I am not one so I can’t be sure, but I feel they don’t have a lot of control over it.

Is there any conscious focus needed to mirror the emotions for LxI, or by sole suggestivity is it achieved ?
I would think it could be possible for LxI to try to mimic consciously the emotions, but most of the time it would look awkward, so trying to voluntarily express emotions would be Fe polr (but in this case they don't want to, it is just to fit in), there would be better awareness of emotional expectations from Fe polr
As @lemontrees said, the mirroring is not conscious.

LXI can do a good job with being consistently polite in various social situations, and a couple of the ones I know who are parents have a kind of parent role they step into and it’s pretty expressive. I think this is about half conscious.

Is that make sense sometimes to think you want to reciprocate emotions but feel inadequate in doing so for LxI, so eventually attenuating the emotional expression ?
Again maybe more a question for LXIs to answer. I think this may be more LII-ish, the Se polr seems to create less certainty in self-assertion and that may be a factor, just guessing here. My husband is LSI and he says he feels uncertain about the people side of things but it’s not so obvious to me from his behavior.

For me, i feel like i want but don't want at the same time, it's maybe linked to the felt incompetence regulating my own emotional expression and so the resulting possibility to feel ashamed for that ?
And some kind of ambivalence about emotions, like sometimes Fe can be really disturbing and annoying, when loud and chaotic it's just makes me run away, though i don't think it's often Fe lead who disturbs me this way, more about other extravert type i would guess.
Are LxI supposed to enjoy this kind of loud and chaotic emotional expression, in group or crowd ?
I don’t enjoy merely loud and chaotic environments, I like emotionally rich and purposefully stimulating ones. I like it to have some organization. I think Fe maybe is not soooo chaotic? It’s still a rational IE.

I used to date an LII; literally, I'd laugh and he'd laugh, I'd cry and he'd cry.

W/ Ti creatives I feel like I can't pull them around as easily, they can sort of...shut themselves off?

Sample size too small?
Ti creative is still receptive to my Fe but they push back with their own extroverted dominant IE.
