I think i get finally, that you can't understand Fi logically , you need to shut off logic to understand it.
Actually, it's more like understanding there is more than one system of logic to go around

And yes, Ti does need to be shut down to make room for Fi. I have the same problem, coming from the other side. It's..uncomfortable at best, ime, and feels incredibly limiting. That said... it is worth that peek
I will never use Ti as my main thing. But I can appreciate it when a Ti-user walks me through his thought process - it provides me with an entire new angle on the subject matter that I've already thoroughly vetted through Fi. It gives a more well-rounded picture of the world.
And like you, I try and stay clear (for the most part) of Ti-users that are still learning since I don't trust them not to inflict harm on others (let's just say that their...'logic system' wrt to personal boundaries and dealing with other people -and god forbid, themselves and their own fears - usually has some gaping holes in it). However, it is my own lack of ability to handle Ti properly that gets in my way, because mature Ti-users and even mature Fe-users have no problem handling those guys with ease and undoing any damage they may inflict upon their environment.
Try it - see if you can convince a mature Fi-user to be your tour guide

Of course...that would require actually acknowledging the possibility that Fi might just...be as logical as Ti is. And that perhaps you're not the end-all master (or judge, for that matter
So, I'm curious - what is stronger in an ENTP? The thirst for Knowledge and Truth? Or the sense of superiority regarding logic and reason and their mastery thereof?
