    Default ISTps do you have problems having feelings for people?

    Do you have problems having feelings towards people? Are you capable of loving someone outside of immediate family?

    Not only can they love someone outside of immediate family, but from my experience when they do love they love very intensely and concretely. That depth of emotion is a precious commodity for them and they're really careful about just spreading it around. It's buried far beneath the surface but once it gets going it's on autopilot. They'll do anything and everything for the people they love. They just don't love a lot of people, that's all.

    Aww I kind of miss my first boyfriend (SLI).

    Yeah this is true. I've only felt like that with one person and I've dated a lot. It's kinda scary to think that might be a one time deal kind of thing. It kinda brings up that whole thing of "is there really only one person meant for us" debate that I don't want to get into but am almost starting to belive.

    For me it brings up the other quandary: is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all? I've never been in love. At the moment, I think it would be worse to be in the position of having had that kind of love and then never having it again, so I feel you.

    Most definetly. I think it's infinitely worse to have loved and lost.

    Maybe it's a trust thing? I'm realizing that I very quickly allow myself to start the process of learning to love someone when I feel like they are attractive enough for boyfriend material. I feel the feelings and think the thoughts and just get overwhelmed that I must pursue this possibility. It seems like SiTe don't really work that way, there's this slow warming up to, a long case of trust and becoming permanent. I think it's because SiTe become loyal, almost to a fault, once they get into a relationship, and wouldn't want to invest that much energy, especially if they are insecure about this section of themselves, in someone who's not worth it and will take advantage of them.

    Don't give up Jessica. You are capable of finding and giving great happiness. SLIs just need to find one of the right people out there and realize it in time.
