I'm an INTJ and I feel healed and inspired by ENFPs INFPs as well but what do NFPs get out of it?

As if i'm not curious enough, INTJ make me even more curious. The more they talk the more i want to know. I can become really quiet around INTJ, i like to listen rather than speak, especially if they're on a roll on a subject that interest me. When i'm on a talking roll, i love how they look at me with so much wonder, or maybe they could be thinking " holy crap, she's crazy..hah, either way, we both seem to be amused by the other. What i gain, humm. I do feel like i gain intelligence, they have the ability to make things interesting making me what to explore subjects further. I also gain patients, because i know i have to be a better listener, i have to give them time to think about the topic before jumping to something else, if not they lose the moment to express their opinion. I gain space and privacy, they understand when i need to be alone. Most of all i gain loyalty/trust and honesty. No one can keep a secret like an INTJ, no one. If i gain their trust , i have a friend for life, hands down.

Massive intellectual stimulation. Someone who won't talk over us. ;) A sense of joy for opportunity to heal and inspire. Someone to make sure we get there on time. And someone to have a good, get-the-blood-pumping argument with from time to time.

I just like my husband a whole, whole bunch. :)

I like that he is more logical than I am. His calm demeanor doesn't get me all riled up. We have have an intelligent conversation for hours and it never gets old. He is much better with money than I am, thankfully. And a couple of other things on here I can't mention in front of a public audience. haha!

I love how he is so not overly dramatic or overly emotional. I can truly say that I appreciate that about him. There can only be one of who over reacts. :)

I just said this to an INTJ friend:

"You're really the only person I know who will hear me out, understand where I'm coming from, but still be real with me when I'm being an idiot. It's awesome."

So... That, I imagine.

I love being able to be accepted and even appreciated for being myself. I don’t need to tone down or hide my abstract when I’m around an INTJ, in fact they love it and will oftentimes build on it. I love just being able to blurt out my thoughts and not have to worry about stepping on toes because they know that all I’m doing is processing information.
I love love LOVE to pick an INTJ’s mind.
I haven’t been able to talk to an INTJ in person for a while now… I miss it. :/.

It's weird ain't it? It seems like they are two personality types that would never get along, or at least have nothing in common, yet they seem to be compatible.

I love the intelligence factor of the INTJ's. My first boyfriend was one (not formerly typed but now that I think of it, he hit every INTJ point). Anyways he could talk for hours about uber-intelligent things and I would just be transfixed.

I think maybe INTJ's are good at grounding ENFP's, and ENFP's help INTJ's to lighten up a bit. Just a theory on my part though.

Ok...so ENFPs draw out the hidden light in INTJs, the part of you that feels most vulnerable.
INTJs do the same thing to ENFPs, but the ENFP vulnerability is darkness.

Everyone gets metaphorical bumps and bruises along the way through life - people are really good at hurting other people, whether it's intentional or not. A natural defensive strategy is to withdraw emotional investment from any questionable social interaction. What hurts INTJs is giving the gentle, loving parts to an undeserving person. What hurts the ENFP is showing the scars of past hurts and not finding acceptance.

The INTJ I know really cares about people, but I don't think it registers just how much he cares because it's second nature to him. He's just an all around great guy who thinks he isn't worth anything and it's frustrating to see.

This, and it makes both of us uncomfortable. We bring out the sides we hide from the world and neither of us are used to dealing with that. Most people just shrug me off whenever I remove my mask, but he just sits there and accepts that it's a part of me and nothing to be ashamed of, the same way I accept that he's more than he's letting himself be. It's frustrating and beautiful and to be honest, I just really fucking miss him.

I have found this to be very true. I love my INTJ ever so much, I'm very lucky to have him. We just 'get' each other and are completely on the same mental/emotional/spiritual wavelength. My INTJ helps me to strengthen my Te - this has helped my grow and develop as an individual in many ways.

I really feel valued and appreciated for the real me when I am around INTJs. This inspires me.
