"Stop letting society make you feel that you're broken just because feeling isn't your predominant judging tool" Thank you for this statement Ms. Kristin -INTP

[@MarcusCaddock]

As an INTJ, I would like to congratulate the hypothetical INTP on realizing that they are not broken and never were. It takes time to accept that types like ours, which fade into the background for observation (and plotting), will not mimic the rest of the sensers and feelers, nor should we feel obligated to do so. I embraced the concept myself when I was around 14, although the struggle to get other people to understand this is an ongoing battle. Pro tip: If you switch phraseology from "I think" to "I feel" but still communicate the exact same concept, people feel more comfortable and assume you are making decisions with more emotion even though you are using logic and facts.

[@entropy8634]

Lucky you, you got access to your Fi easily. I “feel” like the deep internalized notion that we’re broken or incomplete, and must mimic feelers and sensors won’t really be undone by a single phrase. We can build defenses mechanisms to deny it, but it’s still going to be there. No matter how well we can logic our way out, our Fe is part of us, whispering it’s sweet words and pressuring us to fit in. It’s paradoxical, really. The more we deny our Fe, the less complete we “feel”. The more we empower our Fe, the less “ourselves” we feel.

[@YourNickIsTaken]

I hate when people say "I feel" and adding something that is not a feeling. Feelings are made so no one can argue with those. That is their nature. Stating that " I feel like {random thoughts here}" is really just suggestive communication saying: "you are not allowed to argue with the opinion of someone else that I'm mirroring to you right now". Be proud of your wide open way of thinking and embrace this power of yours. If you want fake feelings because of society - mimic feelings and use that as you own wall to hide. Betraying thoughts is like betraying something from your core.

[@cringe_mistress]

I'm an INTP and I HAD goals growing up. But when I actually grew up, all this goals were for the me from the past, which is a completely different person. They have nothing to do with the person I became. All my life I felt safe because I had goals and plans for my future, unlike many others my age, by now that I'm actually here, they all are wrong and done more harm. So no, having goals is not a great advice. But to understand what you REALLY want to do in life, not in fantasy, is very important and takes much time.

[@adityasubhedar9556]

As a younger INTP, I am interested to know how you navigate through life. Do you just live in the moment and not care about / don't have any long term goals or you have an idea of what you want to achieve but you don't know exactly how to achieve it, so you do the things that are generally considered as "good" keep living.

[@cringe_mistress]

