INTP Quote

“No, in your life, you never wanted to keep secrets. You wanted to leave puzzles, poems, for people to decode if they cared enough to pay close attention. How vain.”

Me an INTP: Hey guys I have awesome news!

INTJ Brother: Omg, she has killed someone!

ENFP Mom: Do you need me to come help you get rid of a body?

Me an INTP: No, what the fuck? I just wanted to say that I bought land for my birthday.

[Utter silence]

ESFP Dad: Did you make sure to get all the right for it?

Me an INTP: Of course, who do you think I am?

ENFP Mom: ... When did you decide to buy land? Was this a plan or did you just freak? Is this China all over again?

Me an INTP: No, this was the 10 year plan I made remember? We sat down and talked about it. Had like a whole 3 hour long discussion.

ENFP Mom: You were serious?

God I LOVE being alone and being connected to nature. I LOVE sitting in silence with the moon, stars, rain, sea, floating clouds, storms, the clear sky. I LOVE intently observing rain drops on tree leaves reflecting the golden afternoon sun after rain or busy ants carrying food to their home in line. Nature really heals a tired heart. I LOVE her company more than the company of any human being I know

Introvert Moment #116

Apologizing unnecessarily when asking for something since that usually gives you the interaction of least resistance

[intp-centred]

Why do I get fed up with people that want to get close to me so easily?

The truth is, I've never really asked myself this question. All I've known is this: people piss me off. And I assumed I had avoidant attachment style or something.

But I wouldn't be an INTP if I hadn't eventually started analyzing this problem (because it has been a problem to me), as I analyze everything in my life. And I've realized that what occurs in almost every single one of my relationships is – my need for space isn't respected.

It usually goes like this:

1. I meet a person.

2. Person decides they like me/are attracted to me.

3. They try to get to know me better via text messages.

4. They keep texting me.

5. I get annoyed with them.

The rest is history. The good thing is the problem isn't me, it's them. Over the years I've told multiple people that I need time for myself. That I get exhaused by constant texting. That I don’t need so much interaction. That it's not because I don’t like them, it's because I am this way. But it's like talking to a wall. If I have to explain myself so often to the same person, they always come to the conclusion that they know me better than I, that I am wrong, and that they aren't this way so neither am I.

I'm no contact with these people now.

I guess I've always felt weird with the description of INTPs as "misunderstood". I didn't believe it. It sounded like I was trying hard to be different. Now I see it's true.

Quite a lot of people can't even begin to comprehend the way I am, the way I act and think. This is why I think it's important to be very careful when it comes to picking friends. I've found a great friend who gets me and I wish all of luck to all of you out there struggling to find real connections.

Until next time,

INTP

Just an INTP thing

INTP: Prepares themselves for worst case scenario. * WORST CASE SCENARIO HAPPENS *

INTP: I knew It! *laughs sarcastically *

Which type of people do you like?

I can’t speak for other INTPs, but I don’t think there is a specific type of people I like that I can pin down, but if we click then we click.

I would say that anyone that I can have a deep and interesting conversation with is my favorite person in the moment. I remember there was a girl I only ever talked to once. We talked for 2 hours, exchanged contact, and never spoke to each other again. From time to time, I think of her and only remember how fun it was to talk to her. I’m sure we could’ve been best friends had I not been atrocious at keeping in contact.

Anyone whose first instinct is to try small talk with me has already made a bad first impression. I would much rather not have them approach me again if that’s what they plan to do each time they see me. People who immediately have a thought provoking question or start with a subject of interest has automatically made a fantastic first impression.

People who will indulge me on my current hyper fixation is also high on my list of favorite people.

Common interests are a must with no exceptions.

That’s all I got off the top of my head. I can’t say this is true for other INTPs, but at least this is my experience.
