How Capable You Are of Merging Your Life with Someone, Based on Your Personality Type
For some people the idea of having to join their lives with someone else, becomes a bit overwhelming. They find themselves struggling each time they have to merge parts of their life, like moving in, joint accounts or really anything that takes away a piece of their independence. For others this is a simple process when they are sharing with someone they care for. Here is how you handle merging your life with someone else, based on your personality type.
INFJ
INFJs might be independent people, but when they find someone they care deeply for the merging process is not that difficult. They actually enjoy finding someone they can connect with and feel a joint bond with. For the INFJ sharing their life with someone else is often a goal they deeply desire to meet. It might take them some time to really find someone they can trust and feel prepared to leave some of their independence for, but it is often something they want.
ENFJ
ENFJs are definitely comfortable joining their lives with someone they care for deeply. The healthy ENFJ often craves this process of growing closer and building a deeper bond with someone. For them it is important to be able to find someone they can share their lives with and connect with. They want to be able to feel close enough to begin merging their personal lives and finding ways to let go of some of their independence. While they do want to maintain parts of their previous life, that doesn’t mean they are afraid of moving forward and merging most things.
INFP
INFPs do seek to find someone they can really share their lives with, and so in some ways they are prepared to merge parts of themselves with someone else.

They do however, want to maintain pieces of their independence, and dislike feeling as though they aren’t free to be themselves.
ENFP
ENFPs do value being able to connect with someone, but at the same time they are very independent people. They can struggle to really merge certain parts of their life, since it can feel a bit like they are being smothered. Even the ENFP who is deeply in love and wants to spend their lives with one person, can struggle with the process. It isn’t because they are afraid of the commitment, so much as the fear of losing parts of themselves in this process.

For them independence is important and it can be a bit difficult to move forward with changing how things have been for them.

For the ENTJ it is often about having control in their own personal lives and feeling like they aren’t losing that in the wrong ways.
INTP
