i often feel i can't cope with even simple tasks. like taking a key to unlock a door i will doubt my ability to use a key and will worry. work just even simple schoolwork i am scared of not because of difficulty, just an unexplainable fear of it.

erm...lots of Self-Pity....

(i am known not as Eccentric-Weird like some in school but Depressed-Weird, dammit)

I often wonder how many people who score INTP are really other types who are just depressed. Think about it, if you were ESFJ and depressed, you would probably see yourself as cold and distant, very unconfident and unsure of yourself and indecisive, and of course withdrawn from the world and inside your head more than aware of your surroundings. I'm not trying to imply any one person here is, but I do often think this way of myself.

This happened to me before I realized that I was more likely of the ENTP temperament; withdrawing always makes me feel worse. I'm a reserved extrovert though, so I can see how I would get the confusion (without the Jungian functions) off the bat. It would be helpful to note though, that none of the online tests are the actual MBTI test. They're MBTI-ish/ modelled after MBTI, so it's quite possible that a lot of people on here and elsewhere are mistyped. I think it's been pointed out numerous times here that the emotional state one is in affects your responses, and similarly your typing.

It doesn't matter. Putting yourself out there here gives you a chance to evaluate your logic and thought process, and pluck some new ideas you wouldn't otherwise get from a more 'supportive' environment.
