For me Fi is an enormous burden that I cannot control and causes all kinds of problems. It gets in the way of my interests as nothing can get done until Fi is tamed. Some days it’s on the back burner and being a good little kitty and other days it’s tearing my head off. For this reason I always thought it must be part of my shadow or possibly inferior. Se is the same way.

Ni is the function that feels natural, boring, and always quietly running in the background. It causes me no trouble whatsoever, though I know it can annoy others. Ni is the one I wouldn’t notice much until people pointed it out to me. In fact I was in denial of this part of myself for a long time and even devalued it in others.
