I know, excuse the lame thread title.
Anyway, I think I've gained a new understanding about something, about a quote from Jung "'But I can't think what I don't feel'".
This quote is taken directly from his description of extroverted feeling. The meaning of it has finally sunk in, and I shall give you an everyday taste of what he meant in this next quote:
To the user I took this from, I am sorry. But I don't care. This is a pretty good example of Jung's statement about Fe.
Extroverted Feelers don't realize much that they take in external data and shape it into their "liking." Feeling is already subjective in a way (doesn't matter it Fi or Fe), so that is probably why feelers in general enjoy thinking about their "core values". However, it is the extroverted feeler that "manipulates" the external information to fit what they believe so they can use their introverted thinking function to process it.

I have A LOT of Fi. Like I said before, I'm an IMMENSELY emotional person and whenever I learn new information or discover a new idea or theory, I internalize it and find some way to relate it back to myself and my core values. Anything that happens in my surroundings feels like it has everything to do with me (which makes me a really selfish person also because I feel like the world revolves around me). I'm very sensitive when it comes to my own feelings (not as much others - but I still have more sensitivity with others feelings than most people) - I take people's words to heart. I'm very sensitive to the things that happen to me - they completely shape my perception and values for the world and myself.