@@adityasubhedar9556 I'm afraid I'm not the best person to go for advice to, because right now I am in a very bad place mentally, but I have some bits that might be useful. Don't ignore physical problems. Like minor health problems that don't require immediate solution or something broken in the house, that you can live without, but it would still be nice to have it working. I have a tendency to ignore Se like it won't eventually bite me in the ass, so if you have a similar problem, don't let it grow too big and overwhelming. The more things pile up, the more intimidating and seemingly unsolvable they become. But I also have ADHD and currently am in autistic burnout, so that might be not an INTP thing. I hope you will be able to find what really makes your life worth living. That's the key, if your job feels good and you actually like at least some part of what you're doing, it won't drain as much energy and you (probably) won't go into a burnout. About navigating… even if you don't know where to go, go away from things, people and places that make you feel bad. You can figure it out as you go, but sticking with what doesn't work in fear of having nothing to replace it with will slowly kill you. Uncertainty will help a right idea to be born, and sticking to your Si habits and routines that don't really work for you anymore will only hold you back. In conclusion: don't be afraid to ditch things that you realised weren't right for you, even if you at the moment don't know what to do after. I don't know how mature you are in that area, but that's a very INTP advice. Feelings matter. You can include them INTO your logical system. Remember that humans are animals, and evolution doesn't make what will be the most logically thinking, it kills what isn't able to survive effectively. Logical thinking isn't absolutely necessary for survival and reproduction, so not everyone has it. "But they SHOULD" argument doesn't work, because that's not how world works, you can't change that, you have to work around. Feelings have a use too. Be connected to your own feelings, so they won't bite you in the ass when you're not expecting. Learn how they work and use them - your own and other people's - take them into account. If your future goal (or an outline of what you want to do, that's better, make it flexible) won't be in harmony with your feelings, you're on the wrong path, you're bound to fail or become miserable. We value and prefer logical solutions, but in some situations a logical thing to do would be to solve it using feelings, or taking them into an account. For example, choosing a job: it's suitable for you logically from every aspect, but the boss is an idiot who makes everyone's life harder for no reason and uses annoyingly ineffective strategies and pressures you to use them too. Your feelings tell you that another month in this environment and you will snap, you will be feeling yourself even more miserable than now, and probably will finally yell at them. Your logic takes that information and draws a conclusion: if things continue to go as they are going now, you simply won't have the energy to do not only work-related stuff, but other spheres of your life with suffer the damage from it. Plus, why work ineffectively, if that aggravates you and lowers your productivity significantly, when you can seek another option. So you seek another option and now work for another company with a more effective and less toxic boss, and how you're feeling immediately improves, and because of that, not only your productivity goes up, but your satisfaction from all the work you did, too. Fe is not a liability, it's a tool. As any tool, it can be mastered through theory AND practice. You will see the use of it and all the benefits as compared to not using it. Seriously, it's like magic. Plus, as I said earlier, sometimes the logical thing to do would be to do not a logical thing. Your task at hand is to convince person, for example, not "teach" them how to think and see logic, so use YOUR logic and figure out what would work on this specific person, not what should work on someone like you. It's FAR more effective than to go familiar route. Also, remember that what you are able to compartmentalize or don't even see as a problem, other people may view as very important issue or even a deal-breaker. And they are not wrong for that, they just have different priorities in life, that only partially influenced by their conscious decisions. Like, we didn't just one day decided to prioritize logic in our decision making, it came naturally, and they just can't one day decide and adopt a whole another way of thinking. Be patient and understanding, and it will significantly improve your communication skills, and with them your results. As Fe can work as a tool for Ti needs, Ti can be used as a tool to satisfy Fe. We NEED connection, we need understanding from other people, we need that stupid harmony in the group, or we will go insane trying to bottle up a very important need, that is necessary for living a good, satisfying life. Okay, most of what I wrote is not a direct answer to your question (because I don't have one), but in my opinion it's an important information to help you navigate through life. I don't know how many of that you already have figured out on your own (and if you did, I'm proud of you), so some of it may sound obvious, but I hope I was able to help you in some way. Take care.

[@Ichthyodactyl]

@@adityasubhedar9556 I can't speak on behalf of OP but from an older INTP who still has not yet found their place in the world, my advice would be to cherish any passions you have and pursue any long-term goals you manage to make for yourself doggedly. Getting older and not having anything to show for it because you just floated through the currents of life sucks. The world at large doesn't care how much you know about random topics or how many hobbies you have, they care what you've accomplished, what marketable skills you have, so try to focus on achieving something, anything.

I don't think I can explain it in a way that makes sense without over-explaining lol. To put it simply, it came after my conclusion of spiritual evil as a real thing, a supernatural thing. I had been doing a great amount of research on many things that lead me to that point. I was noticing patterns (big shock right lol) in history, media, etc. where it was undeniable to me that there is a concerted effort to keep humanity divided and stupid, at the very least (and by a specific group of people). When I picked up a Bible for the first time, what I was reading was lining up with the symbolism and themes I saw on the world stage. I felt energy and light as things started to click. I hold a fairly extensive philosophy around the nature of sin and evil, but I'll cut it short. Though I still consider myself Christian, I am undergoing another theological restructuring that's kind of pulling the rug out from under me... again. But that's the beauty of Ti-Ne, right? 😅must always adjust accordingly to new information, even if it hurts... so long as it makes the most sense.

