The extremely rare INFJ-INFJ relationship.

Currently, I am pseudo-seeing (because its complicated) a girl who happens to be an INFJ, just like me.

This match is almost unheard of due to a variety of reasons; the extremely low population statistics from INFJs being the rarest type, how it contradicts the idea of "opposites attract," and how INFJs commitment tendencies make them even more difficult to come by on the dating market.

Upon meeting eachother, we quickly realized that we are EXTREMELY compatible. Its the type of compatibility where you almost immediately feel like you've known the other for years, being able to talk about almost anything together and intuitively understand what the other is feeling or thinking.

Has anyone else had any experience with INFJ-INFJ relationships? Is it possible that this pairing may actually be the best for INFJs in general? What's YOUR opinion on the matter?

There are some social checkpoints at 18 and 21 that cause issues, and the social statuses of "high school kid" vs "university student" vs "young employed person" vs "young unemployed person" are also issues, but in the end, you're both "young adults" and it's nobody else's business but your own. If you decide that the social barriers are insurmountable that is your decision. Not other peoples'.

On a broader level, you're an INFJ. If you create a habit of deciding to do or not to do things because other people think that otherwise you would be "weird" ... you're in for a bad time. Other people already think you're weird. They always have and always will. Get used to it. They can think you're weird and also kind of nice, or they can think you're weird and stand-offish, but they will, I guarantee you that, think that you are weird.

All good reasons, but most importantly, yours not anyone else's. :)
