>>9954I can't believe that people on crystal dot cafe are trying to convince me that Fe does not belong in the ICD.
>Awareness of community values and atunement towards the feelings of others can very much be a gift and is an important part of humanity. It's indeed a good thing in certain situations, but know where heightened levels of empathy come from. It's always in an organism's best interest to care for itself first and foremost.

To bring this back to my original post, I'm convinced INFJ and INTJ are the same type as INTJs are highly empathetic, too, but it's more situational for them, which is healthier. Have you seen how common it is to describe INTJs as "the most feeling thinkers" and INFJs as "the most thinking feelers"? Yes, INTJs are healthier INFJs. If they struggle to gauge other people's emotional state, it means that they haven't ever come into contact with neurotics where they needed to learn how to navigate their internal turmoil before, which Ni would happily help them do anyway. INFJs got gifted that shit when they (very likely) needed to accommodate f
