Hiya!
Found out a week or so ago that I'm an INTP. I'm terrified of being a narcissist, so I've been pretty skeptical that I truly belong to this type. I've been classed as INFP and ENTP on tests, though INTP most often, and it's probably the type I identify most with. Would having these kind of doubts push me further into INTP zone?
Anyway, to stop myself getting too caught up in that I'll just assume to myself that I am INTP.
I'm 22 years old, Australian, and a Psychology student. I'm incredibly lazy and a chronic procrastinator, which has resulted in me going from the dux of my high school (having to do no work, finishing assignments moments before they're due, etc.) to scrapping through university with measly passes and credits. Before doing Psych I studied journalism, international studies and then architecture, each a different university.
I'm having a harder and harder time with life in general. I've never been in a relationship, despite numerous opportunities with people I've considered friendly and intelligent - I hate conflict and don't want to know how I'd react to having to break up with someone (they would end up annoying me somehow), so I just don't get close to people in that way. I rely too heavily on marijuana, even though I'm certain it's adding to a pretty debilitating mental disorder that's been weighing me down the past 20 months. I constantly feel trapped, a possible reason for continuously switching universities and cities, and have a persistent desire to drop everything and live alone somewhere remote where I can spend my days painting and not worrying about what the neighbours are thinking. I've read that being unusually reclusive is a trait of INTPs, does anyone else have the whole avoidant thing going strong?
I'm partly here to ween myself away from trashy blogs and social networking sites, while hopefully learning a few things from all you INTPs. If anyone has some kind of sure way to determine whether or not someone is INTP, or if anyone can pick up anything from this post as to whether I am what I think I am, you should test me or tell me. Put my doubting mind to rest!
