    This was really helpful. As an INFJ it gave me a much better insight into the experience of Fi users. The only thing I would add is that Fe users rid themselves of their own emotions at times to fully emerge themselves in the emotions of another. For example, if a friend is upset, I don’t reflect on how I’m feeling because my experience is irrelevant. Rather I will seek to feel what they are feeling, so that I can be unified in the experience and really be present for them. It’s not fake as some Fi users have assumed, in that moment I’m actually closer to the other person than myself. I wish this aspect was more understood. It’s that good old Fe self sacrifice occurring.

      Very much agree with this! It's their pain in our heart, and it's absolutely real. I will cry harder and have more true pain for another person than myself because I functionally place higher value on their feelings and experience than my own, and when I am with them (vs alone) I can access their feeling experience more readily than my own. Growth path has been learning to use Fe on myself.

    ENFP here. I have always felt this way about “I’m sorry”.
    Like seeing parents tell their kids or force their kids to say it kinda horrifies me. To have to express an emotion you don’t feel gives me such a feeling of being violated. And what does the person on the other end get out of a forced apology? If I thought someone apologized to me from a place of inauthenticity, there would be no healing in that and would make the other person seem untrustworthy. I understand my feelings on this are not right or wrong and it is so useful to understand the way others are wired. Thank you (cause I actually mean it 😉).

    Ho boy, growing up with a (toxic) Fe family was absolute hell as an INFP. My ISFJ mother always complained no one appreciated her or her "sacrifices", my ISTP father forced me to mask my true feelings (because any emotion I felt that he didn't to accept or acknowledge was an absolute "no") , and my ISTP brother would manipulate the hell out of me to get what he wanted. I always had to submit to the group, even if what they were doing or saying was wrong.
    I know Fe isn't bad, and that Fi users can be just as abusive and manipulative, but this has definitely been a struggle for me. Ive been working hard to understand how healthy Fe works, and this video helped me grasp it a little better.
    So, thank you :) (sincerely, an INFP)

      I had this pet peeve, for the longest time, about my husband and his side of our family saying "be careful" before leaving to go anywhere. I would be shaking my head (well, inside) every time like "why the concern?" But somehow the feeling vibe of that phrase sunk in, and I say it to my family all the time. I realized that even as an INFP I can find a way to work these sort of things into my feelings somehow, (otherwise I wouln't be able to say them, of course) but I don't exactly know how.

    ENTJ here and my Fi is unbelievably strong, which makes it hard for me to even go out at times, living in Vienna, Austria, as I immediately pick up on many feelings and emotions at the same time, and it only gets better once I enter a park or a recreation area near my place. I have always wanted to live in a medium sized village, with a lot of nature around me, an own house, a garden. No people who are attached to me, only a few I can keep a very enjoyable relationship with. I love working in an office or, as it is now, since I am still a student, staying in school until dawn and organizing things, studying, doing homework, talking with others. I want to live alone, so that the only possible negative energy source is me, if I am angry or simply distressed. I just cannot live with my family anymore, and only a few cousins and adults in my family do I want to keep in my life. Thankfully we have UA-cam and a lot of knowledge about psychology these days.

    I remember learning that my emotions I showed on the outside did not match what was going on inside. The first time my sister called me out on it. She showed me something very nice and I really like it. I said something like "oh nice" or some other simple remark that came out as flat and uninterested. At least that's what she said. I got annoyed she got mad. I thought she was wanting over the top accolades, and she thought I was being cold. Now I try real hard to show praise or 'thank" to an uncomfortable level. I feel foolish but extroverts like it. I'm not trying to be a people pleaser per say but I want them to understand that I do have feelings for what they do. Man is it difficult though.

    I’ve been accused of picking fights when something is bothering me. After dissecting that unwelcome tidbit of information I learned it’s actually VERY true. I noticed I do it mainly for two reasons. The first one is it allows me to express emotions I don’t like with a little less guilt in the moment (it’s hard to want to be nice to someone who’s being oppositional). Lastly, because I can ‘see’ and understand what I’m internally feeling (it’s a HUGE blind spot). I tend to intellectualize my feelings versus actually feeling them. Most days I feel like I need to be pushed to extremes to finally get to the full scope of what I’m feeling. I realize how unfair it is to use others in this manner but now that I’m aware hopefully I can find the steps to doing it right. The key will be finding the time to be alone with myself. Either that or revert back to my younger years and just listen to angry songs or watch sad movies to be able to emote. Thank you for the information. It really does help.

