What it feels like
Intellectually magnetic. They see the outside of everything you see the inside of. Long conversations, oddly draining aftermath.

Debate, perspective-swapping, seeing a problem turned inside out.
Where it strains
Sustained closeness — each of you slowly talks the other out of their own way of seeing.
