I blame my mother. She was an ESFJ who wished I was too.
Also another thing I suspect may resemble Fi - I know it sounds vain, but if I don't look good, I don't really like to be seen. Last week I got hives from accidentally eating corn in a soup, and it lasted for a few days. I still had to go to school and work, but I was abnormally reclusive and paranoid that people were looking at me. I wasn't my usual chatty self. Since my temporary introvertedness was influenced by my embarrassment (which is a feeling) rather than anything actually logical (studying for finals, etc), that suggests that I may be influenced by "how I feel inside".
Feel + Inside = fi.
That's not Fi.
Whether it's function-related at all is somewhat questionable, but it could just as well be explained by Fe: your outwardly-sourced feelings were causing fear/anxiety based on what others/the group may think about you for having hives.
An example of Fi would be not giving a damn what others/the group think, and pushing aside all the external pressures/forces associated with others' judgments about the hives (if the Fi-user possessed these values). This is not necessarily the case, but one would expect the Fi-user to deal with it in this way, if they dealt with it positively/healthily at all.
The Fe-user's way of positively/healthily dealing with it would probably look something more like, "we should all accept and love each other, and so people should be accepting of and loving towards me, regardless of whether I have these hives."
Anyway, you clearly need a better understanding of the functions.
Someone, please provide a good link to some definitions of Fi and Fe.
