So I'm INFP and I've had a friend for a couple years now who's ISTJ. It's been an emotional rollercoaster. After working through a previous relationship problem where I got hurt, then months later when the ISTJ found out about it, and they got hurt. I've recently been hurt again by the ISTJ and possibly reacted emotionally pushing the ISTJs buttons. I stand by my judgement that their behaviour was completely unacceptable. The ISTJ probably thinks the same thing about me. Since then, the friendship has been falling apart.
In terms of moving forward, I'm considering sending the ISTJ a message saying that I need a break/space from them but emphasising that its not a long-term thing. However, I'm concerned that this will push the ISTJ further away. I've triedso hard too hard to fix the problem with the ISTJ pushing me away, that even though they've (ambiguously) indicated they would like to talk about it at some point I don't think I can anymore. How can I navigate this without making the problems worse?? I really don't want to hurt this ISTJ or myself. And so far I'm doing terribly on that front.
Any advice or insight would be appreciated.
