1. ISTJs are often uncomfortable with overly emotional people or situations while INFJs are annoyed of emotionally detached individuals.The INFJ may feel unequal in the relationship as they feel less satisfied in their overall relationship with the ISTJ who has all of their needs met while the INFJ are left emotionally untouched.

2. While INFJs have a need for understanding emotions, ISTJ are less concerned with the feelings of others which can create a drift between common ground in a relationship. This may cause the INFJ feel useless in their emotional connective abilities as ISTJ don’t often concern themselves with their emotional state.

3. INFJ often find ISTJ very superfluous with their need for order and rules. Sometimes the ISTJ play extremely close by the rules of the book to be considered human by the INFJ. Likewise, the ISTJ may feel uncomfortable by some spontaneous tendencies of the INFJ.

4. The superb level of organization and cleanliness that ISTJ have amazes INFJ, and the ISTJ can appreciate the INFJ’s ability to understand and respect this part of them.

5. Both types have a respect for knowledge and facts.

6. Like the INTJ’s impeccable foresight, ISTJ have their own abilities due to their organized analytical nature. These individuals can predict likely scenarios that help them to avoid certain negative situations from arising.

7. There is a mutual respect regarding the Introversion that both types have. When they had enough of each other, they don’t take it personally. However the way this is done is very important. ISTJ upset INFJ by being unintentionally insensitive with their need for some solitude, while the ISTJ become upset by the INFJ’s tendency to quietly disappear without notice.

8. ISTJ dislike being expected to read the thoughts of the INFJ, and rather be told exactly what is being meant by the INFJ.

9. That being said, INFJs are more elusive and soft when it comes to what they really mean, which can frustrate both of them because the INFJ wishes for the ISTJ to be aware of their intentions through hidden meanings.

10. INFJ and ISTJ work well together when there is a specified goal. They make a great a team because of the ISTJ’s capability for productivity and organization that the INFJ respects. In return, the ISTJ benefits from the INFJs ability to adjust and to be the perfect amount of unexpected surprise. They are both dependable for one another to get the job done well.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
