'I agree. My sister is like that. She once told our mom, If you tell not to do something, I'll do it just to show you that I can. Really weird logic there. On the other hand, my mother has always...|||Sounds like he's on the way to liking you. At the very least, it seems he finds you less annoying than others. For an INTJ, that's a good thing.   As for his sister saying he may not like you,...|||Indeed. You speak the truth. My feelings on it are no different. Whenever someone states it, I usually give them the scant eye and wait to see whether they're right, while doubting they will be. It's...|||Seconded.   I know of one ENTP in person, and if they're all like him (and he fits the description pretty well), I'll pass on getting to know those other ENTPs as well. To be quite frank, I find...|||Asphodelle, technically, work is subjective, right? Therefore, busy is just as subjective?  I mean, laying in bed and thinking about all of the things I'd like to be doing but am choosing not...|||*checks social media and sees message*  *experiences sudden dread at the thought of virtual human contact*  *logs off*  3 HOURS LATER  *checks message* *still there*  ESFJ friend: Misplaced,...|||No two robots are created equal. Some of our programs work better than others. I have the same problem, especially when my parts start to rust.|||I actually don't have anything to vent about, for once in two days. Just posted in the wrong thread.   *sigh*|||I understand that it can be difficult to admit your feelings when you're still trying to figure them out or you've just started to feel them (early stages). I wasn't really thinking about those...|||Oh God. That's hilarious. Was that one of those moments when you just couldn't help it? You had it coming out of your mouth before your brain could push the brakes? I've had too many of those...|||I do wonder sometimes why it's so terrifying for people to just admit to their feelings. Maybe it's because I've grown tired of simmering in fear and have chosen to approach life with the mindset of...|||From the way you've described him, it sounds like he definitely is an ISTJ, especially if he finds you so confounding. It can difficult for anyone to deal with a person who is so stuck in their ways...|||I had to laugh at this part:     I'm going to have to use that in a sentence at some point. As for the question, I don't really know. But when I have met ISTJs in my day-to-day life, our...|||I've had this experience too, except it was (more recently) with the ENFJ, ENTP, and INTP I know. Actually, it seems I experience this with anyone who believes they're an exception to the rules and...|||I'm very comfortable sharing fact-based information and ideas with people, though I always have my reasons. Personal information is not something I share with others very often. And when I'm stressed...|||When it comes to people: pessimistic. When it comes to ideas: optimistic. When it comes to myself: realistic.|||Yeah, I believe that and for a second, I almost thought that was the case. It was the only reason I even bothered with him for as long as I did. I think guys who genuinely want to be friends aren't...|||When guys say they're okay with just being friends after getting rejected, are women actually supposed to believe that nonsense? Is that really a thing that goes through a guy's mind? And am I...|||LadyAeroniel, it seems to be an INFP thing because nearly all of the INFPs I know are the same.|||lilysocks, that's funny. I've been trying to train my cat to no avail. If anything, she's trained me! Cats can be amusing like that, I've come to learn.|||LadyAeroniel, there's no need to apologize. It wasn't directed at anyone in particular, and I was actually just jesting.|||I'm always amused by the Where can I find INTJs? threads. Before I got on this forum, the thought of reducing people to their mere types and attempting to 'find' them for [insert awesome reason...|||I can't help you with finding an INTJ because it's not like there's a place that only INTJs go to--and frankly, whether the INTJ is found is usually their choice. I could say stuff like: libraries,...|||I don't usually talk about sex with anyone really, mainly because (unless it's in a class or at the doctor's, etc.) it's one of those topics where--if you discuss it with someone--it can be taken the...|||This has been me recently. Lately, I'm like, What? I was wrong? Oh no, I was wrong about that too? What's going on? What's happening? You mean I didn't get that right either? It's like I can't...|||That's not nearly as bad as when you're in the dark movie theater and then you feel a sharp piercing to your right and realize...oh, what is that? My friend is texting during the movie with their...|||I did something like this to a very proud and annoying ISTP once. Spent the entire time we were working talking down to me and mentioning in roundabout ways how weak I was (physically, I was...|||Goodness, this is so many months ago. Why am I just seeing this now? I'm extremely flattered lilysocks (I hope it's not too late to say that) since I do really enjoy hearing your opinions on a great...|||Me: *shuffles around house, looking for something but not sure what*  INFP sister: *tries to ignore shuffling but obviously can't*  Me: Oh my God. I'm so frustrated. I can't tell what's bothering...|||Gosh, I haven't been here in so long that I'm now posting in the wrong threads. *sigh* This situation must be remedied immediately.|||Ancu,   First of all, congratulations on becoming healthier.   Moving on. This may sound harsh, but it appears you're making a lot of excuses for him and offering justification for his behavior...|||:perc3:|||It's the same thing on the INTJ forum. It can be quite frustrating at times, and my interest in the forum will ebb and flow because so many of the threads complain about the same thing (Confused...|||I'm fine with the no communication thing since I can go long periods of time without talking to my friends and loved ones and still have things be fine between us--although not always so on their...|||How do I apologize to an ISTP without actually...apologizing? I'm pretty terrible at it, and oftentimes it comes out as if I'm insincere about the apology only because I'm that awkward with it, but...|||Haha, I do the same thing! It's actually very amusing from my end, and I have to say: I've definitely perfected my 'ill' voice. What do you want me to have? The flu? The cold? Something even worse...|||Yes.   Retail jobs are a heaping slice of cow manure. But they also helped me improve my social game, so I got something positive out of it.|||I can't sleep. I can't sleep. I can't sleep. Of course this would happen in the second most important week for me in December, although it's not yet December (talk about future-oriented!). At least I...|||234602|||Hmm...I figured I hadn't completely understood the question. If that's the case, then I'd suggest godisblue have a conversation with the INTJ in question and see if they can offer any explanations....|||I have to explain this to those around me all of the time. It seems the majority of people I deal with, type unrelated, believe consensus equals cooperation, which leads them to believe if I don't...|||Ah, okay. They don't have a Neuroscience program at my university, so I just did Cognitive Psychology, which seems to allow me to focus in on areas I'm really interested in.|||Yes, I think it can lead to hypocrisy but I wouldn't take the sarcastic nature of an INTJ seriously enough to be offended by it. I get this a lot from my family members, and the problem lies in their...|||Meh. Some ups. Some downs.   I don't like how much having a high GPA is stressed when the reality is that the connections you make will outlast what your GPA is/was. That's my biggest gripe about...|||I've been there before, once or twice. Once when my manager decided to add on 8 more hours to my already full-time workload in the semester I decided to add another class onto my already full-time...|||I'm the only NT in my family. Actually, I'm the only Thinker in my family. Sometimes, it's rough.|||I don't hate promises or long-term commitment. Quite the opposite. I just don't go entering into such things carelessly because I know how seriously I take the promises and commitments I make.   As...|||Depends on two things:   1) How important you are to me.       a) If you're not that important to me and the issue happens to be important, I usually cut you off right there.

Otherwise, there's a balance.'