      Hi Kimberly! Appreciate this perspective. Are you an INFP?
      INFJ here married to an INFP. The video seemed to imply that an INFJ would be the one more likely to do this ... but your description sounds *exactly* like what happens to my wife when she is feeling negative emotions. I am much more likley to *absorb* than to *project* those emotions.
      We joke that she is the giant FM radio tower, sending out signals without even being aware of what song she's playing ... and I'm the radio in the car tuning in to the stations around me and stupidly feeling responsible for whether they blend into "Bohemian Rhapsody" lol.

    • @kimberlysoto3490
      @kimberlysoto3490 2 роки тому

      @@ryanschmidt4351 Hi. Love the example! Lol. I wondered about different types for a long while. Obsessively, just because I wanted the best possible information on how to help myself. Truth be told I was even kind of hoping for another type. 🤫
      So at times I even found myself trying to fit into other descriptions if I could get away with it. However, my dominant function is Ni and as hard as I tried I just couldn’t get away from that one.
      The ‘feelings’ part of everything was what always made me so jumbled up about pinpointing my type though. What I’m thinking is maybe it’s trauma that has me acting differently? When I was younger, I remember just absorbing feelings and knowing exactly how everyone felt just by walking into the room. This would present itself as anxiety in me though because I never really knew how I was feeling or quite sure what I was supposed to put out to the world. After so many years of repressed feelings, I think I may know have gained a little bit of experience but at the expense of any type of tolerance or being able to hold back. Now, I will absorb the feelings and they will feel foreign to me, but they will expressed. For example, if I’m ok and my SO comes in from work and has a bad day, I will instinctively try to talk and fix the issue so the good vibes will remain. If I’m not allowed that opportunity I can no longer hold that space in myself to deal with the baggage internally so he will get what he is feeding me. And then I’ll be thinking, “what the heck happened? I was completely fine until he came through the door.” Another thing that happens to me a lot is I can feel negative energy as a whole. For the longest, I hated being around my brother and could feel the second he got home (even if we were on different floors) just do to his “heaviness”. Last time he came around, everything about his presence felt much lighter. We were able to talk for hours and I didn’t really want him to leave. After a few prying questions, I learned he’s been doing a lot of internal heavy lifting.
      I honestly, think my body just doesn’t have the tolerance for it (for me repressed negative emotions turn into physical pain).
      Oh and that’s another thing I can absorb, bye. Yay me! 🙄 When it comes to my feelings (the huge blind spot) I have no idea what I’m feeling. Naturally, people start asking what’s wrong, and continue to ask because they think I just don’t want to tell them, and that’s where it all goes downhill.
      At this point, I need to isolate and be as far away from anyone else’s ‘stuff’ as possible. If I’m not able to, any amount of stimulus will make me feel attacked and cornered. I begin to feel a small fire brewing in the pit of my gut, that quickly turns to rage and I lash out. From this I’ve learned that I’m either granted the space to work through my emotions nicely or I will find a way to do it not so nicely.
      Currently, this is my main problem and I have yet to find a way to work around it.
      I think I may just be an INFJ whose been in grip stress for far too long.
      Does any of this still sound like your wife?
      If you can, please let me know. It does help! I am not married to any type and would love an excuse to revisit typing myself 😂. I still have not found the fun in being an INFJ so I might be luckier with another type. 😉

      ​@@ryanschmidt4351 this is my experience as well. I'm an INFJ, best friend is an INFP, husband ENTJ one child is an INTJ and the other is an ENFJ. I'm by far the least likely to pick fights, but I can definitely be goaded into them. I still feel very responsible for resolving the situation, though. I'm not sure if this video is more specific to Fe in the hero function. Sometimes my ENFJ will pick fights but it's usually after being criticized and triggered (as in he's picking up on a disruptive vibe from someone's Fi). My ESFJ mom will passive aggressively pick fights, occasionally.
      I wonder if it's also the perception of Fi users? Not realizing that they are throwing disruptive vibes that cause us to react past a certain point. Sometimes my Ni/Fe senses a disturbance in the Force and I will inquire in order to get it out on the table rather than just floating in the ether - not at all to start a fight but sometimes it does.

