Has anyone else experienced this? Lately, I've been feeling like my Fe has either withered or died and I'm not able to interact with or relate to people comfortably. I've never been even close to what someone would describe as "warm and fuzzy", but I have been able to understand and even empathize at times with another person's emotional states.

So what's up? Is my Ti acting up or what?

My first thought would be that maybe you are under stress or something is bothering you.

Or that you'ld have started dealing with your own problems. What wouldnt be too bad if you havent done it before.

Ti is more like emotionally blind. For Fe being emotionally dead it could mean that one is very submerged in own problems or, like Disney said, that something someone did bothered you and disappointed you moreso than you noticed.

I have seen countless Feelers who exhibit almost no emotion.

INFJ under stress mode. It's a common reaction among introverted feelers to either emotionally withdraw from others under stress. Self-protective mechanism. Prolonged stress can result in this.

It is very difficult to be warmth exuding and have generosity of spirit when you are not receiving enough fuel for life. Chances are you are drained because you are not aligned with the things and people you love. I find when I haven't been pursuing my passions or been receiving tender care from others my heart dries up like a raisin.

My fe can be weird. It always helps me navigate through social situations and is present with people who I care about. While I am a deeply caring person, there is often a null void within me, and I go through periods of being uber expressive, to being barely expressive at all. Well, I'd say generally, I'm quiet, and people who don't know me well can't tell what's going on beneath the surface but there is a lot going on inside. I have trouble processing it a lot of the time though.
