I've had a lot of trouble differentiating between the two, probably because I'm a strong T.
The way I see it, an Fi user can often be perceived as an Fe user and vice-versa.
For example, an Fi user who, in a particular situation in life, realizes they must adhere to social customs or seem more caring towards community than they really are in order to satisfy or fulfill certain personal feelings they have would come off as an Fe user.
Similarly, an Fe user who has a strong sense of connection with others, community, and a general tendency to branch out to others and assimilate may find themselves in a situation where being unique, going against the grain, and disliking "the overrated trends" is actually very much so going along with the grain.
Also, please don't hold my specific examples as absolutes -- these are just examples to illustrate a couple possible scenarios where this might occur. Are there any ways to particularly differentiate between the two when faced with such situations?
