'Ti/Ni can hold you back. If one lives in an oppressive society or it is generally difficult/looked down upon to indulge in one's Se, it can lead to Ti-Ni loops and general sadness. So it's probably...|||It's really pretty simple when it comes down to ISTPs: it will be obvious whether or not he's interested, unless he has something else to gain by pretending to be interested. Given that you are much...|||He wants you to use a less obnoxious font.  And probably to stop talking.|||I mean, I'm, like, hungry.|||I'm hungry.|||An average of one wherever I go. I literally am not able to keep in contact with anybody if I do not have anything in common with him or her, in the moment.|||Find commonalities, at least in topic if not the content itself. An ISTP enjoys a good discussion/debate and will not want you to concur with their views, like, just because. On the other hand, if he...|||Ron motherfuckin Swanson|||Troll.|||No. It's occasionally a struggle to garner the respect I wish to have due to my appearing younger than I am.|||1) Ignore until message received.  2) Intentionally get caught betraying him/her in a fashion of equal or higher magnitude of betrayal.  3) Move on as best as one can.|||sniperhippo lol, just out of curiosity how did you get banned?|||Making faces helps.|||I actually didn't really process your first post the first time around. I beg to differ about this statement; Mary most definitely does not get along with Richard Carlisle, and indeed has arguments...|||True, but with the same set of relationships and logic one could argue that she's a P because she gets along with Ps and not Js.|||I heard about this concept called sadness the other day, was wondering what that was all about.  But yeah, I agree; most of the time it would be most socially acceptable for me to be sad I end up...|||<shittystereotyping> If ever there were a senior citizen that figured out how to navigate the World Wide Web (:o what's that?), it would be an ISTP </shittystereotyping>|||Still haven't fully figured it out. Five bullet points for how to get out of one pretty please? :D|||I can really relate to Mary, which I realize is not concrete proof that she's an ISTP, but it's possible. I'm also only halfway through Series 2 so further character development may sway my opinions....|||Minimalist kinda stuff, but photography too.   Minimalist photography.|||ISTPs make love?|||I think being an ass early in the morning is independent of MBTI.|||Wait, but what does this have to do with his trusting you?|||Type Talk - YouTube  Just came across these videos, thought they were absolutely ingenious, especially the ones regarding Ns (I believe the maker of the videos is an INTP). Here's one for starters:...|||Bob Benson - FBI?|||You know, most of the ISTPs above have discussed in length about how it can be embarrassing or whatnot to let one's feelings out, but beyond that there are some real-world consequences as well. The...|||Basically this. I'm a big fan of suggestions but anything beyond that and you're infringing on my personal liberties.|||Like piercings, as long as they don't interfere with job prospects or other people's (like superiors') respect for me.  Same goes with tattoos, so I would definitely go with something small in an...|||Right there with ya. On one hand I absolutely cannot stand people telling me what to do, and on the other that's exactly the kind of firmness and discipline I'm strangely attracted to/need in my life.|||Very libertarian/sociallyliberalfiscallyconservative.|||Is this rule still in existence?|||I'm almost but not quite convinced yet that mcpng is a huge troll. Start two more wat-worthy threads and I'll know for sure.|||are you a troll!!?!?!?!?!??!?!|||I find that some good ol' self-lovin' does the trick as well.  Now I am about as perky an individual as your next unmotivated ISTP, but my statement is about 80% serious. Partially it's because I...|||A lot. It's a vicious cycle for me. During the week I am usually busy running around between classes and working (I'm in college) which energizes me, and I get a good daily dose of human interaction...|||When they try to get uncomfortably close.|||My problem is that I will absolutely not go out of my way to meet anyone new. In any specified social context (whether it's a class, meeting, or a group of friends I have known my whole life) I can...|||I only want to touch you if I'm sexually attracted to you.|||Left on social issues, right on everything else. Basically in around 200 years when a secular, libertarian party actually grows a decent pair of balls that's who I'm voting for.|||It sucks sometimes because people assume we're being passive-aggressive when we really just dgaf, but as an INTP with the same inferior Fe you're probably pretty understanding of this.|||Mom: ESFJ Dad: INTP  Mom cooks for the family, dad cooks for himself ---> dad is fat.|||INFJ, all the way. (if I remember correctly)|||I do not dislike them, I simply don't find them particularly stimulating and/or interesting. It's hard to have a real connection with them, especially the hardcore, literal, no-deviation Si users.|||Can you be more specific? Nobody needs to be with anyone unless, obviously, you're working together on a project or something, in which case I go all-out business mode so I can get the fuck away from...|||Do you ever feel like it's impossible to get to know anybody really well because you don't talk enough about yourself? I, for example, would not begin a conversation about myself except with very,...|||Oh, I read the title but not the first post when I voted, so I thought you meant in highest demand from the public (as in highest demand for a function within a workforce or in society in general). I...|||How are you?!   Although sometimes I do it just to prevent someone else from saying it to me first.|||Yeah no. Fuck hugs.|||Honestly, I take your situation to a whole other level. Every time I meet nice, decent people, I do your whole fake smile thang for awhile. Then they try to get closer and since I tend to be very...|||One never gets too old for Harry Potter.
