Introvert Moment #98

Wanting to speak as many languages as you can. Not necessarily so you can use them out loud but just because you want more books.

sometimes i get insecure im not an intp, and then i reopen my wikipedia article instead of doing the 273 assignments i have and my confidence in being an intp is regained.

Daily interactions of a Logician(INTP-T) and a Mediator(INFP-T) roommates: (a.k.a. me and my roommate) Part 3

Picking books to read: 

INFP: *A book of the author she knows and likes, also been suggested by a few friends and on a subject she likes.* 

INTP: *The first book that comes into the hand, not on a subject she knows or likes, but trivial facts might come in handy anyway.* 

Picking movies to watch: 

INFP’s turn to choose a movie: 

INFP: So, this has very good reviews everywhere, our mutual friend said he really enjoyed watching it, I remember you like this director’s movies so it should be fine. But if you are not in a mood to watch a horror movie, I have two more back ups. 

INTP: Great, I will make popcorn. 

INTP’s turn to choose a movie: 

INTP: hoUSE oF thOUsand corpses

INFP: W-why did you choose that? 

INTP: *shiny eyes* It has Dwight and a woman kissing a fetus in it. 

Picking out clothes: 

INFP: I really like this flame pattern shirt, but I don’t know if it would look good with my leather pants… What do you think? 

INTP: I mean, you are the one who is gonna wear it, so it’s gonna look good. 

INFP: Aww, thank you! What is that in your hand? 

INTP: Brown sweater. Same with the one I am wearing right now. 

INFP: Why..? 

INTP: Because it is getting old but I still like it. 

INFP: Oh, then we already know it is gonna look amazing on you! 

INTP: Thanks. 

Cooking: 

INTP’s turn to cook:

INTP: I don’t feel like cooking. 

INFP: But-

INTP: Pizza or burgers?

INFP: We talked about this, we should eat healthier. We are wasting money on those things that are not even nurturing our bod-

INTP: Do you wanna cook? 

INFP: …...No. 

INTP: Pizza or burgers? 

INFP’s turn to cook:

INFP: *comes back to living room, fuming* 

INTP: What happened? 

INFP: I can’t! I can’t make a damn pancake! 

INTP: You want to eat pancakes? 

*One google search and loud noises on the kitchen later INTP comes back with fluffy pancakes*

INFP: This is amazing! How did you even do this? 

INTP: Non-stick pan and baking powder. You are doing the dishes though.

I just realized my room is a huge reflection of me, because all the parts I intentionally picked are grey and black, but it is crammed jammed with the remnants of a hundred phases, furniture, projects, and books that don’t even remotely go together. My clothes are all black and grey, but my mind is a lawless land of abandoned information and who knows what unfinished project is in that box I haven’t opened in awhile

someone please save me from the chaos I create

Life as an INTP

the alarm goes off at 7 a.m. You turn the alarm off, only for another to go off a minute later, and then the next minute after that, and then the next after that, until you’re fully awake and realize what your xxxJ roommate has done to you

buckets of caffeine

did you eat?

or did you just think about eating?

you have so so much you want to tell people

but you know they don’t really want to know so you keep quiet

until someone does want to know and you word vomit all over everything

useless factoids from The Internet you think you’ll never use

that glorious moment when you do use one

it isn’t that you intend to abandon all your projects/hobbies, they just don’t hold the same excitement they used to, so it’s hard to find the motivation to do them

you see the world as mysterious and beautiful, but that sounds really stupid and Feeler-y to say, so you don’t

but you think it

because you’re always thinking

and it can be a bad thing when you zone out and people feel like you’re staring at them

people though.

people are interesting and complicated and confusing and pretty nice in small doses

it’s when you’re given too large a dose that the world seems to be disintegrating to madness before your eyes

but really you’re just a normal person, and not a robot or a cold witch or a leprechaun like people make you out to be

you’re just you

which is all anyone can really ask for

Friend: Amazon Prime can ship me thousands of products to my front door. In two fucking days.

Intp: Technology is great. What's your point?

Friend: It takes you three days to process life events. I can get a set of ninja stars delivered before you process the emotions involved in sharing your Netflix password.

Intp: Do you want ninja stars?

Friend: No, I want my own profile on the Netflix account.

Intp: .....today is a Saturday, and I only process requests on business days.

Friend: Fine.

Intp: I'm going to order some ninja stars.

As an INTP, do you ever just love something or someone so deeply and purely and beyond logic and it confuses the heck out of you that you want this human, and then because your people skills and your lack of being able to properly sift through emotions you can never actually keep that person that you love? Like, you never know when to give or take or if they love you back but you know that you love them, and just really don’t know how to keep them? Maybe this isn’t INTP specific, but maybe.

Me: "I need to stop overthinking shit."

Me:

Me: "What is overthinking, exactly, though?"
