7 Things You Should Never Say to An INTP

[@mindscopechannel]

Did we miss anything on this list? Let us know!

[@alandrian]

yes you are missing something it has to do with the I in the Intp you just summarized it as being they are introverted it is much deeper than that But it is introverted thinking at the top which makes them more Introverted but does not = introverted

[@kutomi86]

You miss to talk about the cognitive functions -intj

[@kairemeriniit]

"But it is for public good" or "It is good for people." It might be, but the analysis behind those statements goes very far, and quickly stating these things make a lot of INTP's think they do not actually care, or they care about their feelings. On the last topic, we might be planning and planning, but when we see a good option, we make it quickly, for as P's we can be very spontaneous.

[@user-mh5be7rj5j]

You forgot to mention cognitive functions (except when you mentioned Extroverted iNtuition or Ne). Otherwise, it was somewhat accurate imo. -An INTP (Ti-Ne-Si-Fe).

[@BQENews]

Yes, you missed addressing the fact that Myers-Briggs types have no basis in experimental data, that the Jungian archetypes upon which they are based have both changed in meaning over the years and were fairly poor ways to evaluate people to begin with, that very few people in rigorous modern psychology research give much, if any, validity to them, and that alternate metrics, while still flawed, are generally considered to be at least more useful in practical trait psychology. Ans that's not even mentioning the influence of various flavors of neurodivergence. The point is, videos like this perpetuate the notion that these "types" are a valid and useful way to frame personality traits, which is just not the case according to almost anyone with professional experience in psychology or psychotherapy. Which makes it seem rather harmful to be promoting them without any disclaimer or advisement of the limitations and defects of this model.

Truth

[@Ghillied_Gator]

Have you tried asking 'Why?' to them? in my experience most of them became better on being a leader by telling them (or making themselves know they're being illogical) since Highschool... I did it because I like to see their face realizing their being an asshole leader/upper status and loosing some if their man's respect.

[@SilverSeleucid]

INTP's are very much fans of the line "respect is earned not given" often why im sure many of us are considered rebels and politically incorrect or trouble makers

[@ItApproaches]

Agree with all but the last bit. Reality is the way it is because it's that way. We look to UNDERSTAND what leads things to be the way they are, but no matter what it is you understand, the result is always that's the way it is. Humans don't control reality, we can't change it. That's ego at play. Everything goes exactly as it was always meant to. That doesn't mean we don't look into the HOW and WHY, but learning the how and why is only for our own understanding. Why is the sky blue? Ahh I see that's why. Nothing you can do with that information. Reality is reality. It's like learning how a magician does his tricks, we understand it, but doesn't mean we can change his tricks lol.

It's so hard though. Most people talk about what they ate or what they will eat for dinner. What movie they watched last night. So boring. At least that's my experience in England."Work experience" In general life I don't talk to people at all. Not interested in what they have to say.

Agree on the points. As an INTP when I get asked "how are you feeling?", "how was your weekend?" "how's everything?" my response will be "nothing much", "nothing special", "no special feelings", "ok" and in actual fact, I really think they sum up how I feel. But a lot of people will think I am being anti-social, aloof or don't wish to engage with them, when that's not really the case. 😂

True though and I usually find these questions annoying because how would I, for example, remember what I did in the weekend? And why would it matter? Plus even if I did remember they probably won't find it interesting 🧡 we could have an awkward conversation of me explaining my latest introverted endeavours and they could look at me like I'm crazy or uncomfortably pretend to care, or I could say "nothing much" and spare us both so we could talk about something else.

as a intp the only reason why i don't tell others about my feelings is because i would feel as if im a burden to them and i don't want to annoy someone with my problems

[@mindscopechannel]

You're definitely not alone in that. Based on what I can tell, most INTP's have the same or similar perspective

[@theSUICIDEfox]

Yes agreed. Also that the feeling I have may be so complex to explain it would take time and in most cases I'm not going to spend that long talking to this person. In that case small talk is actually fine.

[@TheFirstManticore]

Me too, often. But it's because I've learned that usually they don't WANT to know how I'm feeling, so it's better not to tell them. Just say "fine."

[@dfinlen]

I don't talk about feelings because I don't see value in it. I might talk about my feelings or share frustration to bonds with someone but when it's time to do work feelings are useless and a waste of time

[@G_Demolished]

I’ve told more than one person that condescension is more effective from above.

