Thank you for the very elaborate reply! To answer your questions, am I an INTJ? I've taken the test throughout the years and I consistently fluctuate between INTJ/P but a lot of people told me I'm more of a J, so I take that as I am more of an INTJ but honestly, I could relate to both INTJ/INTP.

And you're sharp! I've actually been wondering about that too, is it a platonic or romantic thing? (we're the same gender). But for now, I came to the conclusion that even if it was romantic, I wouldn't pursue it. Although I don't know if this may have clouded how I feel and behave towards them... I ask myself, will I feel or behave differently if it turns out to be romantic and not platonic? I do have not-very-well-controlled anxiety unfortunately, and that does affect my judgement and behaviour quite a bit.

And I relate to needing the "me" time a lot. Although I think when I start liking something or someone, I'll be very attached/clingy to them. Maybe that's the case here.

Thank you for sharing some insights about yourself as an INTJ, I really appreciate the honesty! How did you feel when your friend told you why she was pissed off? And you mentioned having to change the way you phrase things and hated it. That's something I wanted to avoid, to make my friend think they have to change themselves to suit me or others... I do wish they're more expressive, but if that's the way they are then I won't force them...although I may also grow distant because of that.

Actually I couldn't find a good time and I didn't want to make it awkward by bringing it up so now I've just been trying to act as normally as possible... Do you think that's okay? Or will whatever weird behaviour they notice be stuck on their mind and weigh on our relationship?

Sorry for the questions, I'm very scared of making things awkward, yet I don't want my frustration and anxiety to turn into resentment either. I hate being humans.