    INTP here. It's ki da weird how my Fe acts. I don't hate it, in fact, it's helped me forge connections and build bridges, possibly with the help of Ne, connecting the dots, solving the puzzle that is the person I'm talking to through Ti, ect.
    But all of the Fe stuff I've learned has not been aquired naturally, in fact, when I was young, I had almost no grasp of Fe. I'd always talk to loud or too quite, I suffered from severe shyness, I would always (and still do, at 17,) go on non-sequiters and weird tangents on things I'm passionate about, and I only started becoming concious of that in my freshman year. Essentially, I've either in two phases in the beginning of my high school year: one, I hated the validation of those besides my family. I entered the "you're all sheeple" phase, and I essentially became an edgelord. But on the other hand, I'd essentially divide others into groups based off of how popular they are, and I would try to assimilate myself into it. I made a fool out of myself, something I absolutely fear doing, myself.
    It's funny how that works, right? I need validation and comradely, but when I get it, I feel it's fake and false, so I retreat into "you're all a bunch of sheeple" mode once again.

    I say "thank you" a lot. But, I will definitely start eating a meal that my husband cooked without saying a thing until he asks me. (I've gotten used to the fact that he needs me to focus on the food when I begin to eat it and to say something about it) But, I have to be sincere too so I'm not automatically going to rush to say something if it doesn't jump out at me. I think it's a matter of valuing my own inner world so much that I want to be left alone to experience things at sacred times- and to me, eating is sacred. I hate having to wake up out of that so I can mutter a niceity that someone else has an emotional need for me to say - particularly if that need is steeped in a common societal rule. But, I must be a hypocrite then, because if he burps disgustingly, that's one thing, but if he burps disgustingly at the table without saying "excuse me" I'm livid.

      Are you asking me or?
      I think you are explaining things very well. When people contact me and ask me about cognitive functions, I like to send them your series ,,how to think as xx dom''. That's what I think of your explaining.
      I think that the reason of my ,confusion' is probably the fact that for Enneagram type 4, in their direction of disintegration (stress), 4s become over-involved and clinging at 2. That's the part of ourselves that we may dislike and everyone see Enfjs as stereotypical 2s. I mean, it's not for nothing.. Stereotypes are there for some reason. Most Enfjs are 2s.
      My Tritype is 417. Others say that's ,,the most altruistic type" so I guess that goes well with my Fe.
      However, I will always see myself rather as an Individualist than some Giver.

    Sometimes I notice a wonderful quality in someone, or find their outfit very flattering. I can feel lots of positive energy inside and am compelled to share that with them. ie. Tell them how awesome they are with a lot of positive body language. Is that Fe or Fi?

    Fascinating that you seem to prefer the use of eth (voiced dental fricative) over theta (unvoiced dental fricative) in your pronunciation of “thank.” How novel!

    Im an intj with abandonment issues so i need to know how others feel before acting. If their pattern changes i panic. Ive been raised to say thank you when someone does something for you (however specifically if you know) like example would be at a food court getting served by the lunch lady and going "thank you". But if i get something and dont actually feel thank full but say it, it sounds like im in pain. Like "thAnk YUo..." with a face of "why".😂 so idk if im an infj or intj. I only say, i love you to my family but on an empty level like fact and expected rather than actually. I DO love them but not just as a feeling? I love what they do or say or think. Love is a strong word. No one outside of my family. I feel better telling them i "appreciate you" especially when i am happy with what they provide for me and our relationship. I use my feelings to understand others and its easier to give advice to solve an emotional problem if ive experienced it. If ive not experienced it i just feel uncomfortable and what to solve their problem. I constantly misread emotional ques. I think i did good because i observed the sensory and the observed how their pattern of behavior has changed and i get what they might need but when it comes to the emotional words, if i do get it right it was sheer luck. What do others think? Infj or intj? Ive seen Jung describe the Ni dominant to be the same either way so i guess it doesnt matter however it would be good to know to help grow as a person. "What are my actual weaknesses?" Mentality.

