[INTP] INTPs and narcissism

[chubber]

Hey there OP, I am an INFJ and I just recently broke up with my INTP boyfriend of 1 year, I can confirm at least from my experience, that it caused us to fight a lot, he was so selfish, constantly talked about his gym and stared at himself flexing his muscles. He had no ability for empathy-he even ignored me for days when I was very upset my pet died as he didnt know how to deal apparently, but would have been there "If I asked, because hes not a mind reader" lol.
He constantly talked at length only of himself to everyone, never interested in me or what I was doing. Dont think he ever once asked me anything about myself. He had a serious victim mentality...and so ofcourse the breakup is all my fault in his view haha (And no disagreement at work or anywhere else was his fault ever either). I personally wouldnt say its my perfect match, though it was supposed to be and there were a few things we had in common.

Where does it say INTP is the perfect match for INFJ?

Yeah, not a good match in theory. INTP = inferior Fe. Would not sit well for me romantically.

Where does it say INTP is the perfect match for INFJ?

I've read around online a few times in compatibility articles, that they are supposed to be the "Golden pair" which I think the OP mentioned.

Oh, I always thought INTPs were hard on themselves and were a self-loathing type. I guess that's just my experience.

I blame Kiersy.

Hey yall, INFJ here.

Recently was dating an INTP until I realised that he was an narcissist (plus he admitted it). Is this a thing with INTPs? I mean I've heard that INFJs and INTPs are apaz the 'golden match', but INFJs aren't fond of narcissists (at least from my view).

Dippy

As an INFJ, I was very narcissistic growing up. I can tell you almost with certainty that Narcissism can be a characteristic of any type.
