I've always gotten along with ENTJs. I don't take things personally and I stand my ground when they start treading on things I have strong feelings about. They're always surprised when I stand my ground the first time. My reply is always the same, just because I don't say anything about all the other stuff doesn't mean I agree with you or that I think that you were right. The other stuff wasn't important enough to bother disagreeing with. One of my good friend is an ENTJ. I’ve always gotten along with ENTJs.

I always asked her to take the online test but she never did. Initially, I had typed her as ESTJ. I was one letter off. Then one day BOOM! It hit me... DUH! How did I miss this? How can she NOT be an ENTJ??? She's a big wig... literally and also heads a big company in a big office with a big chair and knows everything. Or at leasted acts like she does. Although I've become a skeptic at times, I'll give it to her for the ability to wing-it in unfamiliar topics. Pretending like she is the expert. I used to always fall for it, being the typical gullible INFP. I see how she can sometimes alienate others who do not understand this type. She often picks on everyone, but she's just being funny. If she's not giving you shit, then she probably doesn't like you. Mark - AZ | GAYS I’m a gay male INFP and have a close transgender (MTF) friend who I just figured out is ENTJ.

I tend to like the bluntness. However, most of my ENTJ friends have great communication skills. It's the occasional ENTJ that hasn't fine-tuned their communications skills that I find off-putting.

I laughed so much when you said "I’ve always believed that if my life was crap, burdening someone else with the responsibility to relieve the crappiness is just a crappy thing to do someone. They have their own crap to deal with." Iv always felt the same way, but my boyfriend on the other hand almost wants me to set the responsibility of making me happy on him. And he wants me to do the same. I feel perfectly able to do that for him, but I dont think he could do that for me (on a regular basis) because ENFPs are like bouncy balls, they never go back to the same place twice! hi, Im a INTJ going out with an ENFP.

I’ve managed to adapt. Read: I wish my "S" didn't freak every time I change MY mind. I've been in a relationship with an ISTJ for 25 years and I still drive him nuts with my ever changing mind.

We consider an affront if someone tries to change us. On the other hand, some INFPs don't ever learn to connect to others so they feel cut off and isolated. And in the back of their minds, they think that if they meet the one special person then they won't feel lonely. That feeling of isolation and loneliness comes from INFP behavior that needs has to change in order to connect to others. I've always found those to wants so diametrically opposed. Do we want retain the individuality and behavior that makes us who we are, but also at times cuts us off? Or do we want to meet someone we can connect with but will have to change us in order for us for that connection to happen? It can't be both ways and I don't think many INFPs understand that.

Basically, that other people are not responsible for your fulfillment. So, expecting someone to "make up for" things you lack or want is unrealistic, and so is expecting them to cater to your happiness. I'm glad you found your INTJ. Maybe as INFPs we have a tendency to idealize people and relationships (actually I know we do!), so this is a well needed message! Nice work. :) Hi Corin – I love what you have to say at the beginning of this post. Basically, that other people are not responsible for your fulfillment.
