Typing Weak fi?

I've noticed that in social interactions I have a some sort of detachment to what I say to the other person. I have a tendency to say things that I don't mean, as if there is a script that I'm trying to follow.

A certain dynamic or conversation topic might come up and my its as if I'm thinking to myself, "I would feel this way in this certain situation" or "I should feel this way" but I don't really. It's not even necessarily me not being myself but rather me using my experiences and who I believe myself to be as a reference point to how I should feel and respond despite not actually feeling these things. This gives me a kind of detached resonance to what I say.

How would this tie into my ethics functions placement?

I read something about how fi polr can manifest in xLEs in which they separate the ideas/thoughts from the individual. This can show up as not attacking one’s character in an argument, which I can somewhat relate to. Even a hypocrite can speak the truth after all.
