This really helped me understand why I as an ENFP am vegan while most of my friends are not. I have fallen out with most of them they laugh and joke about eating meat etc . My ENFP , INFP friends are vegan . But the rest aren't. I can see that some who are surrounded by others in their family who eat meat, though kind hearted(?) have Fe and follow the group morals .While other friends with Fi for example an ENTJ who is a Budhist and surrounded by family, friends and within the Buddhist group, who are vegans refuses to be vegan or vegetarian loves to wind us up about cruelty towards animals and how she cooks meat, she won't adopt the morals of the group . She has her own . And it doesn't matter how much what she does or says upsets us she refuses not to eat meat in front of us . Hence friendship has to be over as I'm an enfp and I've taken a pledge not to eat with anyone who's eating meat and I'm can not budge on that moral either.
Sadly my friends aren't that interested in Myers Briggs so I can't even talk to them about how having Fi or Fe affects things like being a vegan. I have been very understanding of my ISTJ/ISFJ friend with Fe and told her I understand that she is following group morals is a very busy SJ and they struggle with adopting things until mainstream . However she has decided to cut me out of her life over veganism. But being an ENFP I don't care who I lose from my life my Fi means I follow my own moral compass and I have learnt I can live without my friends but I can't live with doing something I think is morally wrong . Love love love Myers Briggs. Spent 39 hours with people in 100 plus days. And have fought depression as I understand it's the Fe and Fi difference and morals and this was the article that made me get that . So many thanks .
