A full-bodied expression of emotions regarding people and events. Emotional pressure, capturing attention and prompting action, leaving an emotional impression. The ability to stimulate those around by using universally attractive images (associated with basic emotions of fear and love) to engage them in activities that satisfy the interests of the activating individual.
Fe plays a leading role in affective empathy (experiencing emotions together with others, sympathy, emotional contagion — both positive and negative), in fantasy empathy (emotional resonance with characters).
This psychological function is expressed through expressive and demonstrative behavior. Expressive means that a person expresses themselves in all possible ways, and demonstrative means that they attract attention to themselves.
State: Passionate desire, emotional excitement. In this state, a person really wants something intensely.
If this function is pronounced, they can't go unnoticed. They draw attention by not leaving anyone indifferent. Everyone expresses an opinion about them, some want to get closer, others to distance themselves, but no one remains indifferent. If someone is neutral and indifferent nearby, they will do everything to stir them up—either make them laugh or make them very angry.
