Blind Fe(7th Position)
Overview
Extraverted Feeling (Fe) as your Blind function (Trickster) operates unconsciously, creating blind spots about maintaining group harmony and considering others' feelings. It manifests as deeply unvaluing social relationships, feeling detached from emotions, and not caring for others' feelings. You may appear selfish or self-absorbed, completely detached from what will help or benefit the group. You dismiss emotional needs as irrelevant, seeing social connection as unnecessary or manipulative. You may distrust expressed emotions, perceiving them as insincere or weak, and actively avoid situations that require emotional awareness or group consideration. This function tests boundaries by introducing contradictory social norms that trap you in paradoxes, making you believe you're independent when you're actually isolated. Integrating it helps you recognize these blind spots and develop genuine care for others' feelings and group welfare.
