INTPs in conversations & relationships.

[wildcat]

Is my INTP the only one that really does not like change and does not adjust to it all that easily? Also, Don and I have both noticed that while he is great in a crisis because he can keep it together, it always takes a toll on him later on and if the crisis is an extended one, it really wears on him.

In comparison, I tend to take change in stride and though I may initially flip out when there is a crisis, soon I'm able to adjust with little ill effects and I can handle longer term crises better than he can.

I know Ps are supposed to be good with change and Js are not, but we just have not seen things work that way in our relationship.

Yes.
There is the "paradox" ..

Alas they do not get it.

nope- my intp dad HATES some changes! He can be much more stubborn than my isfj mom about what he likes and dislikes.

Hell if the change wasn't brought about via INTP thinking then it's just plain wrong and SHOULD be subject to the auto resistance measures to the fullest!!!
