Ni vs Fi - NiFe vs FiNe

The inferior usually plays up when the urges of the primary are denied for some reason. The inferior grip is often an attempt to 'drown out' the unforefilled urges of primary by overindulging the opposite function.

Not when the inferior was neglected for too long? I did neglect feelings stuff before alot.

Ways of thinking that aren't maintainable are often associated with the shadow function. These functions are too similar to primary and auxiliary functions, which means any attempt to think that way invariably cause the persons thoughts to drift towards patterns more like those because the call of the primary/auxiliary is too strong. The same is fundamentally true of the tertiary and inferior functions, but because these functions aren't as strong, the process of drift takes longer. Also the passing similarity to the primary/auxiliary can act to make them seem more familiar to the primary/auxiliary functions, causing a person to try thinking that way, only to find they can't keep it up. For example, an IFJ trying to decide what is important to them on a personal level (a Ji urge) may try to make the decision in an Fi style, calling upon arguments of morality or their own emotional experiences, but will tend to find themselves making a final decision based upon what they judge to be necessary because that is what the much stronger Fe urge wants. To actually make the original decision, they need to engage their Ti and think about appeals to them ona technical level, because Ti is the Ji function that can avoid being sucked in by the dominant social urge of Fe.

By not maintainable I meant it's too much stress to be like that. There is no drifting whatsoever like that

Seems cool, mind sharing for the other types?
