Defender

Sentinels ISFJ

Very dedicated and warm protectors, always ready to defend their loved ones.

'You're welcome. :) I'm direct with my interest, if I like you I'll ask you out. Everyone is different, though, even within personality types. I've loved multiple women throughout my life,...

And what happens when he rattles the saber again? Give him more money? Yes, the world should be North Korea's ATM. Sounds like a great plan. :rolleyes:

Perhaps she didn't, but I took it the same way you did. Which is why I automatically rephrased complained as distaste in my previous post. After thinking about it, A.L.L.Y , you do seem to...

After re-reading the OP, I agree. There was an agreement that their time together was temporary, and when he ended it, she expressed feelings for him through the letter. He was surprised by her...

He added the guy he barely spoke to because he's being polite, but he doesn't really CARE if he sees him in real life again. You're different, you're not some guy, your relationship was deeper and...

I absolutely relate to this.

I don't think he hates you. I think he cares about you, but knows he doesn't want a long distance relationship. Staying in contact with you without being together with you would be painful for him,...

I have to agree with Tripwire_Desire (nice handle, btw). I don't think he's losing interest, he may just be stressed with other things right now The good morning, good night thing is...

Haha, I'm just playing. :) Seriously, what are you looking for from us?

You like to shake up the soda, don't you. ;)

Can you cast your own role and play a part that benefits you? Is the ISFJ your superior?

I see. How are they not letting you be yourself?

Hm, maybe you should stop thinking so much about this person and reflect on how you're coming across. Why are you analyzing her inner thoughts, actions, and facial expressions to the point that you...

It does resonate with me. I'm reserved and goal oriented in my approach to life, and people are usually surprised to find out I'm an F.

Really? Just anecdotally, I've heard women say they liked a man's butt, shoulders, biceps, abs, pecs... but I've never legs. On topic - I'd have to agree with everyone here who says INTX types.

As an ISFJ guy, I beg to differ. If I actually like someone, I'm forthright about it and I'm going to cross hell and high water to be with them. I think the OP should have her guard up, this guy...

In my free me time, I usually read a book, take a walk, or clean and organize my life. All at a nice, leisurely pace.

I have strong beliefs, but I don't go out of my way to be opinionated for the sake of it.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2's version of Mantis seems to be a stereotypical caricature of an ISFJ.

I think you have. Most of us are chill and laid back.

Yes. Commitment is very important to me.

I understand what you're saying, and I thoroughly enjoy going out and hiking/walking in nature, or in quieter neighborhoods. I spend the vast majority of my unwind time after work during the week...

YES! That's exactly how I felt in college. You almost described it to a T. And here's the thing that REALLY blows my mind. Because I never felt like I never belonged there, it's almost like my brain...

Your enthusiasm is admirable, I know the feelings that come with truly liking someone can lead you to some monumental aspirations... but I guarantee she will have a greater appreciate for just a...

No, not at first. However, if I made it clear I no longer want you in my life and you kept persisting, then I would be annoyed and would probably close the door to you for good. Don't try to get...

There's no reason to fear. :) Simply reaching out because you honestly care and were thinking about me would never annoy me. If he's anything like me, he will feel the same. The only people who...

As an ISFJ guy, yes, I'd want to hear from you. That doesn't necessarily mean I'd want a relationship with you again, though. If the reasons the two of you split up are still there, I'd say let...

I don't know if your friendship is over for good, but why do you feel like you need this connection with her? Wouldn't it be better to still be around, but let her work through whatever she's having...

Haha, thank you. Ah. Definitely don't listen to that advice. Letting your feelings run the show like that always leads you to bad place.

Oh. Yeah. Good choice.

Heh, yes. I have a good ENFP friend who's very much like this. Yes, I totally understand what you're saying, I've seen this first hand with the ENTP people in my life. It's VERY obvious when...

Good insight. Attack is a harsh term. You asked for a lot (how to behave around us, how to seduce us...) I just want the time sharing my thoughts to be worth my while, I prefer win-win situations....

olonny Don't come to our turf and demand knowledge without paying some first. I've never dated an ENTP, but it seems... intriguing. Convince me to try it. Sell yourself.

I don't mind if people talk or contact me often... as long as they listen when I have something to say.

I wouldn't say I'm outgoing, but I take a genuine interest in people. There's a difference.

I think that's just a mom thing. ;)

No.

Interesting, so you're saying... rather than using your behavior to identify your personality, your behavior changed (you accomplished more things) as a result of identifying your personality? Can...

Chocolate yes, but stay away from clothes as gifts. Clothing fit, style, and comfort is very specific to a person, and it's hard to buy the right thing (even for a wife/SO you know well) when they're...

I agree with the other ISFs. Definitely include a sensual massage in the mix, they're fun to give. Si is a beautiful thing. I'm a guy, but here's my ISFJ intuition $0.02. 1) Definitely buy...

There's nothing wrong with playful questions like that, but that's not really getting to know her... because she's never been in a zombie apocalypse, so she really doesn't know herself and she likely...

Hard to say... but it seems like she's giving you a chance. I very much dislike people who try to open me up and make me laugh, so don't do that. Opening up happens on its own without effort from...

I like to think of it in terms of cognitive function spectrums rather than the 16 types. See below: Ni <-----> Ne (How do you relate to the theoretical world - internal process vs. external...

Huh. My initial reaction: Open relationship and ISFJ do not go hand in hand. BUT it sounds like he's going to play the game indefinitely if he can. My recommendation - Tell him you've made it...

It's hard to explain... but here: I know what is and is not appealing to the senses, aesthetically, physically, spatially, and visually. I'm naturally good at things like arranging exhibits for...

Both Ni and Si process the past in the present... but I think you're processing Si through an Ni lens, and it's not coming out right. An Si user won't necessarily quit bicycle riding completely or do...

Haha, I only saw two shes. 1) The OP: Rozy96 (who's husband is an INTJ). 2) My INTJ fiancee (who, as far as I know, is not on this forum).

Prying into my thoughts and feelings uninvited.

She's my fiancée. Thank you. :)

INTJs are probably one of the most likely type to post on forums in general, so I think there is an inherent bias with using forums as your measure for the volume of INTJs who are interested in BDSM....'
