Being around other people that don't fit in doesn't mean you will fit in any better... We are all just here not fitting in with each other. That is just how we roll.

As INTPs we are internal thinkers and external feelers. Trying to organize this stuff in some system that tries to explain things as us being both internal and external at everything just seems kindof silly to me. Of course everyone thinks internally from time to time and everyone thinks...

That just seems silly to me. :elephant: Kindof like that elephant... But not exactly like that elephant...

Up until I was in college I was always the 'quiet kid' in school that would sit by himself and not really talk to people a lot. Over the past 8 years I have been trying to slowly get more and more social, but only over the last 4 have I really had any success, but I am still far from where I...

Are you just making this up now?

Marceline episodes are some of my favorite, I liked seeing Marceline connect with the Ice King as well as when she interacted with Peebles. What Was Lost is still my favorite episode ever. I would like to see Bubblegum and Marceline in the same episode again, and maybe Marceline and Flame...

I am an INTP, and back in the days when I was a cashier during high school and college, I not only didn't have any problems at it, but I was the best damn cashiers in the place. If you are extreamly anti-social, just realize that being so is illogical to your goal of making money and get over...

I am only slightly more introverted than extroverted at the moment. I used to be totally anti-social, but now I have woked my way up to being able to talk to just about anyone. I still hate being in social gatherings and trying to meet new people when I am not at work. I feel very odd talking...

Not any business I have been a part of, the people who get promoted are the ones that can show that they are dominant (subconsciously) not the ones that can answer all the questions but are socially akward. If logic tells me I should be an alpha, then an alpha I will become. Though I have...

Any tips for me, other than the elephants? I crave knowledge and understanding, and the harder something is to figure out, the more I like doing it.

I was not deffensive before, I was just explaining further into my thought process to see if I could get an interesting response. I like to clarify, that is just how I roll. But ironically, even though my first comment wasn't deffensive, this comment here is in fact 100% deffensive... lol

Well, I want to be able to master eye contact and body language, not just be proficient at it, so it may take a lot longer than I am hoping. It is not a matter of me doubting if I can do it, but how long it will take me.

I want a hug, but no one will hug me... :auburn:

If you are making eye contact when they are speaking, but not when you are speaking, you are sending subconscious body language that is telling them that what they have to say is more immportant and they are more dominant than you. I would suggest working on that in any sort of business...

I would rather someone ask me to repeat myself then to have them not catch what I said and then go screw something up because they didn't understand... At least if they are asking you to repeat yourself they probably actually care a little bit about what you had to say.

Well, I was just throwing in some food for thought, so he could consider it and decide what type he thinks he is. I have zero interest in typing this guy, only in throwing out random bits of logic and seeing how the peices fall. I just find people interesting and like to know what they are...

Blasphemy! Don't doubt my Ti just because I have strong Fe. My Ti has only become stronger from fighting off my wild Fe over the years. I am and always will be a thinker first.

I have gotten a lot more capable of doing these so called 'social things' because I have realized the logical advantage that it gives me over people who are not able to be sociable and meet new people that could potentially help make your life better. I also am incredibly curious. The same way...

So, who else besides me wants to see something good happen to the Ice King next season? I just got done watching 'I Remember You' which touches on the same backstory you get from 'Holly Jolly Secrets' part 1 and 2. I almost feel sorry for the crazy old man.

Ok, I was just curious ;) INTPs are usually not all that big on formalities or following social guidlines unless there is a logical advantage of doing so. Just something for you to think about in your journey to understanding you own mind.

I have taken maybe 8 tests, and got 7 INTPs and 1 ENTP. I however spent the good part of a week studying over the different types and compareing them to my own thought process to eventually come to the conclusion that I am going to beleive the results I was given. Even when I first came to...

Your lack or curiosity for an INTP intrigues me.

I wonder if the stress on my internal thinking not being able to balance my introverted tendencies with my extroverted needs is causing my Si and Fe to become more dominant at times. Isn't it great to be just extraverted enough to be lonely but still too introverted to do anything about it.

Have any of you INTPs on here ever expereinced a "need to be needed"? I think that is a ISFJ trait, but ISFJs do in fact have the same functions as us just in a mixed up order, so could there be a connection to that? Then again, maybe I am just crazy, I wouldn't doubt that.

