    Default I am affectionate

    Since having been married and having a baby I’ve discovered that I’m super affectionate. I kiss them all the time. Someone remove my lips lol. This must be a motherly thing???

    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

    Dunno. I kiss my toddler's head a lot, so maybe also a dadderly thing. It's just.... there's nothing like ... your own child. Words fail.

    I have a toddler who is tantrum prone and really strong and have it her way has very much put my Se polr on the spot for me. Not only am I NOT into punishment and discipline but I am also so exhausted at the amount of energy I have to outpour at explaining things in a rational way to someone who I really want to understand what I’m saying to her.

    You are "into", based on your significant dominating attitude, you like to give strict and harsh commands to other people.
    This is natural for your Se and Fe values, besides extravertion and possible E8.

    Also to be "super affectionate" - to express extensive emotions is common for Fe - EIE, but not EII. Base Fi are lesser emotionally intrusive and demonstrative.

    I have had relationships with more than a few Fi-types and none were truly affectionate in a spontaneous sense. Most were understanding, had good intentions and were very loyal in an obligation sense but if I were to put my arms around them when they weren't prepared, I could often feel recoil; note that they certainly can display great affection when on their own schedule. None seemed to have had unconditional feelings at a cognitive level even toward their own children although I'm sure there's an animalistic component present (that motherly thing?). Me saying this is like the kettle calling the pot black but I doubt that many Eps or Ijs are aware that the subtleties of their innate detached-nature can be detected by others - especially by other Eps and Ijs who recognize it in themselves.
