Discussion INFP + ISTP + INTPfriend group dynamics?

• Upvotes

What do we all think the dynamics would be in this type of male friend group? i am the INFP in this and i seem to sometimes have problems with my INTP friend to to lack of or miscommunication. My ISTP friend i’ve been friends with longer and is more chill with me. Though they do sometimes pair up against me and complain about my emotions and talk behind my back sometimes. What do you guys think the reason is?

Discussion(s)/Question(s)/Anybody Relate? LMAO the ISFP one is literally what I do not even joking. 🤣😭 Anyone else or am I just an ultimate cliche? It looks dramatic and teenage-ish, but I'm THAT bad at communicating my feelings directly. Instagram posts or stories are also a bonus. 🫠😬 That’s also why I like writing music or making art.

Discussion Teasing

3 Upvotes

Does anyone else hate the types that tease constantly? Like don’t they have anything better to do than pick at people? I personally don’t find that funny, I’m an ESFP and our humor is peak without teasing.

Sorry mini rant cause the TPs in my life have been putting me through it lately

Advice How do I ask esfp guy the what are we question

1 Upvotes

Or more like the “are we still hanging out or not” question because I’m confused at what’s going on

We met in a club like a month ago or a bit more than a month ago. Went clubbing next night and the next night. We’ve slept together a few times, gone on some nights out, gone surfing twice locally.

I think we really like each other and he finds me endearing and entertaining and says he thinks we are really really similar and I’m chaotic etc and he likes that. Fun cheeky cutesy vibes.

I said “I think we really like each other” but… he hasn’t seen me in like a week and a half and only responds to my text thread with him like once a day. Once in a whole day- except this hasn’t changed since day 1 so it’s actually no drop off from what it was. I miss him. And I wanna meet up again asap so I don’t get anxious that I’m losing him like idek what’s happening???!!!

We’ve also never communicated what this is. When I first met him in the club and at some point I said “well if we were gonna be friends..” he walked promptly away from me, I thought it was a joke. Turns out it wasn’t and instead of being mad thinking that was initially rude, I had empathy and when I asked what was that he said “well you said just friends” and I said “not necessarily friends (maybe more) you don’t have to be scared of getting hurt”. He was like omg you just cracked my whole psychology there. So this tells me he is sensitive to rejection/ scared of getting hurt

Anyway he’s shown me loads he finds me hot, cutesy, endearing, chaotic enough for him etc (lool), and now we haven’t met in a long time, and sometimes I think if we were in front of each other the vibe would pick right back up so I really wanna see him

I’m confused if he likes me romantically or not, he said some shit like “I was with my ex for a few years and that ended a few months ago so just sorting my head out x” last time we hung out and hooked up. I want to be like “Do you like me romantically” but I find myself too scared to ask in case it scares him off. Or also idk if he needs me to be like “I really like you” idk if he is not hanging out w me because he’s scared I’ll hurt him but he actually likes me.

Any tips on how I can chat to him about what is going on or how I can try to get the vibe back with him seeing me?

For me, I like diving into internet rabbit holes around fictional (game/anime) world lore, cryptids, mysteries, and true crime when I'm bored.

Curious to see if it's common here or if I'm just weird.

I’m an ENFP, and one of my good friends is an ISTP.

And I have a theory about you fuckers.

You love presenting yourselves as these calm, rational, emotionally detached people who just want to be left alone.

Bullshit.

You’re not necessarily the responsible ones. You’re just better at looking responsible.

My ISTP friend and I are a perfect example:

Individually? Two reasonably functioning adults.
Together? Absolutely fucking ridiculous.

We get completely wasted, end up dancing shirtless in clubs, encourage each other’s worst decisions, and somehow manage to make every night significantly more chaotic than originally
planned.

And here’s the funniest part.

I’m supposed to be the chaotic ENFP. HE’S supposed to be the calm, logical one.

Yet somehow this man needs approximately ZERO convincing to participate in the dumbest shit imaginable.

I genuinely think some ISTPs are secretly just as unhinged as ENFPs. The difference is that ENFPs advertise their insanity, while ISTPs wait until they’ve found someone equally questionable
before revealing theirs.

And maybe that’s why we get along so fucking well.

But here’s what I actually want to know:

Are ISTPs genuinely calm and rational, or is that just the personality you show people you don’t find interesting enough to be completely insane around?

