I was wondering about something; how do INFJs compare in the use of their Feeling preference to other Fe-preferenced types?
The reason I ask is because I consistently see descriptions of INFJs emphasize the importance of "relationships"; despite my dislike of emotional conflict or similarly turbulent environments, I don't consider "helping others find their purpose" to be my raison d'etre...
Instead, I feel like I prefer writing, detailing the complex stories, characters and emotions that formulate in my head so they are not forgotten. I want to write stories, draw graphic novels, etc. Is there any way this desire to express and share my inner creativity related to my Auxiliary Fe function?
(I apologize if this thread ended up being more 'personal' than its title indicated, but I'm still curious about the overall differences between INFJs and other F-types. Are we generally more detached and logical and 'unfeeling' than other feeling types? Are our Feeling-preferences more clandestine, and seen more in our actions and words than in our demeanors and expressions?)
