

    Singu, you gotta rmmbr that INFjs by nature having feelings that are only noticeable in their negative manifestations because their own feelings inherently depreciate the object. I do think that she is just guessing because she knows that her friend is INTj. It is normal to want to feel loved, especially if youre gonna die sooner than later. Fe dual seeking is more in the moment, be it happy or sad, high or drunk, be the objective emotion with me! Be extra! It might be hard to relate if she wasn't familiar with cancer, but it sounds like she is, so maybe there's more to it (as always with Deltas (lol)).

    If I had something as serious as cancer I would feel terrible if someone didn't say anything about it to me, but I'd soldier through it as needed.

    Luckily, I don't see that happening. My problem would probably be too much attention.

    Or it could be that she's making a choice to act in that way.

    People can make a choice to change their behavior in whatever ways that they want.
