Personal experience can certainly shape your life in a profound way regardless of personality characteristics.|||I was thinking that being an INTJ and studying something more abstract like philosophy might give them a unique approach to the subject and may have helped that bunch come to some of their more...|||I personally never have spent time trying to convince or seduce other people to like me more. I was always just myself at all times and you are correct in saying that I have no interest in the crowd...|||I will say that I would not generally cry over something like that but I can see why it would be overwhelming. However I hate working with other people in a manner like this and nothing gets me more...|||With some of us it really seems to be the case Smiles. I can at least say for it's very true and that side of me can helps me take things to the extreme whether it would be work, studying,...|||Movies and music tend to actually be the only two things that usually overwhelm me and make me tear up very very rarely though. Rocky is an emotional very inspiring movie. I never sob though. It's...|||Well said and we all thank you for the kind words. It's also nice to get a different non INTJ perspective of what we are perceived as. I have to say that most of the general population will...|||Exactly you really have great control over how you phrase things to get just the right mood across. Very true haha. I definitely prefer to be alone and feel much more calm and at ease by myself but...|||That was a very informative and interesting post and I love knowing the science of what makes up our urge to cry. It makes sense that they are different versions and it is a multisystem process. I...|||I couldn't agree more. I have heard that he was bullied and abused when he was younger and that, that had played a huge role in what he became later in life. All are possibilities I would be really...|||Thank you! Haha I didn't even notice I did that you really hit the nail on the head with that one haha. I agree the mobile version is challenging to work with on the iPhone as well. Thanks for your...|||Oddly enough I'm very happy to hear someone else in the world shares that difficulty. Lol. For me either I just don't say it or the trust level between the person and I has to be through the roof so...|||I always think was it a luck of the genetic draw that made them like that or was it their environment or something that happened to them. I am going to have to say a little bit of both I would...|||Maybe I don't really wish to either. More than wanting to I think I am just curious how other people let it out and behave in certain situations lol.|||I have to really agree with this. Then as I'm trying to share it I realize I don't have the words to. It's a vicious cycle and makes people you care about think your cold or something.|||Our type seems to compliment yours in that case. Personally I love and really find absolute solace in the fact that everything can be explained and calculated. That's what makes me feel warm and cozy...|||Excellent Atheist video I loved it. I can't believe we still live in a society where children can be teased until the point of tears for not believing in god. : ( Yes I used a lower case g on...|||That's a little scary to think about lol. I'd say I'm intense and intelligent but not a sociopath lol. When his signature was analyzed by a graphologist it clearly showed that he was mentally...|||Thank you very much Dauntless I'm in the purest form just being myself. : )|||Amen brother. That is one tough thing to get through the INTJ thick and stubborn skull.

I'm sure there are some brilliant introverts lurking in these online forums nestled nice and cozy near our safety blanket of computer screens and keyboards lol|||On a side note does anyone know how to delete a post ? I keep accidentally posting a new one by mistake.   To reiterate to the original poster, I personally think to some people it can be off...|||Thats a very interesting question with a complicated answer. That could be more of a self esteem issue than a personality characteristic. However they could be linked when you feel isolated and alone...|||Thanks Hela! Looking forward to chatting with everyone here. I was thinking while I was first exploring the interface of the forum how great it would be to have a chat function on here.|||Turning inward and focusing on yourself, maintaining emotional and physical healthiness and have a few good friends goes a long way. I'm not perfect at it and I'm sure neither are you but I agree I...|||I'm thinking the same things that give INTJ's a lot of unique and special power can also cripple us. It's hard to logic your way out of an addiction and the intensity that we display in other areas...|||Thanks : ) I do enjoy good discussions and I feel can add a lot to most conversations and debates. We definitely can be friends. My enneagram type is 6.|||I understand what you mean with the obsessing. I stopped playing video games at around 12 or so when a new interest took place.

I started playing guitar and applied that same intensity and obsessive...|||I'll definitely pop over to the other thread. Something to me about the intensity of most INTJ's seems to correlate with addiction and at times mental illness. We are a strange bunch indeed.|||Nothing. It's horrible I almost never cry. Although the ending scenes of the Dark Knight Rises are very emotional for me. That one I actually teared not actually crying more like watering of the...|||Danced in front of 3 Swedish women with nothing on but my cowboy hat covering me in my friend Rob's Hollywood apartment Lol oh my god what a night....Damn that gallon jug o' vodka to hell. Makes me...|||Happy posting you crazy extrovert! lol|||I am curious to see if there are many INTJ's who also smoke cigarettes a lot and if there is any correlation between the personality type and addictive behavior. Ready set go.|||Joined the forums just to meet and talk to some interesting and like minded people. It's tough to meet INTJ's or compatible personality types in public so anyone who wants to chat just shoot me a...|||For me personally in reference to a non romantic relationship when someone tries to get to know me it takes a lot of time and a very very deep trust must develop before there is any sharing on my...|||Sorry Desert Wind I'm confused at your post?|||Oh and sleep is the most important thing!!

I really would like the thrill of building a great company and running...|||Talk therapy has helped me more than anything and I can't recommend it enough.
