This is more how I visualize Fi. My nearest sister and my first husband had primary Fi, so I am quite familiar with the "sensitivity." This sensitivity can be both moral and aesthetic. Fe is more slobbery with emotion, less refined. I associate Fe more with the adult or maternal feminine, because humans with primary or secondary Fe are often found in caretaking professions or positions. Fi will retreat when hurt by other humans. Fe will become exhausted by trying to over-extend circle of care. Fi sits with her kitten in the window seat and watches the rain, and then composes a sad piece on her piano. Fe hostesses the fundraiser for the cat rescue and doesn't say "No" when her ex hits her up for sex...again.bookworm wrote:On a walk yesterday, I thought of my Fe as a little girl...it helps me conceptualize in a different way if I throw in the gender aspect. I was also a bit gender non-conforming despite male central tendency ("too sensitive"...etc.) and have complicated sexual preferences.
OTOH, it could be the case that I visualize Fi as more juvenile because further down my own functional stack and vice-versa for you, but I am pretty solid that Fe as a little girl likes baby dolls, because not a baby herself, but Fi prefers fashion dolls and cries for an hour every time she gets her hair cut and thinks she looks ugly when she sees herself in the mirror, so then Daddy has to go to the deli and buy all the special sandwich ingredients she prefers, because also kind of a picky eater. Of course, Daddy also has to come rescue eNTP every time she climbs up in a tree with a book and a snack, but then can't get back down again, but that is more of a primary Ne issue. Good thing Daddy was a 6w5!
