I’m an INTP, and I absolutely loathe talking about feelings. But I really like figuring out why I feel what I feel. I’ve never had a meltdown, and I think that’s why. When I feel strongly enough about something, I have to know WHY. Why do I care about x thing so much, that it affects me. And after I figure it out, everything is okay again. So, I think my problem is that I try to overanalyze and rationalize my emotions instead of just... feeling them.

[@tesswinker2482]

Talking about feelings makes you vulnerable. (INTP)

[@spiderzombie4278]

Same! But I found that while analyzing everything you think and feel makes it easy to get through life, it also makes it boring. Emotions are what make living life so colorful. So even though it feels childish to me, I've been allowing myself to sit with my emotions for longer rather than just rationalizing and moving on. We're kind of lucky in a way, because I think it's a lot easier to learn to allow emotion into your logic compared to learning how to bring logic into your emotions, like the introverted feelers.

We feel deeply, so we can often share deeply with those close to us.. but at least for myself, the depth of emotion I share is directly proportional to the depth of connection I have to the person, or at least want to have lol. And we share it to connect with someone, or to get our burden eased because we can't carry any more, or something along those lines. As opposed to how FJ was describing the extroverted feelers sharing their emotions in order to determine whether they should be feeling that in the first place, and to influence the feelings of everyone else

[@fishnewt1331]

As an INFJ myself, I can confirm what Anisa says. It’s our empathic nature, as in our ability to relate to other people’s emotions. We hate how we felt during hard times, so we avoid the conflict of making other’s sad or angry. Even when they deserve it, it is never vindicating to affect them negatively because we have at least an understanding of what they are feeling, which causes us to relate to it ourselves. So we spread the happier vibes and we try to make things easier for others, even going so far as to “fix” or “improve” others. Not out of arrogance, but out of anxiety. Hope that makes sense.

@@hyruleanate Not sure if I am INTJ with all them online test take, it is easy to mistype (it says INTJ, 4w5, ILI, 458). When I was dealing with an emotion first I tried to shove it aside, that didn't work. Then I started looking for ways to block them because my all attention from the external environment got cut off. I was in my head daily for hours trying to figure out what went wrong or why did it happen then it went from that into me getting anxious about my future but when I spoke to my bro about them it got easier. Fun fact I went deep into Personality and trying to know my type to some obsessive length (info over indulgence) because things weren't going as planned in real life and at least knowing my thinking pattern is something that should help me find where I could optimize in myself and I thought maybe it could explain somethings to me like wtf my memory is crappy and why I am always looking for things that I use daily like my glasses. But it made things worst because most sources say self typing in not really accurate due to biases and also the stereotypes didn't really suit me at all.

Also, figuring out people's intentions, biases, and motivation are good ways to turn your emotions into logic. This way, it is easy to find solutions to either cut toxic out people from your life or to keep people who are "rude" but ultimately want the best for you.

[@jhemp]

@@GeekNewz Easy, the future doesn't exist if the present doesn't happen. All things I do now are definitely considering how/where I'll be later, but it's important to take in information NOW to be processed later. My feelings are unclear to me, I studied how others feel in situations to rationalize what it is that I feel in a given moment. Emotion disrupts logical decision making, so it is best to be aware of emotions and how they impact people, then realize that whatever I feel is irrelevant in solving problems. There will be time to reflect on how I feel after the problems are handled. I have already spent a lot of time generating a moral framework and understanding where I stand with my values that I am constantly trying to test new situations with and revise when needed so that my feelings aren't a surprise and can be put away and dealt with later. Ideally the rationalization will explain away a lot of the delusions that resulted in my emotion in the first place.

[@Oracle3_OnlyFacts]

Yes it is INTP problem and huge one. What you said ”I suppress my emotions but still feel them” I have that same problem and imo it is because we INTPs dont want to give energy/pay too much attention into emotions because it most likely is away from thinking something that were more intrested into. Thats also why i think some people think that misfit INTPs are INFPs in their head but we actually feel so much but dont want to seem as ”loser” coz were already nerdy.

