It might have happened because they took offense before they could see any Te value in me, and then that was that. Alternately, I just might have been being a total asshole; I don't remember all that well what, exactly, I said.
The only thing one can do in these situations is to make an appeal to the Fi-dom. LIE/LSE all too often accept their dual's judgments as final and play off of that even when it is negative and about them, and that is precisely where LIE/LSE fuck up. They decide they must dislike the ESI/EII right back and never challenge that. If you don't try to appeal to them and change their mind, to show that you actually like them and you are worth liking back, then they will have no reason to assume they were wrong about you. That is how it works; demonstrate loyalty, or prove disloyal. Making the appeal even plays into the romance styles victim/aggressor and caring/childlike.

But no, my LIE friend assumed that they just could not like each other and thus never tried to talk to her again. I mean, it's true, Fi-doms can be some real unforgiving bitches who should learn what second chances are; but come on, if you leave things as they are their opinions certainly won't change, so you gotta put that effort in. You may come out feeling dumb and cheated for going back and getting rejected again, but my LIE friend never tries. He lets himself be pushed around by Fi, even his own.

And again, Fi-doms should be more generous with extra chances.

At least that is what I make of my observations. Maybe my views on Fi here are too IEI-esque to be relevant, lol.
