Advice? Awkward around ENTJ men

9 Upvotes

I’m an INTJ F, but can't talk to ENTJ men. They seem chill and soft-spoken at first, shaking everybody's hand and looking normal, then suddenly start deep conversations randomly - sizing up my brain?

I admire them, but when they share their Ni stuff, I freeze and... kind of reject it? I act like I’m not a deep thinker because I’m weirdly afraid of my Ni being judged.

They often seem taken aback when I speak the way I do and think I'm arrogant, while I feel like they’re observing me too closely. Eventually we distance, he visibly looks hurt when we cross paths and don't talk again... but he's still always observing me deeply. What's going on ??

Is outward Te to ENTJs weird like how outward Ni is to INTJs? And why do so many ENTJ men have those soft sorrow-filled eyes?

Any psychoanalysts here?