[@laineym515]

As an INFJ I can soothe everyone else's emotions and make them feel better in a really easy and quick fashion. After feeling every emotion they are feeling 10 fold I am left with a sea of emotions with no idea what my emotion is if any other than overwhelmed and sea sick from riding everyone else's. I can be near someone and feel their energy. Someone is annoyed at the grocery store I now feel annoyed even though I have no reason to. Someone then walks by sad. Now add sad to the list. Meanwhile I don't want to be there in the first place for this very reason so I'm feeling anxiety but with the cocktail of emotions running through me subconsciously I don't even realize what I am feeling until I can leave the store and talk about it with my boyfriend on the way home. My INFP boyfriend on the other hand has been in his head the whole time with his emotions which I also feel very strongly but can't gauge who his emotion is directed at so I then add in worry I've upset him with my own subconscious actions without my knowledge. We get along amazingly but in a social setting are usual dealing with things so differently we are constantly like are you ok and don't get to what really bothered us until I have to discuss my feelings so I can understand them and move on. By the time we get home and away from everyone we are great again. Stong FE and strong FI exploding at the same moment is the most intense feeling I've ever experienced. At least with my INFJ son or my ENFJ daughter we are throwing everything out there all at the same time and then come out the other side like oh now I get it. You get to the point much faster and everyone got a chance to work it out so no one feels left out. FI is so hard to wrap my mind around sometimes. Lol

[@laineym515]

@hina mars it's not terrifying not knowing what your emotion is. It's terrifying having to feel everyone else's even though you are having a great day and now your emotionally exhausted for no reason other than being exposed to everyone else's feelings. We talk about our feelings to get to the bottom of it because our subconscious feels all this and we can only process it through consciously discussing it. The weird thing is we have to get out of our head to understand. Usually the other person is just along for the ride. We don't need them to figure it out for us. We need them to listen so we can experience everything in the conversation then it will be like a little light bulb goes off and it's like ohhhh now I get it now I feel. They may never say anything just listen. We can get past it faster by verbally expressing it so we are not stuck inside with so many distracting thoughts. I think INFJ's just have to understand why then we can let it go. That's why we ask other people so many questing if we want to understand what makes them tick. We don't mean to be annoying. We just have to be able to understand their point of view.

That and just bad dancing- foot tapping, arm wiggling, flailing about- followed by more purposeful dancing- are supposed to be good for getting at the root of even heavy traumas and certainly mild angst.

In my case, it seems like my emotions have a time delay, and even after they hit I can never put them into words, and I can't cry on my own either. I can only partially understand them if I try to analyze them from outside clues, but it doesn't seem like I can truly share them with anyone, so I end up talking and moping over facts when someone asks about my feelings

[@smackyasilly]

As an ENFP, I find people can easily talk to me about their emotions, and while I usually always engage, I almost never talk about my own emotions. It’s just much harder to get out there bc I feel like I need to process them myself, like no one will understand if I tried to let the emotional diarrhea out. Not even I understand my emotions sometimes, lol. When I’m feeling strongly about things (usually negative) I have a million thoughts bouncing around in my mind, and sometimes I feel like I’ll go crazy if I don’t let them out. So naturally instead of talking about it, I now I just keep a stress journal where I scribble down everything I’m feeling/thinking about, and it’s all so messy and random and heavy that I literally never read it ever again. After that’s done, I’m good as new (-:

Hey idk if you'll see this comment but as an ENFP myself, you're not the only one with these emotions. Believe you me, that's what I 1st thought until i looked them up. Heck it's much more common than you think, hell i expressed my emotions to my therapist and my brother (intj) and not only did it helps out but It's easier to deal with them.

[@lmcg9022]

I’m an ISTP and this is how I can best describe emotions from my angle. I know I feel emotions, but I struggle to pinpoint how I am feeling at any point. Like right now, I feel stressed because I have a lot of work to do, but I’m content and I’m happy but I’m not happy. So when somebody, like my husband, wants to talk about feelings I just dismiss it because I don’t really know and I can’t really be bothered to figure it out. I do know that if people try to pull emotions from me I will shut down and seem like I don’t care, and sometimes I don’t care. Like therapy for example, there’s not a chance I’m gonna open up. Another thing is when I find people over emotional, I struggle to empathise if I think they are overreacting and in general find people that I see as over emotional annoying. So yet again I will shut down and come across cold.

pretty much the same as us INTPs i guess. except I as an INTPs do care about my emotions, but in a sense that I ask why am I feeling this to really know what I'm actually feeling. What just happened before this thing started and is it supposed to be like that? And then let it roll on for a few minutes and I'd end up questioning if the random nature of quantum physics is the cause of the unpredictability of human brains and if it actually predetermines anything. To me the uncertainty principle is what gives us free will. Our brains are consisted of neurons, which uses charged atoms to send signal. The atoms themselves can have quantum properties. Maybe an atom can be both positively and negatively charged, and so we have mini quantum computer in our brains. And the collapse of the atom's wave function determines our decision. Now the collapse can either be controlled by us, or the collapse can in itself be the proof of predetermination, in a sense that whichever state the atom collapsed into has been determined by a divine power, in the end giving us the illusion of free will. oops i got distracted

