Yeah, I'm not saying it's an everyday thing
at all, quite the contrary. I just started dating an ENTP who isn't like that at all in any circumstance,
except with me. It's something I've been investigating, trying to reconcile his confident, funny, idea-fueled outward self with this
deep, open vulnerability when we are together-- and yes, it verges on insecurity, when he opens himself up to me like that. The congruent piece is
blunt honesty, whether from the mind or from the heart. I think. I love all of it, don't get me wrong.
I should say, the bloke in question is in his early thirties and has done quite a bit of growing in life. He's said that he's never had this kind of openness in relationship, so again, it's not a common thing. When I read the above article, I definitely had several "aha" moments regarding his intimate demeanor with me. I should also note that he's an Sx-first 7.
