The process of extraverted
Feeling often involves a desire to connect
with (or disconnect from) others and is
often evidenced by expressions of warmth
(or displeasure) and self-disclosure.
The “social graces,” such as
being polite, being nice, being friendly,
being considerate, and being appropriate,
often revolve around the process of extraverted
Feeling. Keeping in touch, laughing at
jokes when others laugh, and trying to
get people to act kindly to each other
also involve extraverted Feeling. Using
this process, we respond according to
expressed or even unexpressed wants and
needs of others. We may ask people what
they want or need or self-disclose to
prompt them to talk more about themselves.
This often sparks conversation and lets
us know more about them so we can better
adjust our behavior to them. Often with
this process, we feel pulled to be responsible
and take care of others’ feelings,
sometimes to the point of not separating
our feelings from theirs. We may recognize
and adhere to shared values, feelings,
and social norms to get along.
