Making A Scene

A friend of mine asked me about people who create a scene. How come some of us do while others hate it. This was her question. .. 

Extroverts make a scene often. EF (Extroverted Feelers as in MBTI) do it deliberately.. ET do it unknowingly. That leaves IT (Introverted Thinkers) and IF.  IF probably calculate and and do something to blow things up.. But being introvert, they don't do it often. 

IT also blow up infrequently but as in ET it's more a loss of control than a deliberate action. The effect is still the same,  the reason notwithstanding. 

As i was telling a friend yday, the feminine way to disparage another person is to say "you look so nice TODAY" with a voice emphasis on the capitalized word. The male way to disparage is rather overt and obvious. 

The summary is F do it using S2 (conscious thought). T do it using S1 (subconscious). 

Coming to why introverts don't prefer to create a scene: An introvert doesn't like to express.

That leads to the logical question. Why don't introverts like to express? 

By the age of 3 we gave "decided" to be I or E.  
Why does someone decide to be or become I? Maybe a secretive nature (ever seen an introvert who divulges everything?). Maybe very shy. Low self esteem? - I am not sure. Many introverts do not have low self esteem. 

I think introverts have a general preference to stay hidden from the public.  Which is not the same as being feminine which is to not make a scene or to ask questions in a meeting.. This nature is a part of sizing up the environment.  The "not creating a scene" which women have in a new environment is a decision of S2. To preserve appearances. 

While for introverts,  not creating a scene is a decision of S1 and subconscious. 

Think of a matrix like this
                                      T                                          F
Extrovert            creates scene                  creates scene
                               innocently often        deliberately often

Introvert                hates to                        hates to create
                               create scene.              scene but plans
                               Occasional bouts        plans subtle
                               of anger                         scenes


This is not to say T are great and F aren't. T have their own problems. 

Summary :
The question is not about making a scene. The real question is why is one an introvert.
