Hmm, I can see a vicious cycle between an immature ENTP and INFJ would emerge from that kind of situation. One would constantly try to connect through various medium, and the other would back off more and more due to the perceived "insecurity." I've seen that dynamic play out between many other types, but especially with preference combinations so diametrically opposed.
I can see why you'd say it would feel like infidelity. Maybe, it's not worth being in a relationship with someone you cannot open up to, or with. That's not a "relationship" then, as defined by your realistic needs.
i can open up with damn near anyone. the issue is more so that i need to make sure i get good, healthy, nutritious feeling to supply me with positivity. feeling creates inspiration, which is what makes me merge with the world. i find it in emotional expression, communication, context, drama, etc. watching it flow through the world, hearing it everywhere and in everything, etc.
i believe i am better when i am more open. it is a state of my own being more so than it is purely a contingent mode of relationship. but perhaps it must be a slow and gradual process, and i must be more aware of my own limitations and adjust my expectations in the moment more constructively.
i am not sure where this goes from here. i get pretty fucking excited whenever i hang out with entps and the ideas start flowing. it is a need that is equal to my need for feeling, but does something wholly different for me.
