Totally agree with Jock on the "stick to ideas" thing. It's not as though we won't tell you something about our personal lives if we trust you, but we don't like being under the microscope. We'd much prefer it to just come out naturally in the course of conversation.
Sometimes with my ENFP friend, I just feel like she wants more than I can give--if I'm in a quiet mood, she wants to know what's wrong, or if I'm mad at her or something. It makes me feel kind of anxious, b/c I don't like taking my emotional temperature every five seconds. I just want to be. And then I kind of feel like I should give her more feedback so she won't feel anxious, and it's a big circle.
Just fyi, INTPs are rarely sitting around holding grudges for something stupid you said or did. We either a) didn't notice or b) noticed, but wrote it off as an anomaly. Heaven knows we certainly aren't in a position to judge social gaffes.
