INFJ+INFJ relationship, any thoughts about this?

I think it'd be two times too much of "The Me Show!"

We're emotionally high maintenance, whether we like it or not.

Liar! I'm not high maintenance...

Oh my goodness, yes. I think that if I ever met myself I would find me insufferable. A male version of me would be even worse

I'm not high-maintenance ...

This idea seem kind of like incestuous

But in a romantic relationship? Being around/with another INFJ 24/7?? Ug. I think it would be boring, not to mention annoying (I mean, the same sorts of pitfalls/weaknesses/dilemmas/patterns for both), and wouldn't yield many opportunities to grow and expand as a person - on both of our parts.

I am going on 4 weeks with an INFJ (and I am an INFJ too). Things just keep getting better. The level of communication is amazing. Both of us value that very much. We are very very similar where it counts yet uniquely different in many of the important ways too. She just turned 40 and I am 41... almost 42. I think by this age INFJ's have worked out enough stuff in their heads to know what they really want and need. I other words it takes us a while to grow up but once we have it can be quite amazing with another INFJ.

I think it could work if you want someone truly similar to you. Some days I think I would like a girl with opposite personality traits, but compliment mine at the same time. And then there are days where I just would rather have that familiarity. I've spent my life around too many SF's, ST's, and NT's and I've never had an NF friend or relationship. When it comes to romance I think I would test it out with an INFJ chick. I don't think too much damage could come out of that, lol.

Nope. But you are an ENFJ.

Nope. But you are an ENFJ.

Ha. I wish! Cause then I'd be kewl

Yeah man, but look at you... you're coming apart... maybe just a little maintenance now and then would be in order?

I just started becoming friends with a fellow INFJ woman. We were introduced over a year ago and probably nothing would have come of it except that she had a specific thing she thought I could help her with, and that got us talking. When we both found out we were INFJs, we practically jumped up and threw ourselves at each other. We're in a workplace saturated with NTs. I must say, it's very very nice to be among your own kind. I imagine it would be great with the opposite sex, too, with the caveat that you had better be ready for a Capital R Relationship, because it almost can't be anything else. To me, that's excellent for a female friendship -- I want to build a relationship and know she does, too -- but with men and women, sometimes that's a little much all at once.
