Really surprised by all the xSFJ hate. There really isn't a particular type that I dislike.

do you think they repel each other more than any other cognitive process combination? because i think so
That'd be consistent with my theory that Fi and Fe repel each other.

In my experience, yes, but I don't have a good theory as to why this happens, unfortunately. However, it may have to do with the fact that it's a judging function; I'm not very familiar with Ti/Te types and how they feel about the opposing function, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were just as opposed.

I think this article explains the rift between Fi and Fe pretty well. The important point is near the end of the page.

it that case maybe the hatred comes mostly from the introverted user.
out of the to of my head i can see Te being more annoying to Ti users than the opposite, Ne being annoying to Ni users, and Si/Se i have NO idea.

cool article. i find it funny when he says in the begg that no one understands Fi, because for me it feels like the easiest, more definite thing in the world.
regarding the Fi/Fe thing, i don't understand this (part in bold). i just can't grasp it, for me it's crazy:
"Because Fi judgments are formed independent of cultural convention, IFPs tend to be skeptical of Fe. Since Fe is in many ways more generic and predictable, IFPs can see it as inauthentic and contrived. They fail to recognize that Fe types are not intentionally being fake or insincere, but are being authentic to themselves; not in an Fi sense, but an Fe sense."
and this was me and my mum (ENFJ):
"Nonetheless, IFP children can find it extremely difficult, confusing, and damaging if raised by an FJ parent who insists they put on a “happy face.”"

I think this article explains the rift between Fi and Fe pretty well. The important point is near the end of the page.

I think this creates difficulty for any kind of child. When they grow up, they get to hear - you only focus on the negative in a situation! <said FJ> Well no shit. There are no issues with the positive, why would I focus on them? I want to make changes to the negative you fucking retard! You're too busy putting a happy face on every situation, no matter how critical, to even see the difference. Just stick your head back in that hole and get out of my way.

Not targeting any FJ in particular, it's just that general - be happy, no sad face attitude some have.

Interestingly, I get this more now from my INTP SO than I ever did from my FJ/SJ parents. I also have the same response: no need to work on the things that don't need fixing.

I use to hear it from my ENFJ, until I explained it like this. Ok, mostly like this but I do think he was willing to see it's the perception of a situation and not simply being a negative person.

It's funny that NF's seem to dislike SJ's when SJ's pretty much have the same functions. You'll get along better when you both develop.