I created half a sun ☀️ because in my home with my DV EX we had a stain glass sun. The half sun represented so much; one the fact it was half not while- with all the separation that was taking place in my life, two it was my creation we had an option to make our own or copy a template, which represents me rewriting my story or at least that chapter of my life, and third it was an exit from thinking about my issues. It honestly was one of the most therapeutic things I did during that time. As an ENFP: I couldn’t even express my emotions to others like I normally could. It was too much and too deep of wounds.

True ENTP here

[@malicorne8201]

As an INTP and an autistic person I would recommend getting interested in human psychology and sociology. Just use analysis, memory and ability to learn to understand how humans think and function. Learn how the brain works, how emotions work on the neurological level, where they come from in different people and how they affect them. It usually comes down to the basic psychological needs and how different people try to meet them. On deeper levels Myers-brigg is a good tool to understand It. When you learn It on a one-person level You can add social dynamics on both big and small scale and soon It all will start to fit. It's true that It seems like a lot of work but It's interesting and for INTP's It's what matters, I think. Being undiagnosed as autistic most of my life and trying to adapt It was a natural way of masking developed since childhood but now It's both a tool and an interest to me. Just remember to keep in mind that other people have different priorities and ways of interacting with the world and processing information, It's the key to communication. Even If You don't want to fit in anymore, It's good to understand yourself and surroundings. I think that an INTP can adapt their introverted thinking to meet the role of extroverted and introverted feeling, at least when interacting with people they know well and to deal with their own emotions, which to most of us seems to be the priority considering our lowered social needs and a preferance to interact with smaller groups of people. Not always, but very often. Also, accept Your own emotions and a fact that they affect You. They do. You are a human. It's an objective fact. Deal with It. ☕

As an INTJ I think, that I just know a few go to emotions very well... some that are fairly simple to detect, like excitement and anger. But others are complicated, like general sadness or lingering frustration for example. I don't like how thinking them through slows me down... and the result is not important most of the time anyway, 'cause they'll pass after a while... and I've got things to do. And I don't know if it's just me, but I don't mind shoving some feelings away. It is not unhealthy if you genuinely don't care. It's just practical.

[@maturitycomeswithexperienc3388]

I hope this message is received. As a seemingly more mature INTJ, emotions need to be addressed, or they are going to arrive unexpectedly. In order to gain control of them, you must feel them. It is arduous and tiring process, but necessary.

[@mercyamparo561]

As an INTJ, I can confirm this. Emotions are okay until they slow us down so shoving them away or removing ourselves from situations that trigger them seems practical. However as time goes by, you realize that when you shove them away, they don't really go away, they are still there. What's worse is that they resurface in the ugliest forms, so yeah addressing them is really a must to increase our efficiency.

[@CarlosCruz-bu1kd]

As an INTJ, I agree with the above comments. As someone who did the exact same thing, believe me they will come out. The worst part is, you won’t get to decide when or where this outburst happens. You’re a human, not a robot. Conversely, if you deflect processing emotions on a whim for the sake of practicality, then how hard could it be? I usually try to pinpoint what I’m feeling, like the internal sensation. I take time to really feel the emotion and put it into words to the best of my ability. Then I think about why I could be feeling that way. After that it’s up to you with what you do next. This way, you can be productive in life whilst not embodying a ticking emotional bomb. 🎉💙

Because then I have to pay more attention to what others are feeling ABOUT my feelings instead of just paying attention to my own feelings, if that makes sense.

ENTP here and do the same, problem with the way it was presented on this video, is that functions never work in a vacuum, they work in an axis. Fe works in tandem with Ti, and if you have both functions in the middle, they will be working together almost all the time, in real time. So both of us, who have Fe and Ti in the middle. We will constantly process Fe through Ti, and only Fe doms will work the way Frank described it. That is why IxFJs are usually described as logical feelers, because yes you prefer feeling over thinking, but not by much. And same goes for ExTPs. Now it is different for IxTjs and ExFPs, because Te and Fi works differently, they will still work in tandem with one another, but in their case the anchor for emotional processing will be Fi, while for us it will be Ti. Because even when the extroverted function is the dominant, in its axis the introverted one will work as the anchor for introspection. So for you, even if you have Fe higher than Ti in your stack, Ti is still your anchor to process things introspectively.

i express my thoughts too slowly for people, finally it's better with my husband...but he will still interject where he thinks i'm going with the conversation, i used to overly defend the gaslighting statement, i'm older now and i calmly say, you interrupted, you made up my position, can i finish. I don't know how to articulate my thoughts faster, I will comment on both sides, and the first side is what my extrovert husband and son launch from.

