This to me is really beneficial for Fe-PoLRs because they are overwhelmed by excessive outward displays of emotion. They don't understand that it doesn't necessarily change the TRUE inner feelings of someone towards them -- they get scared by the intensity of the "present" emotion and feel like perhaps the entire relationship is ruined, or just have no idea where they stand anymore. This is why Fi-seekers need a more stable base, more stable emotions.
Great analysis.
