ESTJs definitely aren’t fans of goodbye and often try to avoid this entirely. When they are committed to someone or care for them deeply, the ESTJ will do everything they can to remain with them.

ESFJs don’t like backing out of a commitment, and so saying goodbye is often extremely challenging for them.

 

ISTP

ISTPs can often come to terms with saying goodbye, especially if it is the right thing to do. They understand that they cannot remain connected to everyone in their lives, and realize that sometimes they need to move on. ISTPs are often capable of moving forward and of saying goodbye, especially since they are such independent people.

ESTP

While ESTPs are independent and strong-willed people, there are times when they struggle to say goodbye. They believe in moving forward and don’t like remaining stagnant for too long. In most situations ESTPs are capable of saying goodbye, except for when they are emotionally connected to a situation. Sometimes they feel like they aren’t quite ready to move on, and so the ESTP will have a hard time saying goodbye.

ISFP

ISFPs believe in moving forward and this can often help them say goodbye when it feels right. ISFPs believe in doing what is best for themselves and their loved ones, and so they will say goodbye if it is best. While ISFPs are capable of moving on, it is often painful for them every time they have to. The ISFP will mourn this situation and be sad that they have to move on, but eventually they will bounce back.

ESFP

ESFPs don’t enjoy standing still and will enjoy being able to move forward. They don’t like being stuck in the same place for too long, since they want to live their lives to the fullest. When the ESFP does feel connected and bonded to someone, saying goodbye can become rather difficult. They want to feel loved and close to the people that truly matter to them, and saying goodbye in these situations becomes impossible.
