Touch is my number one love language. Touch has nothing to do with Fi or Fe. If anything, I would guess it to maybe be more important to people with Se or Si versus Ni or Ne.
i would like to point out, ive very recently been thinking about this same subject, and arrived to the conclusion you communicate your feelings with where its attached to.
that means, f function adjecent to s function leads to touch preference more often than f adjecent to n, however, leads to romance preference which i have a strong preference for, even to the point of being a demisexual. (feelings over physical contact, aka being a hopeless romantic.)
and, it depends which you prefer more: to listen your feelings or relaying them to the next function, like for isfp's you must tap into listening your Te to have more controlled feelings and for better understanding the external world,(and the way you enjoy your feelings, but when expressing them not from outside to in but from inside to out, you use sensing) but enfp's for example do it opposite way, which means well developed enfp can feel authentic with their expressions representing their feelings completely, at times, as long as their Te>Si>Ne chain is intact and Si posesses information/or invents on spot on how to express yourself in an original way.
also, i have arrived to the consensus, for me, apart from expressivity, interjections are the best verbal way to express my feelings, especially.. when the exclamations used are original, then, i can feel authentic to what i blurt out.
It is qute simple just make categories :
1. You should not be angry because nothing else couldn't be done
2. You are depressed because of real reason instead of the some vague reasons (problems in school and work)
3. Quarter of your belief system is obviously inconsisted with what you embraced tomorrow.
4. The amount of nervous brake downs in the last month
etc.
And then you observe how many times the person will show some of the traits and what will cause them. I mean this is a childlish play for the situations when a NT has nothing to do so ......
Plus as you probaly already realize this is a perfect way how to annoy an FP. (or scare them when they realize you are cutting their soul apart just to see what it is in there and what provokes them ) Since the last thing they want to is being treated as a "thing" or feeling "naked" around the strangers .
funny, thats how i treat myself, and i find that idea.. rather enthralling. and i also find being naked in front of others something i normally thrive for, not in a literal sense though. it would be irrational to feel you require some barrier to protect yourself from others, i know it instantly if someone is keeping a part of themselves from me, and i know very well how easy it is to see what happens inside. the difference between open and keeping one of your internal functions to yourself is huge, it instantly labels you on my gray zone when i cant feel your internals, i basically avoid these people as they tend to have ego/aggression issues, generally dangerous and unpredictable due to excess of mental problems caused by stupidity or mental laziness. and no, your Ni is not secret, its very easy to spot as Ni doms and aux's as they generally become confident enough in trusting their Ni, its as if there were always a second set of eyes probing me when im around them. tertiary Ni's generally arent that visible, but recognized from the lack of conscious probing.
and when ni is fourth, the person seems unreal to me, as if it didnt exist, just some program doing whatever it was programmed to do, seeming completely fake, from outside of this reality. unless they develop their Ni, in which case the results can be rather amazing. but have only met one of such, so the ratio is not looking good.
That is not logic that is lack of belief in "the model".
For me it makes much more sense to measure the functions with a test .... it is much more empirical and individually correct in my opinion. I have "Fi - limited use" so I dont consider myself to be a Fi user .... or to place more it precisely "I am not a good example of typical Fi usage".
If the Great one decides to study Fi on me the results could easily be pretty inconclusive or counter-productive in understanding of stronger Fi usage. (what is the actual topic here) So I have phrased my argument this way , even if it might be misleading.
actually i haave to disagree here, intj's would be the best example of Te-Fi connection out there, as the other options are istj, (generally predators, id stay away from) or extj's, for whose weakness irt is and thus not so much to study but to teach.
if i were ixfp, id be busy studying intj's to understand te>fi relation since te controls fi in ixfp's as it does on you.
although those are not my weaknesses, thus i have not much to learn there, and my weakness, si, is something which doesnt take learning from outside but rather from within, and rather resilience to blame yourself for lack of awareness + accept yourself for what material you are. thus i doubt esXj's could teach me anything i couldnt discover on it myself, except mature estj's might. like for example today i forgot to purchase butter, now the salad i bought has to be eaten as it is, but i can prevent this from happening in future by reflecting what i did wrong, which was following my random thoughts instead of thinking what i came to purchase.