​@@elenawhite88You talk about a specific group of people. Did you continue to believe that after you were saved? That is dangerous. The forces of hell are trying to destroy every person from the inside. At particular times they may be having more success with one group than another, and that group may become responsible for many of the problems of the world at that time (e.g, the Germans 80 years ago), but there's no single group that's always in that position, and thinking there is makes us vulnerable to thinking we are immune.

I'm either INTP or ENTP, and I've actually been thinking about this lately (although more in the 'if I could go back knowing what I know now' vein). I would tell myself that we're far too independent for our own good and that social crap actually does have an impact on your life, whether you want to engage with it or not. I would tell myself to spend my high school years practicing my social skills so that I'd have a good grip on them in college. You don't have to be a social butterfly, but being socially confident and knowing how to handle/approach things is important. Also, go shopping and actually try on lots of different clothes so that you learn your lines. You only have to figure out the silhouettes that work best on you once. They don't change. People judge you based on what you wear, whether you care about fashion or not, they do. You can't opt out of other people's dumb opinions on crap that doesn't actually matter. It is what it is. I would also tell myself to find a few women I admire in college and pour into those relationships because the people you're around rub off on you. I would also tell myself that your personality isn't fixed and me believing I'm introverted and such-and-such way does nothing positive. It just makes you double down on weird things. We're all a lot more flexible than we believe.

This was really good "tips" for an INTP. Working on emotions is pouring into relationships and growing/pushing past the uncomfortable stuff instead of letting it isolate an INTP more.

[@dazzlebreak4458]

I would say: When trying new things and meeting new people there will be a lot of times when it won't work. Sometimes you can do everything by the book and fail, other times you will do everything wrong and things will work out. People will do, say and assume all kinds of things, so have a sense of humour and learn not to care when you don't need to. Also, don't be jealous or put other people on a pedestal - everyone has strengths and weaknesses. You are free to make your own journey and there is value in taking the longer road.

[@huntedsnark7507]

All true! The trick -- probably for everyone, but particularly a young INTP -- is to find balance between the push through and the self care. It can be so hard to know where to set the goal posts for yourself with the social/people stuff. Especially if you're at the far end of the introvert scale (by ordinary concepts not just 'type'). We definitely *don't* need to be held to Feeler/extravert standards, but we do need to find a way to just *be* in this big people-y world of ours (not to mention that we often develop an impulse to help later on too -- damn Fe!). And that can be a really slow growth for us. If we force it, bad/stressy/overwhelming experiences can really get in the way. hard to stuff that into a 5 minute comedy vid. 😉

INTP: I have always made my own fun, from backyard games to toys like Construx (more advanced Lego-type building materials), then designing my own video game levels on paper. I am now learning to program my own games in Godot... based on a trilogy of science fantasy books that I'm writing...

[@Ichthyodactyl]

I paid for a Godot course so I could learn it. Can't find the motivation to complete it. I have a dozen game design documents half-finished for projects that will likely never see the light of day. I will cross my fingers for the completion of your projects and live vicariously through them. :P

[@NameNotAChannel]

@@Ichthyodactyl My main problem is my day job. I work 6hrs a day doing work that prevents me from writing things down, while my brain is storming with ideas. I consistently lose those ideas to the ether by the time I get home and have a chance to write things down. My work schedule is a pain as well, as I'm a night owl... for 30+ years going to bed around 1am, and waking around 6am... now working 4am-10am... Once I DO get home, I sleep, then I get up and have to run errands, make dinner, and possibly relax/write/code... but generally, I don't have enough time to get into a zone of creativity. When I go to work, I actively avoid thinking about my books/games, because I don't want to lose good ideas. (I once thought an entire scene through, which brought me to tears from the events unfolding (I am not one to cry over much, so this was notable and different), and by the time I got home, I had lost the wording and emotional impact of the event... I don't want that to happen again.) So, this has been a personal passion project since I was in high school... and I'm nearly 48 now...

I really like the subtle one off remarks that aren't expanded upon further, like the "agnositc phase".

