Questions About Connecting and Interacting With ENTJs

Well.. He is very smart but he can be so brutally honest that I wonder if he intentionally does that to make me want to cry. Of course I wouldn't dare.

Me: Oh, did you see that funny youtube video.. The woman did blah blah.. hahahah
Him: That was a fake. Are you that gullible? You can't believe everything you see.
Me. ... Oh well...I can't see how that was fake.
2 days later- I get an email.
with a link verifying that it is indeed a fake.
me: :|
Arghhh!! I hate that he's right and I feel like he just rubs it in. Is it necessary to be smug?
I know it's not intentional (after discovering he was an ENTJ) but sometimes I feel like he is just waiting to pop every single happy bubble. But then at the same time, he says:
"You have no idea how much I learn from you" and "you are so happy , I love that about you. You are the love of my life..." When he says things like this--it shocks me. I'm thinking then stop being so mean!

Oh he likes to tell me that..."Truth is an intruder and receives the intruders welcome".... :dry:

I find this interchange strange. You made no claim as to the veracity or lack thereof of the video, only that you found it funny. The veracity of the video, any gullibility on your part, etc. is beside the point, so what purpose was there in him jumping on that? And then you took the bait... hehehe.

Some things are purely for the lols -- not like a scientific treatise, a police report, a court document, etc. -- and should be taken as such.

Yes, I think I understand a bit better now. Let me ask you this. When it comes to this latter group of people that you like to discuss abstract topics with, are they also divided into separate categories? Perhaps some of them are more closer to you on an emotional level than others? If so, then what specific qualities do these people closest to you possess?

From the various things I've seen Te-doms write on this website, it doesn't appear that you lot are the "wear your heart on your sleeve" type. So are there any other characteristics besides intelligence that would make you decide that it was safe enough to give someone a peek into your hopes, your fears, your insecurities, your aspirations... you know, those things that, when exposed, might make you feel more vulnerable?
