Just be wary that with the power of Fi, there comes some responsibilities. I noticed that guy friends who have bared their soul with me and trusted me with their problems, and such, tend to like me romantically after wards.

    Fi, being my base function, has helped me tremendously in many ways. It makes me fully aware of my feelings about myself, and how other people are feeling as well, and often why they feel that way. I can pinpoint exactly what is bothering 99% of the time having this high self-awareness. With this in mind, I then avoid the people who make me feel "uneasy."

    The ability to give genuine compliments, see the good in others also is Fi.
    This is why I get so emotional when people don't see the real me and see what they perceive as a person in their own imagination, who can often be that person who left a scar in them. There are a lot of hurt people who can't get past their past issues and see every new person as a new and unique experience.

    I often see those in people who don't see it in themselve.

    How has Fi helped you in ways?
    Me too, I really can do this with ease. It's because people can trust me. Gaining and keeping trust is very important to me; it's all apart of Fi and proper maintanance of relationships.

    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE
