do i use both ti and fi?

CAN’T DECIDE

i am pretty certain that i am between infp and intp. when i got to know about cognitive functions, i knew i use fi the most. but then i realized i have developed ti? i pretty much know the difference between ti and te but i think i use ti more, or maybe it's my misunderstanding. so i really have to know if ti is possible to be paired with fi.

here's what i think my fi is: - (new edit) i am sensitive asf i literally overthink anythinggg. i’d be overthinking about “ok lol” or when i am left on seen. thats what i think ti dont do - i feel really deep feelings and i prioritize my own needs over others (i dont gaf about them sometimes which i know is selfish asf) - i sympathise with people i relate to and have experienced the same things, so i know how it feels - i judge so fast people when their preference and opinions are against me (idk if this is fi tho)

ti: - i like finding the reason behind every fact and knowledge. when i see that it makes no sense, i will keep asking 'why' 'how' 'but it... until the person gets mad lol - i try to analyze everything like why do my friends act like that and speak like that blah blah blah. - and i can observe it when people is awkward, how they are actually feeling, or try to pretend sth, i instantly know when a person is acting weird or pick me or not in a genuine way, while when i ask my friends about it they dont seem to notice it. but i guess this may not be associated with ti fi? - i LOVE paradoxes it’s so interesting but also make my brain explode

i feel like i sometimes use te too: - i cant argue with a person that provides no evidence. they need to convince me by giving me a source or else i won’t give up my point. if they keep explaining something that i think is wrong and without proof, i will never believe it unless i try it.

can yall are ask me questions in the comments to determine my dom function too?

i dont think i have higher fe than fi because i tend to reflect on myself and self absorbed. can u provide any clear differences between fe fi so i can distinguish them

Fi refers to personal values and belief systems. Fe generally wants to consider the feelings of others and objective beliefs or universally accepted values, but generally weaker in INTPs. Fi ignores universal acceptance and considers what is important to self and tries to measure everything against how they would feel about it personally.

im a people pleaser sometimes. when i offer help, it’s not that i genuinely wanna help but it’s that im afraid they will hate me. ofc other times i do feel genuine. i dont think this is Fe since i am considering my feelings (that i may get hurt) over others (genuinely wanting to help them). or maybe this is fe im dumb

i also don’t like when my offers go unappreciated. when i help, i expect them to thank me or i’d be annoyed but i won’t tell them about it.

What you described is literally the feelings of others, in relation to you. That's Fe. Fe users aren't altruistic, they understand others emotions to create harmony in their own spaces.

but will a ti dom do that tho? my description sounds nothing like a intp. i’ve never seen a ti dom being a people pleaser. i relate to some infp intp but never fe users.

wait this is fi: when i sympathise with people, i put myself into their shoes. i go like “damn if i were her i’d be so embarrassed” “oh no that look so painful i cant imagine myself going through that”

another thing: i like to take short cuts. like math and cooking for example, i skip many steps cuz im lazy and i want the easiest (and fastest maybe) way to deal with things. is that the “productivity” of te? anyways im sure that i have ti tho, i want to know more and more like i could wake up at mid night to search for random stuff that popped up in my head. i love paradoxes and theoretic thoughts

here’s my test result i did yesterday. not sure why my ne is the highest but it’s obvious that ne is my second function. and again i have both high ti and fi

Maybe you're entp. What you described is actually Fe in action. Your general annoyingness makes me think Ne dom however
