Anyways, from what Rhaegar accurately described of the EIE in my social circle, I cannot tell you how irksome it is. (Especially doesn't help when he's my ex and has the same friends as I) When I say something, he will tell me what I shouldn't be doing. Feels like I'm a child being scolded on what's right and wrong. He doesn't even back up these moral claims, just says them to say them. When I ask him on why I shouldn't be doing it, two scenarios occur: (mostly ends up going both ways) Gets away with the scolding by trying to change the topic, throws a tantrum and walks away. Let me just say, I've found the walking away to be quite entertaining nowadays!
Getting back to my original point, when I'm expected to be around Fe, I'm sensitive to the air they can bring to a group. I would say that in terms of EIE and ESE, I find the ESE to be more tolerable because they tend to bring a little more positivity and solace that I enjoy here and there. Maybe it helps that Si is their creative function! ESE possess the ability to create a more friendly and open environment. Even though I condescend their energy by replying to something directly at me in their tone, holding back the urge to flinch when they pat my shoulder, or even hug me, the condescension temporarily copes with my discomfort in that created environment. With an EIE, it's like they try to make me feel the way their face is shown, which, based off my experience, has been negativity. I find that they can generally push that mood on me because they are naturally very skilled with invoking reaction and just emotional reaction in general. They also want to generally give off some kind of presence, but at the same time, glide in the background.
OVERALL: In my eyes, Fe is confusing, unsettling, and unpredictable. Having Fe in your id block bodes over well when interacting with me. On the other hand, quickly depleting my energy with that emotional passion and attempted power play? Not worth my time.
