ENTJ friend= Best friendship I've ever had

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum(I know how much everyone cares) and felt that I should write this sentence to feel as if I have officially entered the INTP community. I am also an INTP for when/if this is analyzed(at least im pretty damn sure unless someone would like this challenge this)(please don't, its late and I'm probably going to partake in it and I wont go to sleep)

So my question is: Have you ever made a friend that has made a significant impact on your life?

I ask this question because of the ENTJ that has allowed me to see that I love debating, I over-analyze everything, and tend to "kill the mood" often by stating facts of logic(I hate the sound of that but tbh its 4:21am and I kinda care but this statement excuses it...or at least lets you know I acknowledge it)

-We will get into bouts where if she is being stubborn, I will also be stubborn to show her how annoying it is. She will then start shooting low blows my way. If I show that those blows hurt me, she will know that it can get to me. So I reply with low blows of my own and I can tell by the expression on her face that it worked(usually im making the same type of expression but she probably hasn't made that observation). One of us will then crack a smile, start laughing, and we both move on to something else. This is usually our bonding time.

-She tends to get annoyed with the fact that she "cant feel dominant" over me because I am too dominate. I continue to tell her that I have no interest in being dominant and that she can be if she would like. She will then proceed to explain why that statement is the reason she cant feel dominant.

-I LOVE the admiration I get from her for my ability to correct English papers. One day in class, she was looking over her final draft that she was about to turn in and I asked "Want me to take a look at that?" Her reply was "Hahaha. No thank you. This is actually my strongest subject." So I went along with what she said and insisted that since she is so confident, she wouldn't have a problem showing me. She handed her paper over to me. 50+ grammatical corrections and a few "serious revision needed" comments later, she began to contemplate suicide(most likely).

-At some points, she will comment on how disorganized, lazy, and unmotivated I am to do things. I usually reply to her with something along the lines of "or maybe I want you to think that because I want to throw you off and make you think what I want you to think". She will then proceed to call bullshit, we both laugh, and I stop laughing slowly and leave her questioning the validity of the situation.

-She keeps trying to make a planner for me just like hers. All neat and organized. She is going to kill herself to death with all the planning she has. I doubt she really enjoys her life with all of that structure. I like to live in the moment and as nice as a planner sounds, its unrealistic(for me at least).

-Her strengths are my weakness and vice versa. Also, after dating an INFJ for 2 1/2 years, I have become really in touch with my feelings. So I help her understand that I can enjoy her brutal sense of humor towards others and also how her being a complete douche bag isn't socially acceptable and will result in others not following/listening/respecting her(manipulation, what?).

-At this point in time, other than my ENFJ friend that I go to for affirmation of my sanity, my ENTJ friend is the only company I seek. She makes me feel like I can be myself with her. I can crack jokes on her and she do it right back. She helps me get out of my shell and I help her see things from a different point of view.

I am going to go ahead and post this already. The structure is poor, the wording is redundant in some areas, and I am saying this because I know and I want you to know that I know so that no one else knows.

Doesn't that defy a Geneva convention?

She sounds like a great friend, hitman. If the INFJ ever leaves you, your ENTJ looks like a good Plan B (no pun intended). If the INFJ is already gone, sweep the ENTJ off her feet before it's too late! Regarding friendship, though, I think that you two will be the best of friends: like Kirk and Spock.

Hitman gave me the impression of being female but perhaps the gender of an INTP is unreadable from their words alone. Then again, I'm assuming that she(?) is of a heterosexual orientation but I'm not quite sure why I am doing that.

Oh, yeah. Welcome to the forum, you will fit right in.

Thanks! I'm a guy haha, but I can see why it would be confusing(read it in a girls voice).

Also, you said I will fit right in...I am honestly ecstatic about that, but what did I say or do to make you think that?

I recently left INTJ forum because I honestly didn't fit in. All of my post were criticized to no end, 90% of the people were anal-retentive assholes, and it seems like most of them were forever alone(which made them angry trolls). So I really do hope that I can just be myself here and not worry about my postings.

Anything specific you think I should know about the forum?
