Isn't this true for all the functions; that those with opposing functions/function lower in stack, might not see what they are trying to say because of differing viewpoints? Perhaps you notice it more in Ti users because lower Fe will project their lesser developed feeling side, which usually results in their frustration. I think their Fe makes them want others to understand too.
Yes, to an extent. But whenever I engage with strong Ti types or observe them interacting with others, at first I don't really grasp what they are on about, however after working it over in my mind I suddenly realise just how....well....right they usually are about something.
The evidence in what they state is often right there in front of people, but has to be examined to be seen by those not that strong in Ti.
This is hard for me to say since it sounds like i'm sucking Ti's dick, but it's a realisation ive had whenever I have been examining some of the arguments made on here. Which isn't to say they are ALWAYS right, but they very often are. Even though right is just a perspective, when backed up by evidence that anyone can see, it does lend it a convincing edge.
Hence double edged sword, because it is both rich in logic and yet poor in recognition. Fi for example often leaves an individual feeling misunderstood, but Fi is not a function of truth except what truth can be understood as incredibly individual to that person and their values.
It doesn't really have anything to do with the logical constructs of the human world, it's systems and it's behaviour, whereas Ti is both personal and not at the same time in this respect.
Ni as a function can be a misunderstood series of concepts, but Ni is just raw perception of information, gestated into rather mystical visions of internal interpretation, although this is not necessarily a good thing, since Ni doms usually struggle with getting that vision back to the real world without feeling that it is being diluted.
In any case Ni's idea of truth is that anything can potentially be true and all angles are essentially correct and incorrect at the same time. Fun to muse on, but often useless for application.
Si is misunderstood because people assume that Si doms are trying to control the environment around them based upon external criteria, such as rules, laws and collective values. However this is actually a misrepresentation of Si as a function. This is actually the effect of an Si dominants secondary function as Si is incredibly individual in what it chooses to pick up on and take with it for an individual.
But once again this is just stored information, it does not reveal anything other than what the individual wishes to get out of it in terms of personalised experiences they understand as being essential.
None of these really produce the same 'truths' that Ti does on a regular basis.
And as for those ive left out...well i didn't want to make it much longer, but Te and Fe are so strongly prevalent in most cultures that any misunderstanding of them is rather small and cliche, such as a feeling type considering a Te type to be harsh and overly critical, or a Thinking, (or Fi type
), perceives Fe as cloying and false. Se is what it is and most Se doms would probably say something to this effect.
