You're an INTP, you guys are a creative bunch. I'm sure you'll find something
I'm sure she doesn't feel it's intended slight hopefully she's the kind that's strong enough to not let it bother her. Most of the time I can be pretty good about slights that are unintentional or truly benign but sometimes...it just stings. Whats even more aggravating is that if you try and be extra nice to try and catch slighting her before you accidentally do it, she'll catch on to what you're doing and may feel you're patronizing her.
Or at least that's how I often react, and its a small wonder to me that people can get so frustrated with ISFJs. We're a well meaning bunch but far too sensitive. Or, again, maybe that's just me.
Haha! I am pretty genuine, so it would be hard for me to fake it. She does know when I'm not having a good time. I don't get frustrated with her at all. I just know that I could probably do more to make her feel like I care since my method of expression is so different from hers.
I'm not ISFJ. Could you just 'not filter' too many of your ideas and instead, share those with her? I'd think honesty would probably be good. That's a bond or connection in and of itself. Something really good for family.
I can, but I struggle with it a little bit because our interests are so different. I don't want to bore her. We can usually find something to talk about, but sometimes I think she believes that she had an alien child, lol.
Thanks to all who spoke up. I definitely have a starting point now.