I couldn't tell you why other personality types tend to like to make excessive small talk, I just know as an INTP it is purely a strategic decision to keep myself open to new people and to continue an open correspondence with people I already know in order to not miss out on possible...

Well, if you want to avoid small talk, then you are just limiting the number of people who will trust you enough to enter into a true important conversation. I for one would rather make small talk with people, make them feel comfortable around me, and then when they have something immportant...

If I am tired then I sleep...

She sounds pretty damn crazy to me, and that is my kind of girl ;) Girls are never mean to me though, I make them chase me. Girls are only mean to guys that they see as needy and not manly enough to walk away, if you do in fact walk away the girl will usually come running after you. You have...

A lot of Introverted Thinkers seem to just want to wait for the other person to stop talking so they can say whatever more immportant thing they want to talk about. I think it is quite arrogant to be that way. Almost everyone out there has something valuable that you can learn from them if you...

You cut my quote short, "They ARE NOT judging you... about the topics being spoke" I was refering to the fact that they are judging you on one thing as opposed to on the other, and not that they are in any way witholding judgment of you. All human interaction is in fact a game of judging at...

I only feel my underdeveloped Fe rage when I can't internally figure out something that is immportant to me. The only time I have ever let external sources anger me, is when a promise is made and they are an immportant part of a system and plan that I have created, and them breaking that...

Also, is she single? You should give me her phone number... :phear: (I am such a creeper at times, lol)

Well in that case, the variables that I was given were totally wrong. She has to be an INTP then, just an INTP that has learned to be likeable in social situations, but still doesn't enjoy them (like myself). Social interaction can be a learned trait even if you are in face an introvert by...

I am surrounded by ENTPs in my daily life, and they don't normally get bored of people or not want to be around people. The cereal thing and the 3 mile run thing are totally Se traits.

From what you are saying I have come to a pretty certain conclusion of ISTP.

You really need to state whatever overall idea you are going with at the begining of a story like this, because it starts out almost like just ramblings inside someones head with no direction in which they are going. Know what you are trying to convey and try to stick close to that with what...

That sounds very ENTP to me, I have never really cared one bit if people listen to my logic or not, me knowing that my logic is in fact correct is enough.

Don't judge me, you're not my real dad, I don't care what you have to say!

Have sex with as many people as you like, I won't judge. But if you are not honest about it then you are a horrible person.

So, do you think an INTP would really find such formalities neccessary?

Peoples opinions on the internets... Especially blogs and Facebook rants about politics Twitter

Strangely enough, I don't think I have ever felt as sorry for a character on any sort of TV show than I did for Finn at the end of that episode. For some reason I feel like I can totally relate to Finn and his futile search for love, lol. The flame princess episodes have been my favorite...

I honestly don't consider the FORD technique to be small talk, because it is getting way too much into finding out information about people, you REALLY don't want it to seem like an interview or something. People are judging you on how you react to talking about nothing, not about how well you...

The real goal of small talk is to be talking about as little substance as possible and just try to create a fun exchange. You are not trying to get anywhere with your words, you are just trying to show that you are a safe, approachable person to talk to and that you are fun and interesting to...

This is my favorite show in a very long time. Finn is going to get his heart broken by Flame Princess though... Sigh... Such is life.

That is very close to my attitude, I hate the idea of going to a club or a crowded party, I am in fact still predominantly an introvert. I also still want to be home alone 5 nights out of the week. But I am just extroverted enough, that if I don't have any friends to hang out with on the other...

So as a result of not being able to deal with the stress of figuring out how to balance both being introverted but also meeting new people because I am lonely, my internal thought function basically broke down. So then my external feelings rose up in all their powerful but immature glory and...

I have gotten to the point where I am only a moderate introvert. The problem with that however is that I have come to learn what loneliness is, and my internal thinking process doesn't quite know how to respond and fix that problem... hmmm...

I look at my own life from a safe distance, so I don't get to emotionally involved even with my own life, so to me it is just a scientific experement of sorts. Proving that my hypothesis is either totally crazy or brilliant, one or the other. I honestly have become close to an ENTP over...