I'm very happy I made that development

[@DerMichael]

I went from Atheism to Agnosticism and back to Atheism, mostly because I discovered that there are different type of Atheism, including Agnostic Atheism. >> Atheist criticism of agnosticism says that the unprovability of a god's existence does not imply an equal probability of either possibility.[24] Australian philosopher J.J.C. Smart argues that "sometimes a person who is really an atheist may describe herself, even passionately, as an agnostic because of unreasonable generalized philosophical skepticism which would preclude us from saying that we know anything whatever, except perhaps the truths of mathematics and formal logic."

[@cerebrummaximus3762]

Have you checked out Eastern Orthodoxy? It has that sense of mystery and lore that an INTP's Ti->Ne->Si adores. It's also mainly practiced in Greece and elsewhere in South-Eastern Europe (as well as Eastnrn Europe, including Ukraine and Russia), which is a history and language nerd's buffet! Also, because Orthodox theology is so deeply founded in the East, when speaking about theology, one uses terms from Greek, Old Church Slavonic, etc which is the most INTP thing ever, randomly using words from niche languages to describe concepts that are hard to describe in English, at least via single word, niche INTP effectively, I love that! Orthodoxy also founds itself on mystery and tradition, which is a super petri dish for an INTP's Si, and also deep theology lore to feed your Ne. Besides the deep lore, if you are still new to philosophy, there is a flexibility for concepts for which may interest an INTP, but bare no reason to have dogma, so regardless of whether you are YEC or are happy in (theistic) evolution waters, Orthodoxy welcomes. I am biased towards Orthodoxy as one, of course, but if as an INTP, I have chosen this path, then there must be hope for an INTP's insatiable thirst for knowledge, but also a spot to know where you are to quench one's interest in philosophy and hypothetical. Religion is not a myth, as common misconception states. In fact Christianity, as well as Islam, Hinduism and other religions have always promoted research and science, for Christians merely view science as the study of God's Creation. Even, the Big Bang Theory and Genetics were proposed by a priest and clergy as a Christian alternative for what is mainstream. I am here if you have questions, much love to all my fellow INTPs :)

Thank you Kristin for giving me the hint about agnosticism. I didnt know about it but I guess rhis is exactly what Im going through rn.

There is no good and evil and even the most extreme of views are multi facetted. So rn Im learning about Fuzzy logic, the way computers can make sense of human views. Bc in fuzzy logic there are no hard yes/nos or right/wrongs. The truth can be between 0-100% And I guess this is also my current viewpoint about god and supernatural stuff. I just dont know the right answer. I guess there might be something supernatural we cant wrap our heads around, but especially for this reason Im not willing to point my finger on any religion and say: " They figured it out" On the other hand, Im also happy for everyone who found their inner peace by believing in God.

The advice I would give myself will be like study this in this year (I learnt so much I wouldn't change a thing), this year don't study this (it went to nowhere and wasn't live changing) and work instead, of course meet and get to know my future husband, tell me about 2 hobbies I enjoy thought the pass of years (so I can focus on them and hopefully be happier... and have higher skills? haha), and buy an apartment when the market is good (and some economy recommendations to investigate). Also, yes, don't be stressed about being shy and an introvert, because people love to talk and be with people that talk less, is polite and have a humble attitude, so just study psycology as a hobby (and other related stuff, I will give me a list) and chill. On the other hand, I would be worried about bad consequences altering time O.O and the imposibility of it.

[@farhankapadia6814]

