as an intp, my favorite types (2)

(spoiler alert: they're all my favorite types)

infp: the thing i noticed right away about infps is that literally every one i know is so individually different. they are literally the most unique of their type which is honestly just... i don't want to say "refreshing," but they have such a strong sense of self and individual dreams that there is really no archetype, i think, that can best describe an infp when each of them functions like their own archetype, even when they're all infps. they are so passionate about the things they like and believe in, and possess an undeniable amount of creativity. they are usually content and aware of their comfort zones and passions, and usually seek something greater than them, which is passionate and inspiring. and they make excellent friends, because once they value you, you are precious and irreplaceable to them, and they let you know.

isfj: i adore the isfj's willingness and fascination to engage, a strong sense of right and wrong and open to discourse, but at the same time full of their own individual passions and creativity that they are inspiring in their own right. beyond anything else i think the isfj wants to be the best friend/partner/etc. they can be, so they try very hard and are very authentic in their relationships, while at the same time maintaining a clear head and valuing, above all else, intimate honesty with those they care about. they get inspired by so much and are honestly pretty fascinated by my aux Ne, indulging me which i find pretty funny; but they also take a lot of the necessary steps to make me feel less stressed or anxious in our interactions because once they're interested you know, which makes my friendships with them feel very intimate and real. they never front about their own feelings, though sometimes i want to roll them up into a blanket and keep them safe - but also i can bitch to them and we can be judgy assholes against someone/something else together, which is always fun.

esfj: ah, my opposite type. esfjs are ridiculously patient and value harmony, something i admire and could not do for the life of me; at the same time when they get bitchy or want to complain to me about people they hate, it's hilarious (and i mean that in a good way.) they are adventurous and passionate and incredibly likable, which i am in awe (and slightly envious, but only in the good way) of, and at the same time aren't here for your bullshit- which makes it easy to be honest with them, since they can easily draw that out of people like me. all of my relationships with esfjs are immensely comfortable, because they rarely harbor any judgment away from people they really value - we usually get it discussed and sorted well more often than my other relationships with people. also they are so ridiculous and regularly indulge my Ne, and love to discuss my Ti interests with me. and for all their ability to take care of other people they can be kind of shit at taking care of themselves, which is hilarious - in increments, not in the long run of course.

intp: my fellow man! i literally love talking to other intps so much because we are almost always on a constant wavelength; if we ever end up disagreeing with each other on something, we immediately try to curate it so that our discussion takes the other's point of view into account, and sort it out. (a very hard intp friend was not like this before, but i know she's trying now which makes all the difference.) we possess a mutual fascination with each other; at the same time, a lot of our interests line up in terms of subject, but our tastes can be vastly different, which is also amusing. my other favorite thing is that movie talking with an intp is literally one of the most hilarious and most fun things you can do with another intp, because our opinions are all over the place and we love just laughing about things that aren't really funny and pointing out the same shit. most of the time we really value each other's opinions on a myriad of topics because we all view and discuss things critically, but only through our own individual lenses of what we define as "critical," so we place a lot of value into each other's insights. also we are all pretty socially awkward and don't take ourselves that seriously, but honestly that just bonds us even more.
