And those who ponder predictable ego-trips (I.e: "anything that is not ME is not right", or deemed as "primitive" or "uninteresting") are obviously suffering from a faillure of basic curiosity or necessary empathy.
Oh, most esteemed sir!
I am incandescent with empathy for every melancholy poet who has composed such compelling beauty as an allegory about a pair of dirty socks!
I tell you the truth, you've got to live it to feel it, as CC eloquently put it, Fi, you just do not understand it unless you have it!
And I did not until I myself had nothing in my life to cherish more than a pair of dirty socks!
I rebuke myself for having lacked empathy and curiosity to understand this earlier!
--------------------------------------------------------------
`So, I implore you, somebody, (anybody), try to linearly and logically explain Fi, for I simply cannot, asking me to do so is like asking me to justify my, I don't know, my entire existence, I guess..
Lets knock the crap off shall we?
Definitions,
Feeling:Faculty of subjective valuation.
Introversion: Orientation by the internal mindset rather than the external object.
Introverted Feeling: Orientation of Feeling by an internal mindset.
Introverted and Extroverted Feeling distinguished: Fi is distinct from Fe in the regard that it does not embrace the feelings of others on board by default, but first it is filtered through the unconscious subjective valuation of the person in question.
Rationale of Fi: The process of subjective valuation is entirely arbitrary as is Feeling by definition. Whatever made the strongest impression on the person is by definition valued by Fi.
Reason why Fi appears mysterious and Fe does not: The valuation of Fi is grounded in the subject, not the object, therefore it is not clearly what is influencing the values of Fi. However, Fi in itself is a mere subjective valuation just like Fe. It does nothing other than, when I am pinched "Ouch!". It simply appears mysterious because we do not see the stimulus of the emotion.
Important note: Fi is not individualistic. Feeling is a mere direct consequence of an impact by an external object. The only way Fi could be individualistic is if it is impacted by a faculty of the intellect, such as imagination or logical analysis. This Fi's tend to lack because they are primarily influenced by emotions which are an extrinsic influence not intrinsic for the reasons mentioned before.
In other words, if I am using Fi only I am influenced by the mere emotional reactions that have been bestowed upon me as a result of my interaction with the external environment. Now, if I am an analytical and an imaginative person as well as an Fi user, or my faculties of Thinking and Intuition hold primacy over Feeling, my emotional reactions will be to my thoughts and visions, not to mere external stimulus.
Because the former is the case with Fis and not the latter, there is nothing complex or deeply internally grounded (as often regarded for Fi to be) about Fi.
Thus, the following statement is clearly false,
.........[/Therefore, unlike its extraverted counterpart, Extraverted Feeling, it is entirely individualistic, with a leaning toward the mystical. Introverted feeling is generally disconnected with typical external stimuli. Introverted feeling is only concerned with the external to the extent that the object has some relevance to a deep, internal value. Its primary objective is to harmonize ideologies, concepts, relationships etc. with the internal guiding force."......
