Hmm, the only INTP I have had a friendship with was one I knew at college.

If it wasn't for social networking, I don't think that I would have even gotten to know him. I have never known someone, other than myself, who is just as private.

The best thing about our relationship is that we could be nerdy together. Being around ISFJ's and ENFP's a lot stunts my nerdy side.

Had an ISFP friend in my childhood. We were both immature so it didn't go too well. I experienced her as clingy and because we had no common interests that could glue us together I eventually cut our friendship.

My problem with her was that when I interacted with her I felt that I never got anything out of it and I also got the impression that she just hung out with me because she wanted someone to hang out with, rather than appreciating and accepting me for the person I am.

I am acquaintance with an ESFP and I experience the same issue there. That she also seems to be very immature doesn't help, really. I find her shallow and overall boring with her pursuit for a hedonistic lifestyle and she seems to be less aware of social rules and expectations than I am. I guess I wouldn't mind her as much if she would at least attempt to use her inferior Ti but she doesn't. As I said, she just seems to be very immature as an ESFP also.

My best friend is INTP. We are room mates, and shared introversion works out well because we don't fight about having huge parties or anything. We share an interest/major in music, which I usually see aesthetically and she usually sees in an interpretive way. Makes for some fun discussions. We have a blast with nerd culture together. She's not afraid to tell me if something is BS, and always has logical advice about everything. She doesn't stand out in big crowds, but if it's just us having a conversation she's really interesting and funny.

Things that are difficult for me are her tendency to keep everything to herself--she doesn't like to admit she has emotions and will either never tell anyone about them or eventually explode in private. I thought I was the shyest person ever, until I met her. Also, there are some things I fear telling her because I know she will say I'm being "stupid." I already know it's "stupid," usually, but she just isn't the kind of person that pats your back and tells you it will be ok. It's not meant in a mean way; I know she has my best interests in mind when she says I just need to "stop feeling like that."

Overall, positive relationship!