[@EMichaelBall]

Not always, at least for this INTP. I was once at a hardware store, and the cashier was very rude and condescending to me. I wasn’t upset about that, and I don’t think I would have been, anyway, but here, I was only confused about why my heart was levitating in _her_ presence in a way I haven’t felt before or since. I didn’t talk to her (past professional concepts), or ask her out, but I did think about it more than I normally would have, the feeling in my heart was so good. With her attitude, though, I couldn’t mentally mitigate the MeToo risk.

[@Spoonwood]

Why do you feel the need to tell me this?! OK, I laughed a lot at that.

[@kasehzulkifli7036]

as an intp person, i hate it when someone say "the past is the past" when I try to solve a problem that still has no specific conclusion . They even said i was being overeact or overthink 🙄

[@Kimh-sz4ux]

I kinda get what you mean. I, personally, think in this situation, yes, the past is in the past. But we learn from what went wrong in the past so we can avoid making that mistake again. But if we don’t know what went wrong how could we learn from it? How could we prevent it from happening again? We need to figure it out, to know the conclusion in order to do so.

[@FGP_Pro]

"the past is in the past" is a meaningless tautology. They just say it because they have nothing else to say and they don't want to think about the issue to come to a helpful statement. Saying you are overreacting or overthinking, is just changing the subject to you, rather than commenting on the issue, because, again, they have nothing to say about it, and don't want to think about it. It's ad hominem, logically speaking.

[@Spoonwood]

Generally, I hate it when someone says something like "you think too much" or "you're overthinking it." I mean, there does exist such a thing as reading into some writing when it's not there. But, to me that's more like a lack of thinking. And when people say something like "too long, didn't read", I more think something "you didn't care. You didn't look. You won't put in the effort."

[@ItApproaches]

I mean, yes the past is the past, even though technically the past and future don't actually exist as time doesn't actually exist. You can't change a former moment in reality, that's unarguable. However you can still look into it and analyze it so you can understand it so that if it comes back around in the current moment, you can solve it then.

[@ajax2521]

the “tell me how you’re feeling.” are just a big no no to me. I’d either respond “I don’t know” or “Give me time to think about it.”

[@chocobrowniewin]

Recently during the pandemic, they started the 'tell me how you are feeling' as a daily check-in. It caused so much anxiety in me that I was contemplating going full NC with everyone. I just had to tell my supervisor: 'Never ask me this question. If I need help, I will contact you; if not, assume I am fine.' This is logged in my permanent records. It's a non-negotiable. Now if I can tell other people not to ask me 'how are you?' even casually, I can save at least 30 minutes of extra productive time per day, which was used to calm myself after being interrogated.

[@Shades781]

As an INTP, this is pretty accurate.

[@mindscopechannel]

Im glad!

[@Ghillied_Gator]

as an INTP, 'How do you feel about the weather?' doesn't bother me that much, I percieve it as 'Oh, this person knows how to open a conversation, let's follow through'. I do hate small talks but small talks are needed in socializing, my friends always ask 'how do you do blank stares?' just because I prefer logic and still trying to learn about emotions (especially crushes due to it's annoyingness). and here's a tip to not be annoyed by those 7 things, just ask them 'why?' again and again until they found their illogical thoughts and tell them about your logic (I mostly used this in professional manner because it's pretty useless in mundane things except you like to explain things) and always avoid close-minded people because it's useless (I tried it with many types of people and most results in 'because it's what society wants'). Summary : - Those 7 things doesn't bother me that much because I see some value in them (especially because I like to explain things) - Tips on 'Because I said so' : Just ask 'why?' until they got confused or opening up to your logic Don't do it on close-minded people You may use it in professional manner but don't forget the context and situation

[@ahsetal75]

6:40 I had a coworker call me Miss Antisocial because I didn't talk to her. Not only did I already feel bad vibes from her but being described as "antisocial" REALLY gets under my skin. Being a psychology nerd, when I think of antisocial, I think of Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Richard Ramirez, etc. Asocial is often confused for antisocial.

[@lennartdahlback]

Some social people have no social skill. They're mostly ventilating and exercising their jaw.

