Something I said on Twitter a few days ago was this:

INFPs forget that the choice to love someone and the choice to have a relationship with that person are two different choices.

Life gets really hard when those decisions are different from each other. If a significant other doesn’t communicate then the onus of the relationships falls upon you and that’s a very heavy burden to bear and ultimately degrades your quality of life.

i’m currently trying to deal with/possibly get OVER a guy who COMPLETELY withdraws for no apparent reason!

agreed, some issues – no matter HOW safe of an environment you try to create for this person you care deeply about – need to be fixed on their own.

but if that person was actually willing to accept help, it might be different.

I don’t think it’s a matter of being perfect. It’s okay if you’re patched and a little ragged on the edges. That gives you character.

However, some have gotten into relationship fender benders and things don’t work. Some have trust issues and they end up being paranoid by having to know where you are every moment of the relationship. Some withdraw completely when confronted about even minor bumps.

Some issues need to be fixed first.

Unbalanced relationships fail.

Nobody’s perfect, I think that’s why this quote from Sleepless in Seattle is so priceless:
“So what we think of as fate is just two neuroses knowing that they are a perfect match.”

Apparently the neurosis that everyone matches with on Twitter is Ashton Kutcher’s… I’m not quite sure what that says about America and the Twitter-verse at large.
