IDK123's comments are really interesting though as I thought Fe sort of watched from the outside.
Supposedly, if you feel "sad", I will feel "sad" because I am actually absorbing all your emotional energy (Fe). This is why many profiles say that Fe types tend to lose themselves in others if they don't consider themselves.
If you feel "sad", I feel "sad" with you because that is how I would personally feel in your situation (Fi). This is why Fi types tend to be much better at comforting because of the personal approach to life. There is the difference between Fe and Fi theoretically. That is why i thought the examples in the OP sounded more Fe than Fi.
Fi to me, always seem to know what the individual actually feels, thinks, and values. In the end, the Fi user will be genuine to themselves and will be less likely affected by others' moods and know what he or she actually thinks/feels of the situation.
Fe types, IMO tend to actually absorb the emotional energy in the room to the point where they sometimes confuse the emotions, values, and thoughts of others as their own (if they don't watch out). Both functions can be highly empathetic.
