no, you make sense! thank you for explaining.
i think what hkkmr wrote about me is correct, as far as my use of Fe. Fe isn't really about unrestrained emotional expression, especially not from an Fe-creative. i think "deliberate" would be better word than "unrestrained"; it's really pretty controlled.
you say intertype-wise IEI fits perfectly for you, but does it? due to Identical vibes, April would have to be retyped IEI, and due to differences between us, i would have to be typed something other than IEI, etc.
let me tell you, i was once best friends with an LSE. we initially connected because we shared some interests, had compatible senses of humor, and i think we were both the kind of people who felt somewhat on the periphery socially. so, i don't think it's impossible to connect with a Conflictor. (the relation of Conflict made itself more obvious once we moved out and got an apartment together. it was during that time, miserably living with her, that i actually joined this forum.)
i would say that it's not necessarily that strange to confuse SLE and LSE, because they are Quasi-identicals, share the same strong functions, etc. and of course, it's not impossible to be friends with people in your opposing quadra; two of my friends in real life at the moment are IEE and EII.
anyway, i still don't think IEI is impossible for you, but i do think that EII is a better fit based on what i know about you now; and i do think your interaction with hkkmr in this thread was telling
