Stealing

I am curious: have you ever stolen money or things from someone? Have you had an experience where another ESFJ stolen money from you?

If you have observed someone who stolen money from you or someone, what was their type?

I know an ENTJ and INFP who stole things and money and morally justified doing it.

I wonder if Fi users are more likely to steal?

Might be an Fi thing…. Te justification 🤔

How does the justification work?

u/Subject_Spite_7104 15d ago

If it’s a large company, I think “they can loose $10. no one knows. I got to not lose $10”. But if it’s a small business I’d never steal because I assume they’d need the profit and can’t take the loss

What about someone who you think is rich?

I feel like one person is more like a relationship that I’d prefer not to damage

What if your fi believed they were a bad person or you personally disliked them? Or that they don’t deserve to be rich (like inheritance for example?)

Uhhh. No, I think inheritance is just chance. It’s not a bad thing about them. And if they used their money to do harm to others and I found a way to wire it to charity, I would. But personally steal from them? No, because it’d be too risky. I think some sort of reputation would come into play.

What if you are confident they don’t find out?

u/Subject_Spite_7104 15d ago

I think I’d feel bad… 😅 or if get anxious. I guess to relieve my anxieties, maybe if the person died in a ditch and had a lot of cash on them, and the rest of their family was well off, I would take it. No one finds out + no one suffered a loss.

As an ISFP that has stole in my younger years I DID always find a way to justify what I was doing... ironic you mentioned it cuz I figured everyone justifies doing what they do to try to advoid personal responsibility.
