ask people questions about their aesthetical decisions in a way that expresses interest. example:
"I like your shirt, where did you get it?" "What kind of book are you reading?" "How old were you when you started (x hobby)?"
basically, be curious. and avoid people who hate curiosity. curiosity is your best framework for interacting with a world that is usually uninterested in understanding you. be cautious about using "why" questions, NT's interpret those as interrogation and feel like they're being made to justify themselves.
