#intp fe

[the-anomalous-infj]

I'm a young INTP and I have this weird need to take care of my friends. I'm really awkward about it but the way I show that I care is by acting a bit motherly. I'm not really good at words and feelings are complicated (expressing them is even worse), so I just show my affection by taking care of them, or giving advice. There have been times where I take control to make sure they are safe and well. I don't know if this is common and it's too weird for me to understand why I act this way.

That’s your inferior Fe working :) Ti-Ne-Si-Fe

It is your weakest function so that’s probably why you feel awkward about showing affection–even if you have such a strong urge to want to help and care for others; even if you aren’t sure how to do it. 

As time passes by, you will develop it more :) It will just take time. Just use your other functions to help it grow :)

Hi there! Quick question.. I'm almost 100% positive that I'm an INTP but I feel like I more strongly relate to the definition of Fi rather than Fe.. I'm kind of new to this whole thing so I don't really understand if that's possible/what it means?

Hmmm this is probably because Fe is your weakest function (Ti-Ne-Si-Fe) and you haven’t quite developed it :) And that’s totally normal! If you have Fe as your weakest function, you will find yourself drawn to wanting to help others–like you have this urge to be caring and helpful… But you just aren’t exactly sure how to express your “motherly side.”

Is that how you feel? :)

Well, answer one was definitely considerably more concise than the modified answer two.
