Hey all 
People with Fi are normally stereotyped as being very emotionally closed... but something @Bago said made me think about how in the last year I'm very open with my affections towards certain people in my life. Is it that I dont have Fi, or is it that Fi is misunderstood?
Fi is a system of experiencing emotions, not relating them. But that doesn't mean we can't be open about those emotions
Being more open about how I feel towards people has been a bit of problem, I've had two messes with friends who fell in love with me when I didn't reciprocate... but I also have the most incredible, deepest friends I've had at any point in my life.
I think then, the difference between expressing emotions for me and for people without Fi... is that I simply won't until I trust you. But once that gate is lifted... my soul pours out sometimes.
If you feel like someone is worth trusting... try it. You won't often be wrong.
And soon, without realising it, you're so used to showing the way you care for people you do it without realising it, and people finally understand and respect that part of you
Just try being more open with a few people you can trust, who would understand and accept how you feel, and see what happens
