The base function is the most comfortable to use, that's true. But when the person seems to identify with the base function to the point that the real personality disappears, that's neurotic. When I say "identify" I mean it literally, in the case of Fe the person becomes nothing more than a constant flow of opinions or manipulations that come and go. There is "nobody home". That's very different from healthy Fe use that is warm and social.
