Could you elaborate a bit?
It's been my good fortune to have two INFJs as friends for a few decades now, so the observation of their tenacity comes from the frustrations of communicating with their need to ascribe their emotional response as mine. While I admit they don't often push the issue, I've learned they also don't let it go. On occasion it will be brought up later. At other times they continue as nothing happened, confidant that they were right and basing our future on the flawed assumption. At other times they withdraw from the urge to argue, but with the confidence that they are right, and I am wrong, even though it is my emotional state being discussed. This creates separations, often lasting years. It is my loss. INFJ and INTJ are the types I most enjoy being around, but with the INFJs there are misunderstandings that don't exist with the INTJs.
It doesn't help that these INFJs avoid exposing the truth of their own feelings at the very time when sharing might bring an understanding of why we're not experiencing the same emotional response to the circumstance.
