This just about sums me up. I like being alone, and always have. But as I get older I am beginning to question whether I "love" being alone...or I am just, "most comfortable" being alone. I love being in social situations, but it does tear me up inside and drains me of my mental energy to always...

^^ THIS is always what I tell people.

Oh yes, it is so poisonous to me. I hate that I do it, but it's like...the way I think. And I try hard to look the other way and give things more credit in good light, but something bad happens to me and I plunge back into the depths of hell. And I know I'm young and possibly very naive, but I...

I have always been a pessimistic person. I always look at the glass half empty, or the glass smashed into a million pieces. I have done it since I was a child. I would always hear of things that people do / have done, and think: holy shit. Humans fucking suck. Humanity is doomed. How can we go...

If I am copying something, like say drawing somebody or drawing a photograph, I do pretty well. It's like solving a little puzzle about sizes and what fits where to make it look exactly as the real thing. When it come to being original, I can sit in front of a paper for two hours and have...

I have always felt that way. By the time I was ten years old I was almost sure that when I turned 18 I would go off and live on my own in recluse and I would be completely fine with it. Now that I am a bit older, I fiend for hanging out. I am always trying to get out of the house because as a...

I've read somewhere about chameleoning as INTPs and I would say I do it to everyone I meet. I let them initiate conversation, and before opening, I see what their boundaries are and then respond in a similar way that they do, that way they like me, I feel comfortable not having to guess if they...

A week before I hit kindergarten, my dad asked me if I was excited to go to school, and all I could say was "I hate school!" and even though I have always been good at it without even trying, I still absolutely hate the "system" of it and that it's jut something that "we're supposed to do." I...

I have not read all the thread, but I am currently in the same situation. I am constantly worrying and fearing failure, therefore I won't even try. I am always thinking of all the negative possibilities. My whole life I have kept everything bottled up from friends, family, and sometimes even...

I could see it being true. I am very against being told what to do, which is why religion is such a struggle. I totally support the principles behind religion, but I absolutely hate the fact that it's some guy telling me how to run my life, so I completely reject religion. Same with authority...

middle child of three. but i believe i was influenced to end up this way because my sister is four years older, and all my cousins are five, six, and seven years older. Then my little brother is seven years younger, and all my younger cousins are eight, nine, and ten years younger than me. So...

Well, I have drawn like, literally my whole life, and I have always been told I am naturally talented at it, because I have never had any formal art training but still have skills. And I have been into photography for the last five years, and am much more than just some kid who bought an...

I think there might be something to this. Because, I am still deeply thinking ALWAYS. But, when it comes to the expression aspect, or when I [try] to tell someone how I feel, there are no words that exist that could accurately describe how I truly feel. No matter how each and every person...

I have the exact same thing going on in my life. I graduated highschool in 2010, and ever since then I am no longer interested in those "bigger" questions. I have spent the last two years contemplating my future and my personal life. And they haven't exactly been positive things; I would say...

At first, when I started smoking, this was true. I was more open and friendly and ready to mingle. But, as the years went by and smoking became normal and routine, I would get high and go back to my INTP mentality. As the gateway drug, I agree it is very sad, and I admit it, that sometimes I...

I was "advanced" in elementary/middle school. By 7th grade I realized I could literally do nothing, skip homework, and play video games and still pull As and Bs. By the time I got to highschool, it was full blown half-assing and still pulling As and Bs. I did the same as many of you here: didn't...

I grew up very distant from my family, and have over the years even gone as far as to say I have no family, even though in the literal sense I do have a family. But I do not have a family connection, not even with my parents/siblings, let alone cousins and aunts etc. As a child, I was so used to...
