INTP's, things you hate

[bvanevery]

It may sound like a typical arrogant wannabe-intellectual thing, but I truly cannot stand when people persistently interview me about banalities and various everyday details. I dont really know why, but It corrodes me psycholgically and depletes my emotional energy extremely fast.

I don't believe in "interviewing" people. I know that people do it because it's a social script, they are nervous, and they lack other material to offer another person as an ice breaker. I would hazard a guess that the invocation of these social scripts stress you out, because frankly, the scripts exist to stress people out. "What is your occupation?" often equates to "Are you participating in society in the productive manner that people are expected to participate in? Are you adequate in this regard?" People who utter the scripts may or may not intend it that way, but the social control of the "common" positioning of people within the scripts, is pervasive.

I am not very good at coming up with questions worth asking another person I've just met, but if people are going in the scripting direction, I will ask instead "What is your rhyme or reason?" If that confuses them, I explain that I like to make such questions as open ended as possible. Whatever that person feels like relating, as opposed to categories that box us and define us.

Quintuple-posting is pretty high up there.

I'm ok with it right now, but I'm not looking forward to the endgame. I think it is entirely sad, with no redeeming aspect at all.

Interviews, Crowds, High Expectations, Judgements, Loud People, Rap, most Opera, most country music is too whiney sounding, tinny sounding speakers (I'm very much an audiophile). Too much socializing, manipulators, people that say the same thing over and over, repetitive preacher crap, narcissists, bossy types, busy bodies. Being put on the spot and talking too much. Also, so many of religious fanatics are fanatic wing nuts with nothing else on their minds. You aren't supposed to talk about the same thing all the time or force it on others. Its like control is good when its self directed and its disgusting when its other directed.

I agree with this, as the patterns in my life seem that way.
I find we have lots in common in several regards, albeit different genders, different cultural background, dif age, and dif beliefs.
