'Sometimes INTP's are seen as being arrogant and condescending, being very introverted since their judging and sensing are both introverted and their Fe is so low. I think all of this describes an...|||So I've dealt with major depression, was always in a heavy state of mind for almost half a year. Then I got better, not completely healed, and felt blue most of the time, but it wasn't a paralyzing...|||Because I've had a depression that started with her. I do not wish to go down that road again.  Depression as in real, clinical depression.|||This is the thing, I've already done that. I'm currently dating someone else, actually. I'm not sitting around thinking about her actively anymore. Still, no matter how busy I get, I still find...|||It's already been about 7 months. I don't have strong feelings for her now - or so I think, but we happened to talk a bit today. For some reason, later today I've thought that she could be having sex...|||I agree, but this is too narrow. What about manic depression? I suppose that in the same way you could say it is a feeling state.|||I'm quite curios. I've had clinical depression, but I'm being resilient and bouncing right back. At any rate, it made me wonder. How does depression affect MBTI personality?  For my part, the best...|||This is mind-blowing for me. I always thought a no means a no, so I almost never asked twice.  Also, it's not like I'm afraid of rejection. I'm actually afraid of being vulnerable, if that makes...|||Sorry, I suck at this. I'm not really good with strangers in general. How do I ask her out for a friendly chat? I'm assuming directly asking her to grab a coffee sometime is too aggressive in...|||Ok, I won't pretend I know anything about this. How exactly does an INTP approach a girl he's had little interaction with? I've met a girl last summer, and we had a really good talk for an entire...|||My main problem is not doing stupid things, but forgetting if I did things or not. Just now I was wondering whether I used soap or not in the shower.  The nightmare is when I wonder if I closed the...|||Neither are they very positive, heh.|||Wait, doesn't everyone do this? It's just a six thingy? Also, isn't this the natural and healthy way of doing it?|||Boku Dake/Erased - Awesome series:  Kayo - INFP  Satoru - INFJ  Kenya - INTJ Mom - ENTP Pizza girl - ENFP Teacher - ENFJ, quite unsure|||They can be tiring, after a while.|||Thing is, people that do know me well don't consider me at all to be arrogant. I have one friend that considered me arrogant, but once she got to knew me well told me I am not at all. In fact, all of...|||I'm trying to work on myself. I've recently found out that people view me as arrogant, while I'm far from being arrogant. In fact, I had some huge self-confidence and self-esteem problems. I still...|||I think this has to do more with enneagram type 5's (most common for INTP's) basic fear of being incompetent.|||The eyes are the gate to the soul.  http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/staticfiles/NGS/Shared/StaticFiles/Photography/Images/Content/afghan-girl-portrait-article-phot-127438-in.jpg|||INTP - The impossible super power of actually doing what they are thinking|||I've had an extremely nasty experience which I've described in detail in this thread: http://personalitycafe.com/sex-relationships/761458-help-me-understand-what-happened.html  My problem is I...|||I have an INTJ friend. I've noticed that knowledge-wise we are about equal, with me maybe being slightly above him. However, one thing I've noticed is that he is actually implementing all of his...|||Correction. It was through Fe. I dislike Fe because it has the potential to do this.|||It's a bit off-topic, but I dislike Fe, but not for some silly reasons. There was one INFJ girl that marked me. I've had a relationship with her only to find out she was using me all along, all due...|||I wonder how long will the war between Kylo Ren INFP or INFJ last. My 2 cents are that he is INFJ, but I am not very good at typing.|||I don't understand exactly what a type's shadow is, as in I don't get which one is it.  Dichotomy-wise INTP would go E-S-F-J. Cognitive wise he would go Te-Ni-Se-Fi, so ENTJ. Which one is it and...|||I don't know, the first guy stroke me as 4w3, but the thing about the enneagram is that it deals with inner most motivations. You're making us type them by outer behavior, which is really just a wild...|||It is an interesting question. Purely in MBTI, no, I don't think so. Mom is INFP and dad is ESFP. They both have very strong Fi, while my Fi is called the devil's function.  However, from the...|||Stupid site, 2x post|||J's prefer acting within structure. P's prefer freedom of acting.  I got this from Please understand me II, by David Keirsey (If I remember correctly).   Mutatis mutandis, P's seek as much...|||It's true. However, I seem to fascinated by everything nowadays. Even the smallest of small talks can acquire me interesting info and make me excited :laughing:.  When I was younger, I hated it....|||This is an interesting perspective. I see and understand your points - except for the Ni part. In the books she immediately realized the meaning of the gifts. She had a sudden realization, not a...|||Hm, interesting. I didn't see her as an Si dom. Could you please build up your argument a little? I thought I saw inferior Fe in the way she really cared about everyone and yet seemed so cold on the...|||Oh well, I am not looking to start an argument, so to each his own. However, I would feel really awkward if someone random approached me and started talking about sex, or the meaning of life or...|||I'm sorry, but that probably won't happen. If we are strangers I'm a going to keep it very light, and it is probably a good idea to keep those kind of conversations light. I mean, it would be very...|||Spoiler:   I hate how they made it seem like Katniss premeditated killing Coin when in the book she actually took the decision in the spur of the moment. They also missed some parts entirely -...|||Things I don't get:  1. Why do people type Katniss as an ISTJ? She's highly individualistic and definitely seeks autonomy, thus strongly an ISTP. Her neediness that comes through sometimes is...|||I had a pretty good childhood. No major events that scarred me. However, I didn't feel much. I was pretty carefree.  However, looking back at it I was a pretty mean person. I once even threw a...|||Are you guys sure about this? Every time I mention her boyfriend she seems to start looking away, that much is true. However, I don't want to end up being obsessed with her while waiting for her to...|||You're kind of right. One of my friends mentioned that he thinks she likes me and that I should make a move on her. I'm glad it wasn't all in my head and that it really seemed that way. This means...|||I think you're confusing being polite with being social.|||If you're currently in love that'd be great. Yup. I'm in love with an INFJ. I thought she was hitting on me. She even had dilated pupils all the time. When I asked her out she told me she has a...|||There seems to be quite a stereotype that INTP's are really bad at socializing, that they are social retards and so on.  To be honest, I never really got that. I am definitely an introvert, and I'm...|||I ain't murican bro :(|||Ok. This thread is extremely depressing. I just want someone to share his ride with me.|||Stupid forum. 2x post.|||You don't have to be random. There is a lot of context in a lot of social situations, you just have to look for it. Let's say you're in a store. There is an infinity of possibilities here. You could...|||I'm doing fairly well in life at the moment, but there's a fear of mine I've been having. I tried ignoring it, but it just keeps coming back. I am most afraid that I will age and end up all alone,...|||Consider filling a questionnaire in which you give info about yourself. I'll do a very quick analysis, but I strongly advise you fill one (they are found in the sticky section of this thread). ...|||But someone who prefers Fi over Te will be able to get himself organized and achieve his goals, despite him being, let's say, ISFP. Sometimes more efficiently.   I won't accept that I will never be...'
