    Yeah, when all the factors are just right, I'm thinking that it could actually work out for a LTR.

    All I can say is I cannot recommend it.
    LSI: “I still can’t figure out Pinterest.”

    Me: “It’s just, like, idea boards.”

    LSI: “I don’t have ideas.”

    When the factors are just right, probably. But factors don't remain that way for long, so it's only a matter of time before the cosmos return to normal.

    Yeah, it's like some sort of sick joke... On one hand you may like each other a lot, but then you might not be able to work it out when there's a problem.

There was nothing wrong per se, at least not anything i could accurately put my finger on and isolate to work on, just a certain inability to properly, fully, understand where the other person was coming from and inability to establish proper trust and re-assure one-another.

    Oh, also, a dual came along (the other person's dual, I mean)...
    That sucks, what's your type btw?

    I'm ENFp.
    Well, it seemed like your SO was stolen, hehe.

    I've known Se-dominants that seem to have been "attracted" to something about my presence, and not merely in order to cause me pain - i.e. perhaps there was something about me each time that made them feel compelled to get closer.

    As for the other way round - and with my knowledge of Socionics - it feels to me like a naughty pleasure. I don't mean that I intentionally pleasure myself with such people - I mean that it seems like a frivolous interchange where I may get burnt or where I may make a brief connection with the individual, perhaps a moment of mutual understanding. But generally (not just with conflictors), I feel wary, like I'm going to be caught out, so often, any physical attraction I am at such a distance that attraction as a result of a person's physique is not possible.
