Fi - Introverted Feeling
...
It is often hard to assign words to the values used to make introverted Feeling judgments since they are often associated with images, feeling tones, and gut reactions more than words. As a cognitive process, it often serves as a filter for information that matches what is valued, wanted, or worth believing in. There can be a continual weighing of the situational worth or importance of everything and a patient balancing of the core issues of peace and conflict in life’s situations. We engage in the process of introverted Feeling when a value is compromised and we think, “Sometimes, some things just have to be said.” On the other hand, most of the time this process works “in private” and is expressed through actions. It helps us know when people are being fake or insincere or if they are basically good. It is like having an internal sense of the “essence” of a person or a project and reading fine distinctions among feeling tones.
Extraverted Sensing occurs when we become aware of what is in the physical world in rich detail. We may be drawn to act on what we experience to get an immediate result. We notice relevant facts and occurrences in a sea of data and experiences, learning all the facts we can about the immediate context or area of focus and what goes on in that context. An active seeking of more and more input to get the whole picture may occur until all sources of input have been exhausted or something else captures our attention. Extraverted Sensing is operating when we freely follow exciting physical impulses or instincts as they come up and enjoy the thrill of action in the present moment. A oneness with the physical world and a total absorption may exist as we move, touch, and sense what is around us. The process involves instantly reading cues to see how far we can go in a situation and still get the impact we want or respond to the situation with presence.
Emotions on the whole cause me huge amounts of pain, especially trust and closeness related emotions. I am in a way, completely alone, clutching a methaphorical gun shooting into the zombie hordes of ES's. I'm injured and bleeding to death.
You can't teach an old Cat new tricks! In fact you can't teach them (ISFP) anything. They are unruly. Lucky I am not a Teacher (ENFJ)!
Well its not actually true, you cannot order Cats about like Dogs (ISTJ). They are not under your command.

Revised again. Looks like you can show them the way, but whether they will actually follow your directions? 'I do not feel (SF) like it right now,' she said.
'I've got Cat (ISFP) hairs all over me legs. And we all know Cats purr when they want to eat you (after you have been killed). But at least thay are not a Camel (ESFJ variant), spitting and snarling and they have always got the hump. But if you are in the Desert there are only Snakes and Lizards (ENTP), Scorpions (malign ESFP), Jerboas (ISFJ var).
I think you should give cats a second chance. They are nice people! Isn't it a good thing that you can't order them around? It shows that they have a mind of their own.

They got nine chances and they used them all up with me. Now they can bag up and go with the flow.

It's stunning that you have such a hate-on for ISFPs. We have our faults, and please don't depend on us, but we're usually fun and pleasant to hang around with as friends. And ISFP girls are amazingly sweet sexy cute.

I don't hate them. I just don't trust or understand them. It seems to me that are lying all the time.
I've come a bit closer to understanding the gap in understanding between me with an NT mind and the feeling SP.
For me Truth is in the words, the deeds, and the action. Once Truth has been found it is the same. Only if I see something substantial will I look again at Truth and change my mind about it.
For the feeling SPs the truth is in the emotion of the moment. So look at what they want. If they wish to make you happy then the truth of the moment is that they wish to make you happy. And what they are doing is an extension of that desire. Tomorrow they may wish to make someone else happy.... and that too will be true. Just as it was true for you yesterday. Enjoy it while you have it in your hands.
The pivot point is stasis. Sure they like to lay next to a cozy fire, but they get up and move. The kitty likes to prowl around, and will bat at a ball of yarn... but once the yarn stops moving they get bored with it an more on to the next thing in motion. Or object of interest. It is easy to see that all you must do is keep in motion (personal growth). As long as you keep moving they cannot get bored chasing after you and playing with you.... until they are so old the cozy fire is all they need. If you're a static display, they will sniff you and move on to something more lively.
