well first I thought I was an ISFJ, then an ISFP, now I'm pretty positive I'm an ISTP. it's really frustrating because I was so sure I was those other types!
but once I read this:
"One day, they may feel completely, intensely in love with their mate, and the next day they may be totally disinterested, or perhaps even ready to move on. This "live for the moment" type of approach is different from how most other types experience their feelings, and is difficult for many to understand. Consequently, the ISTP may be called "fickle" or "cold". In fact, they are not really fickle, and certainly not cold. They simply experience their lives on a moment by moment basis, and go along with it's natural flow."
I knew for sure that I was ISTP. what was said in that quote been a problem I've had with my girlfriend since day one, and I haven't told her a thing about it. she's always telling me how much she misses me and it's really difficult for me to tell her I don't miss her, because more often than not I don't.
and that's my problem right now! one minute I feel extremely connected and lovey dovey with her, true love etc, like deep fucking feelings for her. five minutes later, I could look at a picture of her and not feel those feelings at all. it really sucks because I really care about her and she deserves better than that
can anyone help with this? how can an ISTP have feelings for someone and keep those feelings?
