I feel like I have to do something creative but I don't know what to do. Its like I forgot something and remembering it is really annoying. I dont know what I am good at so I guess I am asking that questions. Do INTPs have this problem or am I just having creativity block. It seem strange that I cannot find something to do and its been this way my whole life. I want to do something really cool but don't know what it is yet.

I have that problem so often - really wanting to do something or make something but having no idea what. I think it's hyperactivity. Don't know what to do about, I'd smoke and sing along to really fast music before I got my meds.

You could cover your wall with different coloured sticky notes and make a cyborg or some shit.

Are you being an INTPerfectionist?

My favourite creative outlet is sand sculpture - I go to the beach and start piling up sand until the shape suggests something to me (usually a dog, horse or dragon; my adult son also does this and usually produces cars, boats or spacecraft). Then I shape it and fix it and smooth it for however many hours I have until the tide takes it all away.
Creativity expressed, perfectionism avoided!

I also have a 'busy box' for when I get that creative itch but can't be bothered finding a beach. It's got kiddy paints and glitters and coloured pencils and whiteboard markers etc. Something will appeal to me, even if it's just swirling colour on a page until it gets too soggy to continue.

I do also 'get creative' in more practical ways that come with the pressure to actually finish something, but sometimes it's the creating that's more important than the producing, if you know what I mean.

Aren't you an ENFJ, OP?

I know the feeling anyways. Very annoying and frustrating indeed. I'd say: Go try and draw something, if you can't, well that's too bad. Go watch a movie and look up new music for inspiration!

Write a story (:

I think I have the opposite problem: I know what I want to create but I don't know how to make it.

Use a microphone to record yourself speaking single words, organizing them into different parts of speech and number of syllables. And then send the recordings to me. :kilroy:

Get a piece of paper and a pencil and draw your hand, melting.
