PSA for INTPs (and others)
Bottling up your feelings, ignoring your feelings, not feeling any feelings and ignoring other peoples feelings is NOT just ‘being an INTP (or INTJ, or ENTP or any other type)’.
It is being UNHEALTHY.
We all have feelings, even if it’s just an one overwhelmingly numb one, or negative ones. They AREN’T illogical, don’t enable yourself by thinking that- even if they seem caused by something unreasonable, ultimately they have a cause. You have to work through them, try try try to either figure them out or just FEEL THEM. I know, it’s hard. I’m an INTP- sometimes I want to kill feelings, too. But what is life without them? They are part of what makes us human. Maybe it seems it would be easier if we didn’t have to feel anything bad- but then there would be no chances to feel happiness or love or excitement.
If you’re going through something painful that makes it seem like feelings aren’t worth it, or if you’re just immature or insensitive and don’t know how to work through emotions- please. You owe it to yourself, if no one else, to try to get through it, to mature and better yourself in this area just like anything else.
And of course, my messages and ask box are ALWAYS OPEN. I was a young emotional wreck once. Some days, I still am. I firmly believe God gives us experiences for a reason and maybe the reason I am who/where I am today as an INTP is so I can help someone else. IDK. But please, don’t hesitate xx
