I have bad news. I got really drunk last week and told my ISTP crush's roommate (who is his best friend) that I liked the ISTP, after his roommate had prodded me about boys several times. His...|||I'm back again. Looks like there aren't many responses on this forum nowadays. :tongue:  So I've begun to take more initiative with the ISTP in question, because he's sort of shy and unreadable. If...|||Hey, I'm back again!  It turns out that the ISTP I like also likes me back. He's asked me to smoke with him more (where he asked me for my number) and taken me on car rides. His best friend also...|||Hi ISTPs!  I wanted to ask a question about an ISTP that I like in my college. He is a type 9w8, very emotionally reserved but very straightforward, honest, and seems to care about the wellbeing of...|||INTP: I typically find them very endearing, awkward in a way that is adorable to me and not frustrating. My deepest crushes have been on INTPs.

I could choose not to engage in it, and I could imagine what such a scenario would look like.

Art, by nature, is a very intuitive process.  I myself am an aspiring neuroscientist, and a lot of what I know about the brain comes from...|||I've been in a relationship with an ENFP and an ENTJ. They were completely different people, and while I truly learned a lot in those relationships, I don't think I'd date anyone like them again....|||I've pretty consistently gotten Ni-Fe as my top two, and then Ne following after. I have very high Ne and it definitely shows, which led me to believe that I was INFP up until a few weeks ago.  My...|||I wouldn't say it is in-born. Perhaps it was picked up on quicker in some folks.  For me, I recognize intentions fairly easily, and sometimes I will subtly exploit other people that I dislike. For...|||So I am an INFJ type 4w5. At my university, I've had two consistent 'crushes'. One is a type 5w4 INTP and the other is a type 1w9 INTJ. They also happen to be the two smartest men I've ever met in my...|||This is most certainly an INFJ thing. I do this all the time.  I'm sure it is a Fe thing, but Ni allows us to be introspective enough to consciously observe ourselves doing it.|||In my life, I've met many people that I've liked, and gone through a multitude of crushes. My ex was an ENTJ, and I pined for him after we broke up. I was convinced that xNTJ types were the type for...|||Hey guys, I wanted to post here regarding a crush I've had for a while. This post is super long so I don't know if people will read it, but in case someone does, I'll post it here. I'm pretty sure my...|||stripedfurball That was so much fun to read. :)|||I'm attracted to INTJs. If I could choose my future spouse, they'd most likely be INTJ.  But they all seem to be snatched up by ESFJ types in real life. It is kind of absurd. My xNTJ ex dated an...|||I'm inclined to agree. I don't really like using words like 'unhealthy' and 'healthy' to describe types of people. I think that typology is used as a form of self-referencing, and it can be...|||My experience having a crush? Or my experience with the types I had crushes on?  Looking back to when I was younger, my crushes were almost exclusively SP types. My first two major crushes were...|||This is more of a character flaw than an INFP trait, though I'm sure that INFPs (and Feeling types in general) have a stronger propensity towards it than other types.  It is interesting that you...|||People see me the same way as they see you. I used to have problems with melancholy, as well, but I've gotten to be in good control of that as I've gotten older. My thoughts are usually a bit more...|||I don't think that there is much use to introspection if it is not eventually applied. Our decisions, actions, beliefs, and interests are all determined via self-referencing. It is difficult to...|||Rydark unapplied introspection is not as useful to someone who values action and observable, external progress. But it can also be applied.

I don't really think type differences manifest online to the extent that they do in real life. For me, when I'm in the real world, it's mostly that I can't really get on the...|||Being Fi-dominant means that you make decisions based off of what is personally relevant to you. In other words, you are less likely to be interested in something due to external factors than...|||I actually feel similarly towards art, and I consider myself to be a 4w5, as well. I don't think that a type 4 has to be religiously devoted to art. I think that that is just a stereotype. The crux...|||What made you rule out INTx? Why did you end up deciding on INFP? Not saying that you can't be an INFP, but I am surprised that you typed yourself as INFP given that a lot of MBTI tests (incorrectly,...|||I am someone who really likes to have a defined identity, and I don't really enjoy spending time with people who don't have identities of their own.

The ESFJs in my life annoy me to no end.|||I know. Believe me, I know that feeling. But interestingly enough, I didn't really crave that before I had met my ENTJ ex. For me, I had always been interested in guys for their strengths, and...|||Threads like these are interesting. I don't think you can find specific types of people in a specific type of place.

He is an ENTJ, and I am an INFP, yet the dynamics were extremely similar to your own relationship.  I think that there is...|||I'm 20. My life is awesome. I love myself. People sense that, and they want to be near me. I inspire people because I'm so happy and put together. I wouldn't say that my Te is well-developed, though...|||Agreed with Wulfex. I also like the 'dynamic programming' analogy.  To be honest, I don't see Ti anywhere in your first post. Ti is to-the-point and weeds things out. You listed a bunch of bullet...|||Hard to say without context. The best scenario is one in which the intensity is maintained, yet without the polar extremes (i.e. no depressive sadness).  INFPs make decisions based on how a topic,...|||I've dated ENFPs, ISFPs, and ENTJs. In order of how excited I was about each relationship, my ordering would be (from least to most) ISFP, then ENFP, then ENTJ. My crushes tend to be INTJ.