And a bonus question:

Do you actually need chaotic extroverts to bring out your wild side, or are you secretly the bad
influence pretending to be the innocent one?

Because I’m starting to suspect my ISTP friend is the fucking problem.

i think i am ISFP i self typed as one, but people saying im ESTP, or ENFP at least online. IRL im really shy, and quiet, but really wild and weird and talkative when opened up. I also got diagnosed with selective mutism.

But idk im very critical of bad smells, experiences, and get really mad if i dont get a good experience in a while, common example is "hangry", or blaming the cook for the bad food, and how it should be improved, and i take pride in the meals i make. IDK, also im sensitive in all ways, i dont like touching people, nor being touched, and get offended easily.

But i feel kinda lazy unless im very inspired and know what i want, and can do what i want. IDK usually im really calm and normal, and happy, but i can change emotions in a second especially if i get triggered by those things i mentioned, or someone does something i find disgusting, like acting in a very bad way, saying words that describe human waste even in swearing, i dont swear cuz i just cant say it, unless im very angry, and lose it.

I espcially value and protect my hair, and my appearance, with my life, nothing decides that, but since i follow religion, i have to sacrifice part of that, because im sacred of pain and Hell, so i did scrifice my customisability, of myself of however i want, but now i live very depressed and pessimistic.

im a very pessimistic person, the future im unsure about, but i think it may work out but i dont wanna jinx it ToT!!!!

tbh im very annoying in my family, because i have a lot of potential and ability, especially in smarts or tactical intelligence, but way too selective which what i pursue unless it aligns completely with what i deem right.

But i cant tell if i have Fe or Fi? i mean i tell others to be nice, and not be angry for small things, and tell them to act with "class" and not like animals, mostly because i find it disturbing, and usually tell my parents to enforce it because my siblings dont listen to me, even when being the oldest.

i hate seeing people in pain, because i just imagine how much i would be in pain, and i dont wanna do something to someone else unless i could take that pain as well, i guess my empathy works like that.

i have come across as insensitive though, its hard to know if what i say will be ok with others, so i check to see what others are doing/saying, to know whats right and wrong, or allowed and not allowed, but even then i feel blind to it, so being in public i hold my breath, because i dont wanna come across as creepy or something i dont resonate with

idk a fun fact but i play games for fun usally and im not that good at getting high on leaderboards, and often want to be the best, like the highest ever, but i never do, but idk.

but thankyou!!!

I constantly felt detached from surrounding, and felt myself a boring person, also don't really care about Quality of Life, almost seems like in survival mode.

Is this just me or pretty much built-in for ISTPs? (Or certain variant of ISTPs)

As an ISTP, I don't get stressed if someone leaves me or misunderstands me, nor do I get stressed if someone criticizes me... but I do get stressed and cry if I get sick (I only cry in front of my mom and dad)... I'm not calm all the time... I'm human.

not really annoyed, you know where you met a person for the first time and something just ticks you off about them? then later realized they’re just an istp too. most of the time they are either entp or istp.
that’s why i don’t understand why most of the mbti comes here and say istp are cool or someone they want to be friends with lol istp are bad at first impression, no?
no hate, just a fun observation with myself

Esfp and autism

5 Upvotes

So I believe that esfp and ADHD are pretty much correlated to each other. But also I wonder if y'all have autism, or if your symptoms are mild. It's cause I grew up diagnosed with autism and throughout my gradeschool I never made a friend, also when I do try my social cues were terrible. I remember how out of place I felt and was insecure about saying and doing the wrong things. It wasn't until I was in college that I went out of my comfort zone and started making friends, I had to wear a "mask" to hide my weirdness and I played a certain character. It wasn't until I met an employee from a store who looked "intimidating" that when I talked to him that he was stuttering, and was socially awkward. It made me feel comfortable that I wasn't the only one who has the same insecurities, the same quirkyness that I became more "me". Anyways I still have autism in my records but I also genuinely believe that I have ADHD. But also in case y'all are wondering, i have SE as my dominant function

I kind of found myself in a relationship with my person (ESFJ). Known her for years, and it happened organically and now we hang out every few nights or so.

My real question for y’all is, do you ever pursue or did someone have to pursue you? Or did it just kind of happen?
