Fe types are hiding. But Se types are running, constantly in motion, filling their guts (foodies), or they're drunk; or maybe they are just workaholics who work from sunup to sundown. Get up, feed the kids, go to work, work eight hours, go to the store, put gas in the car, go home, put away the groceries, go for a jog, cook dinner, do the dishes, and then finally relax with a mighty crash on the couch. What is it all for? The obvious reason is to obtain the immediate goal of making money (job) to pay for the groceries and the rent or mortgage and gas for the car so the activity can start all over again tomorrow. But what would happen, psychologically, if it all came to a sudden stop? Those things the Se type is running from: first, worry; second, depression; third, non-existence. The Se type is pursuing life (or at least their idea of it) in order to avoid confronting death.
