cascadeco Thanks for your input! I've noticed that I do tend to get very passionate about my feelings but ONLY if I'm a) comfortable enough with the person to express myself in such a way and b) if I'm actually passionate enough to talk about whatever is the source of such feelings. And I'm very picky regardless with what feelings I choose to share with people.
Regardless, I do find myself to be overly...passionate? as a person. However, despite the fact that I don't share these passionate emotions with a lot of people (due to fear or anxiety or whatever), I do want to. I absolutely LOVE expressing myself outwardly - my ideas, my passions, my interests, my opinions, my feelings, everything. I WANT people to know me and understand me and my likes and dislikes. It feels nice to be understood and validated by others.
I feel like I'm just talking to myself at this point haha, but I don't care because it's kinda therapeutic. (And it's helping me reach a better conclusion on my type - slowly, but surely.)
Yep, and that's the very nature of extroverted feeling. You have the desire to express. Being an Fe user doesn't mean you'll call Obama and tell him every little thing on your mind. Fe users also are careful about who they emote to. So I don't express my feelings to my parents or to a lot of my friends at all because I can either worry about what they'll say or do or think, but I can express it writing).
Oh and PS: I live in a family with a good amout of Fi/little use of Fe ...so yes... they are more contained than I am (so less passionate) so I end up feeling like I am the only obviously sensitive one in the family.
