Welp, being the social ninja that some istps are at times..I think I've pegged my college adviser as a ISTP...now i just need to think of a way to get her to know there are like minded ppl out there..but she avoids others....as a ISTP myself I'm still a little stumped...hrm...is there anyway for us besides these forums to really "open up"

Time, time, and more time.

I don't know, I feel more immediately open here than I do pretty much anywhere else.

Alcohol, the social lubricant!

A thrustworthy, relaxing, comfortable and friendly environment. It should come naturally, with time indeed..

Manipulation might also do the trick, but even with good intentions, I don't advise it.

Oh, I hate being manipulated.

...thrustworthy...

Sorry Karot, I just had to point out your hilarious typo. I think you've invented a very useful new word.

P.S. what is this thread about?

[Karot]

It's not a word ?

Mainly how an ISTP can "open up" a ISTP ....i know i know it sounds odd...just wondering if its even possible because we are guarded from the get go...2 guarded ppl dont really mix well..

I think my brother might be ISTP as well as myself. The way we 'open up' is by working on stuff together. Like his car or motorbike. But it's more of a grunting affair, as opposed to an opening of the emotional floodgates, if you catch my drift...