ISFP here, I love storytelling so explaining my emotions in a relatable, funny, and accurate way is really appealing to me. Using it as a way to connect and putting on a show helps me get out of any spirals and view my emotions in a more positive lens. Even if it all happens in my brain lol. There’s an imaginary therapist living rent free in my head. 10/10 would recommend for fellow broke ppl.

INTP. Inferior function Fe was like Lure during my pre teen and teen years. I read a lot of books to study human foibles (Maugham is my fave) and different emotional situations. I was clueless so I had to make effort to understand it or express it. Now nearing retirement age i still mainly use entertainment and book to let go of emotion. It is hard for me to cry unless i was watching someone else’s drama. The most frustrating for having inferior Fe is in relationship area. Romantic love is chaotic and hard to handle because it creates roller coaster that Overwhelms me, puts me off balance. It results in erratic behavior or mood swing thus scares the potential mate or new mate. He would question my suitability as a long term partner. Then if he sticks around, he’d be puzzled by my normal cool and detached behavior once the honeymoon phase is over. It wasnt that i was out of love, it was just my Fe is retreated to its usual place. So often he’d leave, too. Yeah i am still single and havent dated in 10 years. It is not a sad situation. At the end of the day, i still prefer to study emotion than to be in emotion. Dealing with people is an exhausting business for an INTP.

[@danielamartorano7247]

i’m scared. i’ve never related to something so much in my entire life. I’m ALWAYS looking for things to describe and relate myself (ps: i’m a ENTP) and when i find it it’s just mind blowing. Thank you so much for this videos, they’re really helping me out on knowing myself. ps pt2: Through the intire video i felt the urge to run and tell my friend about how relatable this was for me... and yes, i was blaming myself through the intire feeling.

[@okeily]

This was actually very helpful to me, James. As an ENTP, I do notice that I understand my feelings better once I speak about them with a friend/friends. 🙏 Thanks for coming through!

[@ThePotterWasp]

INTP here... This is how I process my emotions: Writing- When I feel down or weird, I start writing what I'm thinking at the time. It gives me the opportunity to process everything from every angle and then I come up with a conclusion, why am I feeling like this, how to make it stop and do I want to make it stop, etc. Thinking it over- It's the same as writing but more scattered. Because I can't make sense of anything when I'm feeling emotional. But I kind of try to distance myself from those feelings and think rationally. Ex. One time I was getting really angry for no reason and snapped at my mom and immediately regretted doing so. So I stopped for a minute and realised that I was very very hungry at the time and that was affecting my emotions... Got a snack and apologized while explaining why I was angry and problem solved 😅 But sometimes I get stumped at things. Like this one time I failed to get the required score for my college entrance exam and realised I won't be going to my dream college, I started looking for different career opportunities instead of looking at different colleges offering the same course and was very depressed 😔

[@latifoljic]

As an ENTP, I feel like I don't understand my feelings until they come out in my behavior, and then after they do, I look back on the situation and empathize with my past self and figure myself out as if I was a different person. This lets me use Fe and Ne to figure out myself in the same way I do with other people, and then process that and figure out what to do with it.

[@dazzle261]

ISTP, how I would process emotions would be I simply just do it in private. I do not allow my emotions to be seen by any other human being that knows me off screen.

as an istp we have strong emotions but we don't react when/how people expect and it upsets them. we can appear cold and apathetic and quite frankly sometimes we are, but we do care. generally only for a small circle of people

[@lmcg9022]

Exactly right. I do have strong emotions, but if you try to provoke them or pull them from me you won’t get the reaction you want because I won’t allow myself to give you want you want. If that makes sense? If somebody wants me to feel sorry, or guilty (and I might feel exactly that way, often I don’t though) you can guarantee I will be deliberately stone cold. That being said, with a very select few, four people I can think of from the top of my head, I care so much about them.

[@CMDRZero01]

I had to explain that to my now fiance one. "I'm standing here inside a gated ring. Outside this ring are multiple expanding rings each with their own gates. I control how close people can get and the closer you get the more I care. So when I tell you you're by my side, understand that I have blood family at least 4 rings out and you're closer."

