ENTP and INTP in relationship.

ENTP: We have to say something cute to each other.

INTP: *no idea what to say*

ENTP: and we have to do something cute,like normal couples in a relationship.

INTP: Why we have to say something,if we know it.

ENTP: You are right,but what we have to say,what do we know?

INTP: *still no idea* Maybe how to avoid the WW3 sitting on twitter.

ENTP: Maybe..

A normal side to being an INTP

I will use the word “normal” cuz I think that what I do is the normal thing to do, psychologically

As an INTP, it’s very common for me to get curious and to be keen on many stuff. This interests are usually concepts they may be up to debate, have classifications and patterns of reasoning etc

The thing is that I can base my whole day living according to it. Thinking about it, talking about it and doing research about it. This leads to me planning the future according to this thoughts as if it was a religion

Maybe that is what an intellectual does, as well as continuing getting information, but to me that’s when I realize that I need to chill and move on.

I say normal because when I get to that state of mind where what I think is affecting my distant future way of living I panic. And consequently, I start doing normal stuff again. Partying, getting drunk, hang out with friends a lot etc

My life is like this. A constant vicious circle. Luckily, I learn a lot in this processes and it’s then when I come back to them that I realize how much I learned. Thinking not always makes you happy. We, INTPs, need to find balance to this. We inevitably think and not about pretty stuff. It’s paramount to find a way back to Earth, to people, to daily life. It’s not easy and we will have to deal with this until the end

I keep hearing INTP and ENTP would be a disaster and I feel bad because I dont think my relationships (I am the ENTP) is such a disaster.

Well what I mean with a disaster is not the relationship itself but the people in it. xNTPs are very similar and both share the same laziness and inconsistency, they have great ideas but often get bored halfway. Two of them dating would be a disaster in that there’s nothing to balance that mess. None of them encourages the other to be better, since they both share the same problem. Also, another problem that I see is that they have tertiary (ENTP) and inferior (INTP) Fe, so sometimes feelings would not be expressed appropriately and they could have a tendency to be selfish. 

But this doesn’t mean a relationship wouldn’t work. I personally think that you can tolerate the bad aspects of a relationship (if they’re considerably tolerable) as long as the good things make up for them. And this is a couple that in my opinion has so many good things. Besides, it also depends on the degree of development of their cognitive functions, the effort they want to put in the relationship and a lot of other factors.

INTP has to going out with a boy

Has to go to a classy place, yet asked her friends if she can take a beer.

intp INTPs definitely experience feelings of anger, but this isn't always something they express outwardly. They can be somewhat reserved about expressing emotions, and find it more natural to keep these things to themselves. INTPs personality type prefer to focus on rational thought, and can have a tendency to avoid their own emotions in favor of this

[psychologynerdplus]

INTPs have a tendency to repress their emotions and negative feelings, and so this can cause those things to fester and build up over time. Sometimes burying their feelings can certainly cause anxiety, and the trouble is the INTP personality type doesn’t usually know where this is coming from. They are also chronic overthinkers, and while this can be a good thing it can also cause them to get stuck in analyzing information There are many reasons why the INTP might experience times of feeling highly anxious, but when it is situational they can often find tools to help them deal with this anxiety and cope with it in much healthier ways.

How to make an INTP cry

[16personalities-and-a-cat]

How to know if an INTP likes you? (romantically or just generally)

Two of my closest friends are INTP, and what I’ve observedis that:

When they like you in general:

Touch. They touch you. Physical contact is something theyonly display to those they trust. So, if an INTP gets closer to you, startstouching your arm at random moments or pokes you out the blue-they must likeyou. One of my INTP friends will start a tickle fight in a matter of seconds,and the other will take a hold of your hand or arm while speaking to you, sodon’t let stereotypes confuse you. They are very cuddly at heart.

Start conversations. They start conversations with you onlyfor the sake of speaking with you. And they sure enjoy them. For example, INTPfriend will come to me and say something that’s been on their mind for a while,or ask about my day, just to start talking.

Share ideas. I think INTPs are perfectly fine withoutanybody giving feedback to their thoughts, so if they choose to share what theyare thinking and listen to your opinion, they care.

They try to introduce you to things they like. Always. Oneof my INTP friends once said she wouldn’t even know what to talk about with theother person if they didn’t have common interests, so if they show you a seriesthey are obssesed with, a field of science they are interested in, or even asong they can’t stop listening, they are probably trying to have even moreconnections with you, and that’s a good sign.

They share how they feel. Very important. It’s no secret howprivate INTPs are, and how poorly aware of their emotions they can be. So ifthey choose to let you know when they are feeling down, angry or happy, you cansay they trust you a lot. Sometimes they will need help sorting out how theyactually feel, and if they ask you for advice you must mean at least “friend”to them.

Future plans. It can be both sharing their plans orincluding you in them. INTPs welcome only certain people into their plans, freetime and future projections. Simple things like walking home from school everyday at the same time or suggesting to hang out can mean a lot.

When they like you romantically:

Touch. Theycrave it. However, they are shy and don’t initiate contact as often as theywould with a person they consider a friend. 

They createa circle around them and the person they like. It’s like a private club only them are part of. For example, they would talk about things “they” did together, or bring up conversations they had so that other people start seeing them as a pack. 

Laugh. They smile and laugh when you speak, because they listen. Attentively. Both my friends have said they are really happy just listening to the person they like talk, and they always tried to make the person they liked part of the conversation, asking for their opinion or saying their name or something like that.

OVERANALYZE. Their Fe is horrible when it comes to noticing clues and signs the person they like likes them back, so they are always analyzing gestures, smiles and even glances and trying to find a meaning because they feel so lost. In this case they might even ask their friends to interpret the signs for them.

Joking. Perhaps not the kind of humor you are used to, but they sure do try to come off as funny and witty, and will blurt random puns that might even be slightly offensive (Not that they mean to be rude).

Try to talk to you constantly. Similar to what I said before about listening, they also crave conversations in which they can show off their intelligence, wit or randomness. If they find almost any excuse to talk to you, make time to text you, or carve time in their schedule for you, that’s definetely a hint.

Hope these are useful. Thanks for asking :)
