We would often miss whole nights of sleep because we'd talked till stupid o'clock in the morning and it was pointless going to bed.
The most important thing for me was that I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that I could trust her completely. There were no emotional head games. We could talk freely with each other, knowing that we would be understood, and would not be judged for anything we said.
If you know another INFJ I would strongly recommend giving it a try
Damn, I'm getting all nostalgic now. hold me
That sounds so nice. *happy sigh*.
While it's really impossible to say whether a relationship would work just based on types, I think an INFJ/INFJ relationship could work well, especially because we're so difficult for others to fully understand. The main reason here is that I think having a similar outlook on life is important in a relationship. I also think it's important to be understood by and to understand your partner. When two people are too different, this becomes difficult.
Just because two people are both INFJs, doesn't mean that they will be exactly the same at all - your MBTI type does not define who you are - It defines how you generally tick...What having the same type does mean though is that you're likely to have similar aspirations, goals, and ways of life - something that is vital if you're going to share your life with somebody else.
Also, I don't think it's that healthy to rely on your partner to make up for what you lack. This leads you both to become more unbalanced ... For example, as in introvert, I usually become more extroverted around other introverts and more introverted around other extroverts. When I dated an extrovert, it was easy for me to depend on him to speak for 'us' in social settings. Not good. I found our lifestyles wouldn't have matched in the long run either - Him needing a lot more social activity than I.
There's a lot of talk here about close friendships being possible - relationships in my opinion should be based on a close friendship... knowing somebody and connecting intimately can be very sexy.
Don't they say "Love is friendship set on fire"
