@Puffs, @Hrafn, I think you guys understand emotions quite differently from me. I'd never describe boredom in terms of emotions. It's more of a sensory experience. What Hrafn says about visceral recollections (boy, don't I have them- the worse the experience, the more visceral! Lol) also seems to me like a sensation.
When I think "emotions", I'm…Read more

You do have a point here. It’s just that Fe and Fi people speak so noticeably, obviously differently about themselves. It’s usually pretty clear which side of the spectrum someone falls on based on the way they speak about, and express, emotion.

i mean
1 . it's impossible for two people to have identical environmental experiences (considering the definition for environmental i'm using here) and therefore it'd be ludicrous to assume even siblings will have the same emotional processing.
and
2 . yeah, duh, i'm not saying nature is nonexistent lol but to say that anyone experiences…Read more

i’m afraid (emotion!) of developing new relationships (environmental interaction in question!) because of the toxicity of the most recent intimate relationships i’ve given a go (past environmental interactions influencing the emotion felt!)
The fact that you see a relationship as something you've "given a go" says something about you.
The fac…Read more

Ah, the good old nature/nurture argument