[@Spoonwood]

I like this point a good bit. Just because someone doesn't want to partake in some social activity, that doesn't make them antisocial. Antisocial means someone is against society. For example, an anti-social person would be against dancing because people will do something together. An asocial won't want to go to your dance, because s/he has something else to do. Or maybe doesn't like loud music. Or doesn't like the association with drinking or drugs. And I think that leads to another point. Not all forms of social behavior are good. Being "pro-social" is not necessarily better than being asocial. After all, how many people have done bad things for themselves like drugs or gotten convinced to do a crime, because he believed his girlfriend would like him more attractive if he did that crime or because his buddy wanted that crime done? It's not exactly a small number, I think.

[@ErikAdalbertvanNagel]

Antisocial is more accurate if you think about it.

[@charlespackwood2055]

I don't think that INTPs lose energy in groups. It's that they are analyzing and thinking through the conversations taking place, and as a result they are forced to follow the many different perspectives being shared and, most either do not make sense or they have little to do with logic at all. In the first case, the INTP must use their minds to trace illogical thought processes of others, and in the case of scatterbrained people, it's like following spaghetti code. It would be like the tediousness of trying to do maintenance on computer code written by a monkey, a stoned dude or someone who wanted their code to be extremely difficult to understand... like naming a variable intNumDogs to hold the number of horses in North America. So it's extremely fatiguing for an INTP to follow such people and not feel like your mind was dragged through a sewer. I believe INTPs prefer to be around teams or individuals that have a sartorial elegance to their thoughts or who can cut through layers of complexity and bring forth brilliance in simple and concise terms. Like E = mc2.

[@EonMist]

For the record, there's no "right" version of any personality type behavior. The type itself might exhibit some of those, but if you're talking about people who identifies as this type, the possibilities for their behavior are endless. I actually saw a few logical flaws (well, according to my understanding and knowledge) in this video, which pissed me off a little Basically, having traits described in this video does not make anyone that has them 100% INTP, it's mainly an identity, not the actual personality itself, so your agreeableness and conscientiousness, and other dimensions may be wildly different.. As for example your neuroticism, it's different in every person and can change with time. To be honest, stuff that was said in this video applies to INFPs as well, except a few other parts that I won't mention here What makes me not consider this explanation is that it's not really accurate to me logically, but I appreciate the effort

[@jenmiranda13]

Reading the comments as a fellow INTP, I'm so happy that I've found my people 😭 1. Yep. I go by my own rules. 2. Also yes. I give blank stares and give brief answers to the stupid question. 3. Definitely. I'm not sharing my feelings because of those reasons. 4. I guess so. I don't remember doing that though. But then again, I haven't had the opportunity to do anything. 5. Yep. Kinda. I'm a bit more laid back for an INTP, so it doesn't matter. 6. Oh my goooooood, yes. This is why I'm a loner 😂 7. I'm an overthinker so naturally I can't do that. If I act on impulse, I'll start to overthink obsessively about that decision.

3:21 I never know how to answer how I was feeling HOWEVER do not discredit someone as an INTP just because they ask about your emotions. (Don't refute someones type without proper concern for having a discussion. Example "you're not an INTP 'insert angry words blah blah blah'" is bad and ignorant where as "I'm seeing more of an INFJ tendency in this right here, just what I'm observing" opens up for someone to say "Oh, interesting. I'll think about that." or "Yeah, I believe I developed my Ni due to circumstances in my job where it was more applicable than Ne but my brain still defaults to Ne first." They may just be trying out a new approach because socializing is really awkward and invalidating who they are just because they step out of their comfort zone in the pursuit of growth that would be a big fat checkmark for 'I don't want to waste my efforts on this' INTP HAVE Fe! How people feel does effect them but they wouldn't -lead- with how another is feeling. INTP has sub types just like every other type depending on what they choose to develop and ignore in their growth. Some INTP will realize that their weak spot in friendships is that they ignore talking about how the other is feeling and might say "You doing ok?" just to practice. Also as an INTP being accused on not caring about other people and getting in arguments, just because I didn't check in with my friends or considered feelings before information, got tiresome. Mental health issues due to isolation since I was before 10 didn't help but I'll spare those details. Also, online, I refused to use emoji for the longest time. I started using them because people would blow off at me for just explaining what I was analizing. So I started adding 😅 and such because my Ti + Ne realized that oh? when I do that people don't do that annoying thing where they take things personally and ignore every thing I said and intended to say die to their own disposition bias. Another thing is we protect and hide our emotions more than most of us care to realize or admit. So don't be surprised that we have emotions too that will manifest into frustration and sometimes self abuse (that we wont let people know about because they all say the same boring unhelpful things) So don't discredit an INTP if they show feelings and certainly do NOT expect them to show you emotions or emotional commitment because that raises red flags among is just outright uncomfortable. My sister would get pissed at me all the time for not being emotion-centric (she's ENFP) so I ended up not showing any emotion and just backing away from our relationship coldly. I explained my boundaries and they were ignored anyway so it's again our a way we protect out emotions that we are aware of which cause more complications than solutions.

