When you are INFP and they are ENFJ
The warm cheerleader who believes in you first
An ENFJ often sees your potential before you do and says “you can do this” like they mean it. Their dominant Fe reads and rallies people, and their auxiliary Ni pictures where you could grow, so you tend to stretch a little taller around them. They respect the deep values your Fi holds, and you help them remember the heart they forget while tending everyone else. It's a warm, mutually illuminating match; the only tuning needed is keeping encouragement from turning into pressure.
