So there is this ESFP friend of mine, very funny, emotionally and mentally active. I've found that it's very difficult for us to open up to one another. She likes to leave details out, and I would have to guess, which I usually do with pinpoint William Tell accuracy. /brag

The "holding back" is mutual too; I feel that she's experienced too much for my life stories to be of any worth to her (talk about WWII with your grandpa, you'll know what I mean).

So, both of us being mentally and emotionally active (trust me, I don't even know if I'm an ENTP anymore), what are the steps I need to take to maintain a closer psychological distance? I think ethical values and methods of making acquaintances needs to be brought to the topic here, she IS an F after all.

In addition, DOs and DON'Ts when in front of an ESFP?

The ESFP's I've known open up when you share experiences and you don't push, bombard them with questions or judge them. They'll tell you a lot.