Over my many years of being this type (68 of them, so far), I discovered that when I find myself thinking and thinking about a problem or situation (overthinking), what I really need are data - information. In general, the "thinking" part of solving a problem is very nearly instantaneous. Once that last bit of data comes along, the solution becomes obvious. I don't spend a lot of time thinking. I spend a lot of time researching, reading and studying. As with the rest of you, I have a high tolerance for ambiguity, but when it gets in the way of moving forward on a project or a problem, it's time for me to do some research, even if it leads to a wider array of possible solutions.

I think the small talk bit bears qualification. Depends on the pre-existing relationship with the small talker. Also, don’t use Snowden as an example. There are many INTPs that are career servants in the US Intelligence Community because they know those rules, understand them, and work diligently to enforce them for the public good. That’s not at all what buddy was doing.

[@Mrs.Patriot]

I am INTP, with high N, and the P almost off the chart. I always ask "why" which is frequently seen as challenging, but it's because I want to know the thinking so I can use it next time that situation comes up. Also, I don't usually share my feelings unless I really trust the other person, and I'm not the type who has to share my opinions all over the place.

[@GenXWitch67]

Omg, “that’s the way we’ve always done it”. Is one of my most hated phrases

[@user-mh5be7rj5j]

As an INTP (Ti-Ne-Si-Fe), you forgot to mention the cognitive functions besides the brief reference to Ne (Extroverted iNtuition). Still, it was somewhat accurate to me. When I hear because I said so, I instantly go to a sarcastic and mocking comment like, “Great reasoning.” It is irrational to me. People will also say, “You don’t need a reason,” which I know, but the reason would bring more understanding and be more helpful. Also, “It is what it is” implies that you aren’t going to try and change that, which is also irrational to me. In my old school, I would point out inconsistencies in rules, but they would say that, and I wouldn’t like it. I don’t care if that’s how it is, because it’s flawed, so we should fix it in my opinion.

[@americancapitalist9094]

The weather one makes me laugh because as a logician I use small talk as a way to shorten social interactions in the workplace.

[@ms.err0r530]

Add another saying: “because that is my truth “. Makes me damn right angry.

[@narsplace]

We only share feelings with friends because it takes is 20 minutes just to express how we feel. We don't say we are happy, we explain the logic and reasoning of why we are happy.

[@SuperSaiyanMaze]

8: "You didn't do this thing (when I di_)/you did this thing (when I didn't)!" Maybe it's just me, but being falsely accused of doing or not doing something really grinds my gears.

As an INTP I don’t mind small talk, but it’s super awkward and I am really bad at it.

[@ZTRCTGuy]

There isn't such a thing as the ''worlds smartest'' personality type. Now INTP's are likely to be intelligent, but MBTI doesn't differentiate on intelligence. Secondly, the I as a first letter means that your dominant function is introverted, but it doesn't necessarily mean they're socially introverted, these are two different things. Now with the INTP it's OFTEN true, but it's an important distinction.

[@xuli.7899]

I was distracted but I left the video on and my mind automatically decided to think about the school and its rules and that I could have screamed in the yard😂

[@ItApproaches]

Disagree with number 4: That's the way things are doesn't upset me, we seek truth, and ultimately everything is exactly as it is meant to be. No matter what we learn, no matter what subject we dig into, once we understand it, the result is always still, it's just the way it is and their is no changing that. How does the mind work? Oh that's how, well can't do anything with that knowledge, just gives us an understanding of what's going on, we can't change it. Why is the sky blue, oh that's why, okay, moving onto the next subject, why are most humans stupid? Oh thats why, okay, it's meant to be that way because X, Y and Z. So on.

[@user-vh1nh7mq6b]

Am I the only one fussing over people typing/writing the personal pronoun “I(i)” as a small letter. Like- “oh, (i’m) so confused, (i) don’t even know.” …why do people do this? WHY?!?

