Fe - Extraverted Feeling is the topic of this video. ---TRANSCRIPT--- Greetings. This is my submission for Mastery Monday. I’m going to try to keep this below five minutes. So the topic is extroverted feeling. I recently dealt with a case—an ENFJ who was shoplifting because everybody else around them was shoplifting. Extroverted feeling is connected to empathy and social harmony. These people don’t like when others are upset with them. If they find out someone is mad at them, it really disturbs them. They’ll ask, “Are you mad at me?” They don’t want anyone to be upset with them. They are very susceptible to peer pressure, people-pleasing, being a doormat, and being passive. So if you have one of these children, you want to pay special attention to helping them not become doormats. Everyone should be mindful of peer pressure, but these types need extra attention. Let’s break this down. The ENFJ has extroverted feeling in the top slot. The ESFJ also has Fe in the top slot. The INFJ has it in the second slot, and the ISFJ also has it in the second slot. This ENFJ is the focus here because they are deeply connected to connection—which also relates to intimacy. If you have one of these four types of children, you want to consistently tell them “I love you.” Don’t assume they know. Everyone should express love to their kids, but for these children, it’s especially important. You also want to monitor their friendships closely. These children are more prone to people-pleasing. You’ve probably heard the saying: you become a product of the five people you spend the most time with. If they’re around five negative influences, there’s a high chance they become the sixth. So you want to guide them toward healthy friendships. At the same time, be careful not to hurt their feelings in a way that pushes them away. If that happens, they may begin to value their friends’ opinions more than yours. You don’t want their friends to hold more emotional influence or reverence than you do.

"Life is what you make it" that's what people say... It's partially true. But you can be the most positive person in the world... and their are still predators out there to get you...and your kids. Some people are naturally vigilant Some people are not. Some people are naturally skeptical Some people are not. Some people are open, trusting, and willing to help others. And some people don't...the truth is theirs a time a place for both. CC
