It’s not easy to do! Unfortunately, in the past I haven’t been as communicative about why as I would like, and I think I’ve hurt people out of self-preservation by just running away. It sounds like you handled it much better than that.

In fact, I believe it’s so intrinsic that it should be treated as if it were its own ‪‎MBTI‬ letter-set! That said, it is also very closely related to T/F scale.

NFs typically have difficulty with this, but especially the iNFp, because they’re naturally so attuned to the needs of others and inclined to bend so much to accommodate others’ wishes.
