What would you say, SPs?
If an SP is vulnerable with you - ie. tells you they’re feeling low, and why, tells you when something really moved them emotionally, and this sort of thing – does it indicate that they feel a really high level of comfort with you, and really trust and like you (as I would assume it would with many other types?)
Or is it more likely that they pick up on the fact that you appreciate people discussing emotions and deep feelings with them (I would appreciate this, as I’m an INFJ!), and they try to relate to/get along with all types of people, and they realize this is a good way (or even the best way) to do it with you? (ie. with a different type of person, the way to get along well with them might to go partying with them…or to be gentlemanly with them…etc, and they would use those approaches with those types of people)
I suppose these two options are not mutually exclusive. And I’m sorry if I sound a little suspicious (I have a bit of a mutual fascination/suspicion thing with SPs, at least some.) I don’t think I’ve had a lot of SP friends, but I have been surprised when a few have seemed to open up to me and I am not sure what it means.
I guess you could say I sometimes feel a bit uncertain about trusting SPs.
