You may be overcomplicating a little. If your feeling is violated, you're going to react with feeling, regardless of whether you're Te/Fi or Fi/Te, for example. It's why I relate 100% perfectly with the NFPs who have posted here; even if NFPs are more likely to rely on their Fi, on a daily basis, when you're presented with a situation that can't be resolved with logic, then feeling is what you have to rely on.I think there's truth in this.
Interesting. I identify with Fe much more, but also with EJCC's post. I could talk about my feelings, it would just be rambling I wouldn't want to burden others with. And it takes me awhile to completely figure them out. So Fe probably. But I do a lot of Te stuff, almost obsessively (or is that Fe?). What would the Ti response be then? I can see in/justice as the feeling response from Ti-Fe, but how would they go about solving problems? I think an Fi dom/aux would focus on making the feelings right along with taking steps to solve the problem; Te-Fi would put priority the other way around, Fe-Ti would focus on wrongdoing and analyzing the wrongdoer, but I don't really know how Ti fits in otherwise. Maybe Ti doesn't solve people problems. haha Or they just try to find out what is logical in a situation? But that would depend on circumstances, Fe stuff, and then they would have to find out how to transfer this idealized logical response to the real world.
A bit off topic maybe, but it's the natural progression.
I legitimately don't know what the problem-solving process would be like for Fe users. I know that I was talking to [MENTION=7111]fidelia[/MENTION] a bit ago about how some NFJs will go through a similar "make this emotion go away" process with anger, as opposed to with sadness, but she didn't go into details.
Also [MENTION=5418]Lady X[/MENTION] is right -- I hear a lot more of that sort of talk from my Fe family members and friends.
e.g. if you asked an Fe person I know about a traumatic event in their childhood, they'd be quick to attribute the blame. It would be all about who the blame went to. That would be how they coped with the event, would be attributing blame. Whereas if you asked me, or one of my Fi friends, it would be less about whose fault it was, and more about the fallout from the event -- how it made me feel, why it made me feel that way, how I looked within myself to see why it made me upset (and here might be where I attribute blame, but I wouldn't be considering blame to be the most important thing). There would be a deeper conclusion at the end, than "It was this event or this person, end of story"; more like "I couldn't tolerate that event because I reacted a particular way; some of it was because of the person or the event, but if the same thing had happened to me now, I may have reacted differently."
If I'm right, then I suppose you could phrase it like this: Lack of who/what/where/when/why information -- replaced by irrational Fe judgments and assumptions -- makes Ti stressed out, so Ti will try to create order out of chaos by contributing that information and providing closure that way. Whereas overwhelming, animalistic, value-based feeling, overwhelming your senses and your reason, is what stresses Te out, so Te will try to create order out of chaos by calming the feelings down, validating them so that they stay content and won't try to rise up again.
Everyone, let me know if I'm leading [MENTION=15773]greenfairy[/MENTION] in the wrong direction here.
