Hi there

[Celia]

So, as is probably pretty obvious by the title and location of this thread, I'm new here, and I figured I needed to make some kind of intro post before anything else. I just found this forum a few days ago, and it already seems like a pretty awesome place to spend time. I'm very interested in meeting other INTPs, as I'm really curious about just how like minded we are, like how many of my interests are shared by most INTPs and how many are just my own individual thing.
Anyways, I think I'm supposed to put some info about myself in here or something. So, I'm still pretty young, (In highschool) and I've found that I'm not nearly as sociable as a lot of the other people there. I do have a few close friends, who I really enjoy spending time with, but most of my friends from school are not very important to me, though I do like them. I know that sounds a bit mean, but I just don't regard very many of my friends as much more than someone to talk to to pass the time. This means that I tend to spend a lot of my free time reading, (usually fantasy novels) instead of talking like everyone else seems to like to do. Anyways, just to make sure I don't ramble, I'll stop here. I'm happy to have found this forum, and interested to learn things about INTPs!

I was like that when I was your age, I didn't care much for social conversations and such... But over the years the isolation ended up driving me crazy and not I am a sad robot with multiple personalitites. My shadow external feelings came out in a total rage because they had been sufocated for soo long.

Welcome, it is a paradox that our similarities, many as they may be, have caused each to evolve into a unique individual in a world that values conformity. Many of us have embraced this weirdness of ours, others are in the process of doing so. All that to say, we argue alot...

Heh, well, I'm not actually quite as antisocial as I suppose I sounded. I do enjoy socializing with some of my close friends, and I do that quite a lot, it's just that most people that I end up being near aren't the sort of people I like to have conversations with. Not much they say amuses me, and most of their conversations have no intellectual interest to me. But with my closer friends I talk quite a bit, and enjoy socializing with them. So I'm not a complete loner, I just don't make an effort to socialize with people I don't think I can maintain a good conversation with.

Hello back, and welcome!

If I may get straight to the point, how exactly did you find this place/ become interested in joining?

I found it when I was looking for a decent Kinsey Scale test (Even though I already knew the answer) and I saw this page in the Google search results. I'm an INTP, and I thought it was interesting that an INTP forum existed, so I checked this place out. I joined because I thought a lot of the threads here were really interesting, and I'm curious about just how the personality type defines/affects me, and I thought that this place seemed like a nice place to learn about myself and people like me.

Sounds exactly like me.

I joined yesterday, and I was kind of amazed at how quickly I've grown to like the forum. So from one redshirt to another, welcome!
