Other than that I think it causes a premature finality and stops progress or at least slows it down by sugar coating and difusing things in the moment that will probably be revisited in the future.

I personally need to put up boundaries and give myself time to process when in the midst of a conflict because otherwise I tend to allow my own needs to dissolve under the onslaught of the other person's feelings, even if I'm the injured party. Sometimes forcing someone to fully hash things out prematurely will do more damage to the relationship in the long run than you'd think, depending on what functions the parties involved prefer.

More on topic, I'm e5 and my least preferred function to use is Si.

I am a 7 and find everything hilarious. Everything that is limiting to me finding things hilarious I dislike. I dont understand the hate towards Fe, because I fail to get the logical sense behind it. I doubt there is one.

I accept versatility and the 6 wing is loyal to the people I think are wise and good at heart. I like people with a questioning nature, who do understand the philosophy that there are no absolute answers and that everything is relative and open-ended.

I dont like haters or aggressive people.

I am a 9 and have issues with too much Si. Makes me feel like I am being suffocated by meaningless, dumb rules. Just chill people.

I'm a 4w5, and the function that gets to be tossed in my vomit bucket is Fe. Being excessively driven by authenticity, I sometimes see fakeness where there is none. I'm aware that I shouldn't, but I keep associating Fe with "programmed behavior". Fe strikes me as unnatural, forced. I feel like using Fe deprives people from their identity. Don't "aww" at animals, clap your hands at a concert, shuggercoat the truth to protect people's feelings(what I call an excess of tact), cry at rememberance day and indulge in social niceties just because you've "learned" that this is "appropriate" behavior(or what is socially accepted as appropriate behavior). If you do those things out of your honest heart, good for you. If not, the store of self-respect is just nearby, for your information. They sell all kinds of things like subjectivity, opinions, tastes. Flavors of authenticity, impuslivity and Natural are greatly recommanded. Everyone is different, and there's no way I beleive that the concept of "average, normes" exist in terms of Natural Reactions. De-program yourself for the love of cuccumbers!

Si, Se and Te have given me hell in the past and present, but at least I can see their importance. In contrast, I really have to screw with my head to beleive in the usefulness of Fe.

Even though I'm ESTP, I still don't like Fe. Maybe since I'm only 22, I need to wait for it to kick in before I see what all the fuss is about?

Si can just go suck me.

Fe too..... I hate it. I've successfully been able to get rid of some of it. You can reason it away lol......

Actually that's in myself.... in others, I hate Fi much worse.

1's, 2's, and 3's ..... I wouldn't say I dislike them, but they get on my nerves and I tend to stay away from them.

If you 'hate' a function, you're not understanding it correctly :)

Hatred stems from close-mindedness and the belief that you are superior. Sorry, boring answer, but I really, really believe that you should just admire the qualities in other people that you don't have.

I find unhealthy Fe doms to be incredibly annoying.

4w5 and Fe. I see the benefits it bestows but it's hard to constantly feel restricted. Still working on when to use Fe and when to use Fi. Ti baffles me. Not so much annoys me, but baffles and blindsides me. It's on my list.

Ohh I even know when and how, coz it's the moments when I'm clearly failing and fumbling up, the moments that I panick as I *lack* data to solve the situation. And even if I manage not to panick, the idea of having to gather data *that* way is just...urghhhh...do I have to?? Really?? Such a waste of effing time :alttongue:

why does your profile say XNFX when you're so obviously an ENFP

Ne + Fe ENTPs are annoying, especially when they're the 7 or 8 variety.
