[Christmas and mbti]

ENTP: Here’s a fun Christmas idea. We’ll hang a mistletoe, but instead of kissing, you have to FIGHT whoever else is under it.

ISTJ: We are not doing that.

INTP: Mistlefoe™

INFP: INTP no.

when ixtjs actually talk #2 - on toxicity

INTJ: What about relationships? Do you find them simple?

ISTJ (immediately): Oh, yeah.

Confused INTJ is confused.

INTJ: Sometimes I wonder if all relationships are to some extent inherently toxic.

ISTJ: Hm, nope. I think I’m happy with all my relationships.

INTJ: Huh. Okay, strike that. You know how all relationships require effort?

ISTJ: What? Not at all. If it feels like a sacrifice I wouldn’t consider that person my friend and wouldn’t even bother.

INTJ: You mean you never have to make an effort?

ISTJ: Exactly.

INTJ: Well I think all my relationships require my effort.

ISTJ: Is our friendship difficult to you? 

INTJ::... actually, no. Not at all.

ISTJ: See? :)

when ixtjs actually talk #5 - the conclusion

INTJ has been thinking about the previous conversation. out of nowhere:

INTJ: You made me consider that all the toxicity that I keep seeing in relationships is in the people but in my mind.

ISTJ bursts into laughter.

INTJ (oblivious, still serious): So yeah, thank you.

ISTJ: Why would you thank me for that?

INTJ: People’s behaviour is beyond my control. but i can change my perception and my own behaviour.

ENFP: What is the word for horny but not in a sexual way? Like iam excited for Halloween but I don't wanna fuck a pumpkin, you feel me?

ISTJ: I think the word you're looking for is "excited".

ixtjs being ixtjs

INTJ and ISTJ are deciding on short-term study plans.

ISTJ: So, I’m going to the gym, I can meet you afterwards to go back to the library? 

INTJ: That would be the reasonable thing to do. I need some workout, too, I might go to a class. How long do you need?

ISTJ: An hour and a half top. 

INTJ: Well I can be back at 8, is that too late?

ISTJ: 8pm is so late I might be dead by then. 

INTJ went back to the library at 8:00 pm and this overachiever idiot was still there. 

INTJ: Should I even be surprised? 

After more studying, they find themselves making plans for the next day (ESTJ’s and ESTP’s absence is quite visible in the lack of social plans and spontaneity, respectively). 

INTJ: See you tomorrow then. 

ISTJ: Yes, I will be here at 9. Actually, it’s my birthday tomorrow so I might arrive at 10. 

INTJ: ...Please tell me that is not your only birthday treat. This is so depressing. 

ISTJ: Why not? It’s a good one. 

INTJ: “It’s my birthday tomorrow, and my celebration consists of one extra hour of sleep?”

ISTJ: Sleeping is awesome. Sleeping makes me happy.

INTJ: You’re so... deeply simple. 

ISTJ (after laughing a lot): Should I take it as a compliment? 

INTJ: I can change it to ‘simple yet accidentally deep’.

ISTJ (ignoring INTJ, with a big smile on his face): I am gonna take it as a compliment. Thank you!

INTJ: Sure, whatever. You’re very welcome.

ISTJ and INTJ are sitting next to one another when ISTJ casually states: 

ISTJ: And someone has burned dinner again.

INTJ (spinning around): How do you know?

ISTJ (pointing at their own face, bluntness level 11/10): Because I have a nose.

when ixtjs actually talk #4 - overanalysis

INTJ is silently amused on their way back to the library.

ISTJ: What?

INTJ: Nothing. I just find our conversations quite amusing.

ISTJ seems glad to have heard that he is good company.

INTJ: Hey you idiot, you find this entertaining as well. Or did you think I’m not very aware of your amusement towards my overanalysis? Especially when I overanalyse you.

ISTJ: It is interesting.
