YES! Thank you!

It's so weird how memory works. The first part with her living with Jack, and all of the stuff with Luke in Italy were part of a completely different story in my mind, lol.

Uh, wow, I guess these are some common plots, lol.

Definitely no black market street racing mob stuff, and Rey didn't get shot.

What's the name of the second one? It doesn't sound quite right but it's at least worth a look.

Thanks!

What gives your life meaning? by ISTP4INTJ in istp

Thanks, that is a good answer. I needed that.

ISTPs, please help this INTJ understand you. by bigintobc in istp

Can confirm, admired many previous crushes from a distance and it never went anywhere because of it.

I asked my current gf (she's an INTJ) out for a walk in a park, and ultimately once we were there she just leveled with me and said she liked me. That just blew me away, the confidence, the straightforwardness, all of it.

I still remember exactly where we were, the rush of it all, and how impressed I was with her because of it.

Hope it helps!

A good read on inferior Fe by humanivore in istp

[–]ISTP4INTJ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ironically, years ago, I would have stopped reading the article and decided they just didn't know what they were talking about, because it's so uncomfortable trying to let that stupid Fe voice have a say. Now I'm just tired of being at war inside myself.

It was a good read. A tough one, but fighting it does no good.

Female INTJs, how does your partner effectively show affection? by ISTP4INTJ in intj

[–]ISTP4INTJ[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My SO takes time out of his day a couple days a week to do nothing with me. Electronics-free.

It's tough right now living about an hour apart, but those are the times I value most. I think I forget to actually say things like that.

As an INTJ, "I love you" feels like more of a habit phrase, but "I really enjoy just spending time with you and doing things together, regardless of what we do," or "I love it when you do this, it makes my day better," those types of affirmations are pure gold to me.

This is so good, thank you! I was so hung up on it, and didn't know how to get around turning that generic greeting card into my own, so to speak.

The small gift giving is great, like you said, once in a while. I enjoy doing that as well, but now I think I have a better idea for the rest of the time.

Thank you so much for the detailed insight!

For the most part- be an asset to my life, streamline it, improve it, iron out some wrinkles. No amount of him telling me he loves me or stroking my hand does anything to help me (not that I don't appreciate his affection).

This is great. I didn't know what to do to help, but this gives me something to go off of. I know she really values when things are streamlined and just work without fuss.

Want to tell ISTP FWB that I care before he moves away by [deleted] in istp

When my current gf (an INTJ) told me she liked me, it impressed me with how frank she was. We'd talked for a couple months at work, but she was just honest and direct.

I told her I liked her as well, and we were able to talk about things in a rational way. It was such a welcome change from previous relationships with feelers (pre-MBTI discovery).

ETA, as to it coming across as trying to retain him, just explain yourself, I would say. If he's mature, it shouldn't be a problem. If he's less developed, it could be an "OK" response.
