"I love you" or "I love you and I cannot live without you"

I don`t think "emotional dependence" to someone is type related.

I disagree. I think it has a lot to do with position of Fi.

really? So like Fi polr would be less dependent, for example?

Absolutely. Can you imagine a single SLE saying he can't live without someone?

Just look at who supports the phrase in this thread vs. who doesn't. It seems like a most of the Fi-valuers support the sentiment, and Fe-valuers are the ones who think it's unhealthily dependent.

This might also have to do with Se and the need to be independent...which brings me to think it might also be related to romance styles. It seems like Infantiles especially would develop such dependency.

Anyway, it's not too much of a stretch to think this issue is type related, considering most of the people who voted "yes" are delta.

yeah I can buy that. I'm very independent. Even though I don't have much Se on my own, I do value it. Anyway, I think you're, um, prollyright. hehe

Yeah, I'm not very independent (Infantile, Fi-type), and I have actually said that to someone.

but wait! you're infantile but if you're NeTi, that makes you Fi polr, yes?

Did you actually read the responses in the thread? Because it seems like you got a pretty backward impression of them.

Also, what about Romeo & Juliet (the classic embodiment of this sentiment), always being tied to Beta?