I've certainly pondered the idea of my current self interacting with my past self. Wasn't exactly bitter and hated people like stereotypes may suggest for INTPs. But I was certainly socially awkward and shy. I would still encourage critical thinking and consider all the possibilities by having an open mind and expanding my horizons (keep working on my strengths with my top 2 functions as I was lowkey in a Ti-Si loop in the past without realising it but just wasn't always in a neurotic/depressed disposition) and more importantly, try talking to people more but at a steady pace until I get comfortable without necessarily having to be a social butterfly as it will go a long way. Even if I stumble along the way, its fine since the people I truly value will come after my teenage years. As well as emphasising that people are not exactly going to be harsh and judgemental as you catastrophise in your head. They're gonna be relatively fine as long as you're generally chill. I've always valued my close friendships but wasn't always comfortable talking to people outside my circle. And to just know that things will be alright and that I will get better and find more people who will truly accept me for who I am. Flaws and all. Literally took me doing a part-time retail job to be comfortable talking to people outside my comfort zone. And I would definitely advise my younger self to diet more at an earlier stage, get some skincare and update my fashion as it goes along way. Also found it funny with saying the ESFJ tip should be to get into theoretical physics. Which I do think is a valid point as I do find the shallow, unhealthy types uninteresting to talk to. Society values socialisation and emotion (which is fine) but can be too biased towards that. Making it tougher for us introverted intuitives to feel more comfortable socially speaking. Embrace abstract curiosity & critical thinking more. Assess the intentions and essence of the arguments better as opposed to whether something is PC or appropriate. There's certainly a balance to be had. Would make for a more holistic society. Instead of caring too much about trying to be "cool" or fitting in. Its superficial at the end of the day.

@@huntedsnark7507 ​ Until the bitter end. haha Heebie Jeebies, it's an honor! Great work! Smart, funny, and hopeful! One of my favorites! If you have the time, would be amazing getting any thoughts you had writing. And if not, really appreciate the reply and hope you have a wonderful weekend! I love cautionary tales because they explore different aspects both positives and negatives living in a poor direction illustrating the logical conclusion shooing away "yeah but what about this and this and...and that doesn't seem so hot but be that as it may, well, okay, did you try..umm... how about ok maybe but that doesn't apply to my specific circumstance...and, alright, fair enough..." but that can just leave audiences with a fear of doing wrong from the punishment that could result where it can be like someone telling us we have a lousy crutch that's about to fall apart and then we get rid of it, and then we're level crawling. But you helped give a hopeful alternative! For me, that's more constructive. I admire it! I think creators are scared to take that moral stance. So, like with cautionary tales, they avoid offering the better hopeful direction, and give the depth and complexity to the villains or anti-heroes so they can indirectly highlight the good....which could, unfortunately, result in people claiming the villains were "actually the real heroes" and embracing cynicism seeing heroes written so bland in comparison. Unless I misunderstood, this skit was taking a moral stance with the future version being a better version being kind, patient, and gentle recognizing the good in the younger self for a hopeful realistic trajectory. Additionally, I love practical effects and the one room-setting functions like an acoustic version of a song showing the strength of the work where, imo, it shows a confidence in acting, writing, and directing.

About the whole convergent evolution thing though, there's actually some interesting parallels between fairytales about fairies and human diseases, in particular look up changelings. Essentially the fairytale idea (of changelings) was that fairies or trolls or other magical creatures would steal human babies (sometimes adult too but more rarely) and change their shape to look human like, to tell them apart you would use things like bodymarks ( if you had a genetic mutation that gave you some weird appendix 6 fibgers etc. You would likely be considered a fairy ) or simply by looking at their behaviour, (like voracious appetite, or whej alone jumping, dancing, singing bells, or lack of emotions, rigidness, funky way of moving etc.), after you found out your son was a changeling a couple of things usually happened either the family killed him, because it was needier than other childrens, usually by first trying to make it confess with either violence or by seeing if it gets weirded out by things like eggshell soup and makes a specific comment about it. Once adult fairies/changelings usually did two things either forget they are fairies and live normal lives like they were human or they would simoly go back to their fairy village never to be seen again. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changeling This is the folklore of changelings, very brutal like many folklores but even more when we look at it with modern eyes i think the horror shines more because you realize that what they called changelings were probably just people with genetic mutations, or other mental conditions like autism, from a survival point of view it makes kind of sense one more mouth to feed is a lot especially if it is unable to reliably produce, this folklore probably helped people develop a sort of en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capgras_delusion which helped the mind to suffer less.