[@cowoverthemoo]

I can get emotional if u hurt me, im gonna try to understand why u hurt me. If i can not understand, im gonna get emotional. And flip..if u cannot explain or ignore why u hurt me why u don't know why u , "stole" "cheated" "lie" i will get upset..with u..extremely upset, I will.never speak to u again

[@miner4374]

Me being an intp watching this video carefully trying to find out what should people not say to me:

[@theprofessor3339]

Sick and tired of being totally unable to discuss any of my interests because of the willful ignorance of others. Family, friends, coworkers, I can't be myself around them. In fact, people often treat me like I am stupid or mentally ill simply because they have no understanding of what I'm talking about. Fucked up by making a joke during the solar flares at my job in a machine shop: "Remember guys, if our machines error out this week we can blame the sun" They all think I'm some crazy person that believes in magic or something because they don't know what solar flares are. Silly people, magic lies in the collapse of the wave function and it's potential interplay with consciousness If your most basic understanding is beyond the people around you it just leaves you feeling infuriated and lonely

[@simonebernacchia5724]

Uhhh ackchually...antisocial would mean we are psycopaths or sociopaths. INTPs are Asocial.

[@cowoverthemoo]

Extroverted people just can't accept that we have actually got things we like to do and people are our research not our entertainment, monkey see monkey do, most people use people like entertainment, I want research them lol I use music for entertainment and psychology and astrology anything I can find I will use. I trigger people or they tell me I blow their minds... lol. Well join the club u blow my mind and im trying to work everything out... go play i have things to do.

[@harrymu148]

I will only respect a rulebook if the rules were made in a sensible way.

[@Enjoymentboy]

I hate the "this is how we do it" answer when there is ZERO thought as to why it's done that way. I'm not going to do something a certain way simply because I'm told that's how it's done. I'll analyze it and if i find a better way of doing it I will, even if it causes problems for others. I'm not here for other people's benefit or pleasure. I also have no interest in socializing. My ex used to call me antisocial and I tried to explain that i have nothing against socializing but it's that i don't NEED it. I then told her that the best conversations I've ever had are with myself when I'm alone so why would i ruin a good thing by bringing someone dumb into it. She didn't get that i was referring to her.

[@htasul]

Genuinely, I get angry thinking about hypothetical situations where people tell me 'that's just the way it is'

[@TTBOn00bKiLleR]

i actually love talking about the wheather, you don't, because it won't go the way you think it will.

[@ItApproaches]

I'm not sure I can agree with the being super picky with clothing. We don't care what people think about us, I just wear what I wear. There's nothing to over analyse about fashion, as fashion is an extroverted area. As long as what I'm wearing is clean and comfortable it's good enough. What I wear is small potatoes. Sure to a degree it would differ, say if you have a job interview then some thought would go into it. Though we would logically think it's stupid to hire someone based on the clothing they were. And we see it as pointless hoops to jump through. But if it's "asking out a girl" we aren't going to construct some fake image of ourself to to it through OMG WHAT DO I WEAR!

tbh, I disagree about number 2. I like being asked generic stuff like 'hows the weather' because I'm usually the only one who actually gives a detailed and genuine response, which then leads into further conversation.

[@giefan748]

[@acntbdon-ew4bk]

What "overanalyzing" or "overthinking"!? We are not idiots who can't understand that time, resource, and thinking power is finite(tho it does seem like unlimited to us as we enjoy thinking so much), and that there are priorities in life at times. Obviously, in simplified generalization, we will classify things into "needing", or "not-needing" a full analysis, and "tbd," and then prioritize based on circumstance, importance, urgency, time needed, our interest/passion at the moment, etc. The process to filter which matter we dwell on could get complicated in real life and depends on individuals, but I believe that we do always aim to be selective instead of trying to be thorough on everything(after all, we tend look at forest instead of trees).

[@bytehead904]

Yeah, I'll add something. Don't lie to us. I'm a walking lie detector. On the "How are you feeling?", with our Fe, it should be pretty obvious if you're being observant. My ISTP wife didn't understand that, and I didn't have to ask her, as her Fe showed me quite well. Although since I'm now a "mature" INTP, I have little problem verbalizing it at this point.

[@Green3ry]

im an intp and small talk doesn't even bother me. i mean sure its pointless and all but its just part of the motions, you know? look at school for example, i mean it sucks but i cant even bring myself to mind it anymore. i just go through those motions.