    I’m INFP but my F and T are somewhat borderline. So while the auxiliary and tertiary functions are the same. The dominant and inferior are opposite but they’re also opposite in terms of introverted and extroverted so I’m just trying to figure out what the hell is going on and differences between Fi, Fe, Ti and Te. And understand where I need to improve as a person. I don’t know how develops each of my functions even are but the functions are just confusing my brain. It’s an overload of information.
    It doesn’t help I have dyslexia so lots of letters sometimes fly over my head.

      That evasion is unbecoming. Be prepared to show off some girl once you start bragging about having a wife. Anyway INFP, don't forget that your unique inner vision is part of your ultimate beauty. But if you want to appear socially assimilated as part of an ideal, you should ready to take the follow-up steps, or you will look weak in the public eye. I guess that's why I'm writing this comment... I don't know you, but you looked better two years ago. You know what I mean? Congrats on getting this far, in any case. I mean, you even caught my attention. I have been waiting for a secret boyfriend unveil, and just wondered so hard at what has made you who you are, all the trials and tribulations you've overcome and who was involved in that. I had an idea of you being with some awful INTJ dorky boyfriend or maybe a sporty ENTJ? Let's see this lady who is the wind beneath your wings now. You said it. Everyone will want to see her now! And there's no getting around it either.

      @@Niljonah As an INFP female (I sometimes wonder whether and how INFP males and females differ) I would feel that merely discussing my spouse is already a big personal step! Also, your comment, as a whole, brings me to question how I myself, would deal with feedback from others. On the one hand, I care deeply about how I'm seen by others (partly because I spend most of my waking life blind to it) and on the other hand, I hate being put on the spot and am totally resistant to making changes based on other people's opinions....but they will fester within me until I can eventually decide how I truly feel about it. If I put myself in Sherman's shoes, which I kind of automatically did already, I guess, I would say that going ahead with your request would untimely end in regret, unless I spent much time deliberating on it beforehand. Anything that I feel pressured to do usually ends badly and this is something where I feel I need other INFPs to commiserate with but also, I think I need someone of another personality type to help me find success in these situations where I'm being asked to put myself out there.

    • @Niljonah
      @Niljonah 4 роки тому +1

      @@roseloren3555 Well if you don't want to do something then don't do it, and anyone can take that advice, including Sherman regardless of what I said or anyone else thinks. So, if you take ownership of your response to anything, then I'd say what counts is what you think is right, and then you can choose to bend to pressure or not, etc. But on the other hand, people lose respect if they can't respond adequately in situations, and it's not really worth debating whether you should ignore them or not when actually, a person making a demand of you is letting you know of some social expectation from a point of view. An INFP ought to do what they think will help bring about the best result they can think of given any situation, but then again, this is advice that anyone could take. How important is one's reputation? What should that rightly be based on! And then, who do you want to know what about you, and why? There are all sorts of things to weigh out when making any decisions. I personally think a person should be ready to deal with typical social pressures in each situation, because it's predictable, and in a way it's an appropriate test of a person's authenticity or skill (and competence). So I give people shit sometimes because I want to see what they'll do. I give people a chance to help me believe in the best impression of them I could imagine. I prefer to see the best in people, I am a kind of idealist myself, but I'm an intelligent one. Anyone who is as smart as me can give practically anyone any impression that they are looking for from someone. There really is a gray area regarding ideal personal authenticity and having it your way in life while dealing with diverse perspectives, lol. You have to decide what's most important when doing things with regards other people's influence. I have a set of values just like an INFP, so in a way, my decisions make themselves based on the situation. Hopefully you can take something away from this, and I'd say it's just to be in touch with what helps you make decisions. Ultimately we need to have a connection to some method or a judgment system within ourselves that is either practiced enough or developed to a point where it helps us live the life we want the most by relying on it. An INFP can figure that out by carefully paying attention to their feelings in different situations. There are other ways of doing the same thing, but that's my advice for you. You wouldn't actually need a rule of thumb, just focus on if you are happy or not after you respond to circumstances that involve social pressure. Some people are harder on themselves than others though, lolz. People can be so cute and amusing or sad at times. Sometimes I wish I were more committed to teaching people basic things, but I do help that some of what I said helps you or anyone else who read this in some way...
