[MENTION=18819]five sounds[/MENTION], I agree with spanks. I learned to use an analogy that worked for my ex ISFP 9w8. Although it sounds rather unrefined, I used to say "I don't want to cock block your plans." From there we were able to achieve more win/win situations. Meaning he didn't feel like I was walking all over him. Plus it sounded funny to him lol.
Try this. I'm bored, wanna do something? Listen, nod your head, validate. Hey what if we did X? Here's why: lay out a couple reasons be a little enthused while you're doing that. Ask them if they wanna do what you're suggesting. WIN
What you are doing is highlighting the path of most resistance without bull dozing them.
I've 'had' 3 ISFPs in my life. My lil bro, my BFF from age 10 to 22ish and another friend of 3 years when I was 26-28ish.
