Why do you keep such people as friends, especially if you don't really want to spend time with them?...|||Probably some do more so than others. I don't go in for self-image considerations.

Personally I don't always look at the world around me to even tell these things but if I focused on people then yes, that's a reasonable conclusion I might come to.    Exactly. Or where...|||not to complicate things for you, but Ni doesn't really deal with objects in that way. it looks between objects to find out how they are connected to each other - still a perception function, but...|||The distinction here sounds like you defend things and others outside yourself, but not yourself.
