ENFJ and ESFJ: Fe Hero (Extroverted Feeling)

In this episode, we talk about how Extroverted Feeling (Fe) presents in the hero position (For the ENFJ and the ESFJ). We also cover topics like Heroic Inflation, projection, and complexes. These patterns of mental processes can manifest in a variety of ways that can hinder our ability to be our best selves and impact our relationships.

Thank you for doing this. As an ESFJ this was quite an unbiased and helpful guide to dom Fe. I always hated the trope of Fe users being inflexible and traditional (see: Evangelical Christian) when a lot of us are quite progressive in our desire for fairness and justice. I was raised with an ENFJ dad and ESFJ mom (ESFJ sister too, lots of Fe flying everywhere lol) and my dad has always been a proponent for social justice and reform. He believes in equal opportunity for everyone and social change, and I've very much followed him as I've gotten older. In my mind we can only have a semblance of peace when everyone has the same opportunity no matter sex, race, religion, etc. Personally even though I'm aux Si I think doing things because of tradition can be a very dangerous pit to fall into. It's good to question the status quo, but in so much to make sure whatever you're doing is done to the best of your ability and the best of everyone around you.

Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.

Excellent video... The pause after the last comment before the end... No. hhaahahahaha Thank you for the explanation... It's very relatable to the Fe parent but in the case of heroes yeah... It's more prominent and present. it's an excellent explanation! Thank you girls.

We need this for my work area. Because I'm INTP and my Department head is an ENTJ but that is my shadow. It seems like everything I say trying to explain things always turns up negative to him and my attempt is completely useless. No worries though, I'm talking to many others for advice on this situation. My new supervisor I think may be ISFJ even though he says he's ENTP but his Si seems larger than his Ne.

The only question I have about Fe is, can you be a Fe hero and not actually, physically help people? Can you be lead Fe if your thoughts are always about the tribe and not so much "doing" things for people? I care about what other people are feeling, saying and doing but I won't just drop what I'm focused on to make people feel better or keep the harmony. My whole focus for why I got into MBTI was because I wanted to understand peoples motivations and forecast what they might be thinking or feeling. Great video but I still have a lot of questions when it comes to understanding just what Fe is and is not.
