Is it just me noticing this trend or do we NTJs have more difficulty finding a partner than the other types? We take longer than the others? Do you think it's linked to having Ni or Te since both our types share that? Thanks for your time, Mr. ENTJ.

Related answer:

What piece of advice would you give someone who really wants to be in a longterm relationship with an ENTJ or is already in a longterm relationship with an ENTJ?

Where/how would an entj female meet guys that won’t run for the hills?

Our types are prone to certain behaviors and trends that can make relationships challenging, such as:

1. Low prioritization. I used to refer to this as low EQ (emotional intelligence) but it’s not exactly that. The older I get, the more I realize a lot of us have understood other people’s emotions and perspectives– we just didn’t care or we didn’t care enough to do something about it. There’s a difference between “I don’t know” vs. “I don’t care” and for us it’s mostly “I don’t care.” For example, I completely understand why someone would be upset that I canceled a date to attend a business meeting– I just refused to change my behavior and accommodate them until later in my life when the date became more important than the business meeting.

Similarly, I’d expect an xNTJ trying to be a doctor or lawyer to easily prioritize medical school or law school over personal relationships because we understand that goals have small windows of opportunities while relationships have more time and flexibility to pursue later in life. To quote a dysfunctional (and fictional) ENTJ surgeon: “Anyone can fall in love and be blindly happy, but not everyone can pick up a scalpel and save a life.”

It’s difficult to be in a relationship when relationships aren’t prioritized.

2. Over-extrapolation. We have the tendency to see one type of behavior or trait in someone, fixate on it, and snowball it into something bigger via this mindset: “what if this small thing about this person is indicative of something bigger and more problematic later down the line?” And then eliminating the person from consideration without giving them a second chance. This causes us to be hypercritical, dismiss people too quickly, and quit too early.

3. Comfort being alone. It’s important to distinguish between being alone vs. being lonely; it’s possible to be comfortable being alone without feeling loneliness. There’s no sense of urgency in NTJs (and STJs) to have their space and peace invaded by people they dislike or that bring no value to their lives so it gives us the luxury of being picky because we can afford to be patient. The high Te and low Fi mantra is this: it’s better to be alone than unhappy.

Live

Breathing in and out, heart beating, that’s surviving, but who the fuck would call that living.  Living is tasting the person you love on your tongue, their lips brushing up against your skin, your heartbeats in sync, feeling their breath all over you, hickeys covering your body the next day, that is living.
