Step 1: Know the person’s personality type

[ap]

As an INFP, there’s nothing more I value in a friendship than genuine listening. If a person does that to me…he or she is the best and I’ll cherish this person forever.

[sw]

As an INFJ, having a friend acknowledge I’m burnt out during a party and then say it’s okay I should leave or it’s okay to take a breather is especially validating. I do feel I owe my social energy to people so it’s nice when someone sees me really trying but I’m actually spent.

Important tip to befriend an INTJ:
Don't try to hangout simultaneously.
Invite them way ahead of time so they can have enough time to rehearse and plan.

[Spladoinkal]

I think the problem with the INFJ thing is that we're so good at reading others emotions, we can sometimes forget that others don't have the same ability and we can expect more that we should.

[novavimj]

As an introvert, I find it very difficult to make extrovert friends because they're very loud and I end up being ignored.

[stefane]

As an INTJ, that's so true. Don't pressure us, don't try to push us and don't waste our times too. If we think you're cool enough, we're gonna come out of our shells even trying to"bypass" a little social kinda of person. Intj's time are valuable, and friendships are things we take very seriously.

(Disclaimer: this is just my personal opinion, hope someone gets that)

I struggled a lot with social situations before. People misunderstand me all the time - even now. But after learning from Frank and taking many tests, I've found myself to be an INTJ. Now I understand myself and others better. I find peace in knowing that it is okay to be misunderstood and that people are just different. Frank, thank you, man.

[petezahut]

as an infp I can deeply relate to this. I am really sensitive and i only get close to people who are nice to me, and I constantly struggle with my classmates, specially the most rude ones, even if they're joking, because I have a really hard time differentiating "just joking" and *actually being rude and wanting to hurt me*

[Jooney]

How to become a friend with an INTJ:
- ask but don't push (as Frank mentioned)
- genuinely show interest in them
- ask them for advice but don't overwhelm them with your emotions, especially don't be unreasonable
- if you manage to make sure they feel accepted by you (points above help you a lot), you win a loyal friend for the rest of your life

[PAHG]

I'm an INTP and my best pal is an INTJ. We don't talk to each other a lot, but when we do, it switches back and forth between who starts the conversation and such. Once I found out he liked something I liked that I consider pretty niche, we just clicked. Not instantly, though. It took about 2 months for us to really be friends.

What's funny too is that we're both nerds and are really good in the academic field. Our class got our report cards for the third quarter last week, and when I saw he had better grades than me, in my head I was like "Finally, a worthy opponet."

I'd consider us rival-buddies, but we're definitely more friendly towards each other. :))

[Aus_Boss]

As an infp I was like, "Aight we're not even THAT sensitive" and then with Frank's chili example I was like "Okay, yeah you're right, we are THAT sensitive" 😂

[TheGeekMonster]

INFJ here - very, very true stuff! We're often warm, approachable, sympathetic, and friendly. But who we take DEEP into our hearts is very, very selective. It's only the people we feel safe with. The people we feel appreciated and understood and supported by. And since we're rare, introverted personalities to begin with, that's usually not many people. But because we often have big, caring, giving hearts, people tend to latch onto us and suck our energy. Boundaries and limits are an absolute MUST for an INFJ to learn. Learn to say no - but more importantly - to not feel guilty over it!

[MaraschinoPenguin]

“Skittish” is definitely a good word for an ISTP. When I first met my husband, he practically ran away when I tried to talk to him.

[kagosunka]

As an infp after we become friends honesty and loyalty is very important.
INFP really hates dishonest and pretentious people. We infp are very open minded so we want you to be yourself . 👁️👁️ I ended my friendship with my friend of 6 years cause she use to lie alot not even for a good reason she use to lie unnecessarily like she lied she got ear piercing 🤷 to a very close friend simply .

[valhudson]

INFP married to ENTJ here and I was laughing so hard when you said it was hard to stay married to an ENTJ because SAME! But it's so worth it <3

[thomashammerheart]

I love how you almost always put INTJ and INFJ last. It’s like you know who your audience is.

[tonyagilmer]

One of my happiest moments...my ISTP daughter told me that if we weren't related, we would be friends. ~INTP

[linmonPIE]

I can confirm that as an INFP I’m actually more on the stoic side. What’s weird is when I think I appear to be all bubbly and interactive, people will still think I’m being standoffish. “What do you mean I’m quiet? Did you not hear me speak a whole 2 sentences?” Lol “What do you mean I don’t seem happy? I’m actually pretty happy right now.”

It’s like the wall I built is so thick it can be hard to break through it even when I want to. It’s a rare and happy occurrence when someone “gets” me.

[iii]

As ENTP my closest friends that aren't childhood friends are people who "got the joke". I often throw in a joke or word play or reference when talking for myself to enjoy, but sometimes people notice it and play off of it and that's how best friendships start. People who got the joke are pretty much all personalities, suprisingly more feelers than thinkers
