I personalize my post because it has been requested of me to do so. What are you trying to draw out or add to this thread by posting this comment? Explain please. And perhaps you might want to review my other posts to provide a context for you.
Naturally, stuff about "me" is subjective, but it was my hope to illuminate the topic further in sharing this way.
FYI - my Fi is all for me - none for you, and I recognize where it is unwelcome. I don't walk around presuming it is understood or cared about.
And you see, this is precisely the issue at hand. Someone says something critical about the manifestation of Fi to the outside world. Some Fi-users come in and justify it without qualification. Other Fi-users generalize, saying that all functions have their good and bad, without ever quite admitting that this particular aspect of Fi is screwed up. Ti users pick up on this non-apology apology pretty quickly, and call them out on it, leading to more fire and brimstone from the Fi users. A truce is called with both sides agreeing not to talk about it... but the question remains unanswered.
Fi is not strictly personal. The rest of us have it in our lives, too - through the interactions with y'all. We want to know it better, but more importantly, we also don't want to be dismissed outright when we have reasonable criticism, to be treated as if we had made a personal assault on the Fi-user's character. That's all.