[@magnesiumtablets8193]

This fits me to a T. I bottle everything inside in the moment and then I bawl my eyes out when I'm alone. No wonder people can't tell whether I care about them or not, because I always try to stay logical and emotionless within the moment.

12:17 as an ENFJ who is also a 5 on the enneagram (aka the INTJ equivalent of the enneagram), I find that this is one of the reasons I've struggled a lot with the personality I have because I am not very open about my emotions at all, I mostly express them with as little effort as I can manage and hardly EVER talk about them. I also love people and get super lonely but because of the two-faced personality I have I haven't managed to find a healthy balance whatsoever also due to my health problems. Man this comment turned out longer than I thought, maybe I do sometimes talk about my emotions but only in spaces I feel are very safe and where I can be understood, like here on this channel

[@shiningoutlight]

I enjoy your offerings. I am an INTP and I do not like to externally express my feelings, or talk about them. When I was younger I didn't know how to deal with feelings but as I have matured I have realized that I can process my feelings and give myself permission to feel, realizing that feelings are transitory and they are not necessarily who I am but what I'm experiencing. I've also realized that I I'm not the slave to my feelings and I do not have to being miserable or upset or overly excited. It is important for me to experience but to remember that I am not that experience but I am experiencing that experience and observing that experience and using that experience to understand more about life as a human. It has really helped me to realize this, and also to realize this in relating to others. My daughter is an ENFJ and she loves to talk about her feelings. At first this was uncomfortable to me and I tried to help her resolve the situation for which she was upset. But I realized that she needed to express her feelings to come to resolution,....after experiencing resistance to my desire to help her resolve the situation. What she needed was to talk and to have me listen and validate her, as a person, who was experiencing internal conflict. This involves me going to and accessing emotions on what I call a heart level, that also integrated, let's say, thinking, with feeling on the Heart level,.... I was then willing to hear her without expressing my own opinions, hearing and validating her in dealing with and processing her inner conflict. The thing I love about being an INTP at this point in life, is that I can, through a maturing process, and learning and observing, now integrate feelings with an expanded rational and logical approach, that is more inclusive. By observing, I can understand better and come to some resolution. Instead of painful,....now my experiences are more interesting and intriguing in learning how to synthesize and integrate this Human Experience with my tendency to analyze and be more like a computer. People felt that I was cold and rejecting of their feelings. Yes, I felt misunderstood also. As I realized that I could use my T faculty to understand, others, and myself, I could thus integrate T and F, using T in it's ability to synthesize.

INTJ Here Processing emotions is something I don't do that often. They're a waste of time. Let's focus on the more important things. But in all seriousness ... I've found myself more satisfied when I did things that were tiring but productive rather than enjoyable but useless stuff. And I'm satisfied in sadness. I'm satisfied in isolation. I'm unsatisfied in happiness. Its weird. Its like negative emotions give me fulfillment. Let's goooo we have better things to do. Ignoring emotions is the best thing imo

You can't just drop out.....blah blah me ( still ) : I feel what I FEEL , let me process this and go with flow (This is real tho ! Before depression , I loved everything and was kinda extroverted and now I don't like anything and haven't gone out of my room since a week or so )

[@KatErina-ii6ru]

I was in college twice and changed my major a lot. It took a long time to get through college but I did it. The secret for INFP is to do it for yourself. If you do it for anyone else you’ll lose interest or probably just quit all together. INFP when they learn to love themselves unconditionally and develop acceptance of themselves and having a better and healthy relationship with yourself and putting yourself first, this is when INFP superpowers start to show up. 😉 Start to think about the relationships in your life and if they’re healthy, codependent, or toxic. When you start to put yourself first and realize your hopes and dreams and interests and hobbies are JUST as important as anyone else’s, it helps clear the way for you to pursue them. It’s totally ok if you don’t know what they are yet.. you’ll have a lot, later. INFP are kinda like mystical unicorns. They are the deepest of feelers and live their life according to those feelings. Because of the deep feelings we often don’t understand ourselves sometimes and it’s easy to get sad or depressed and get stuck. But seriously start taking small steps doing things that make you feel positive.. listening to happier music instead of sad music. Going outside for a hike and get some sunshine. Play with your pet. Eat a tasty snack. Look at artwork, and get off your phone. It will help. Feel better soon. Me, INFP

I'm an INTP. I have an internet bestfriend who is an ISTP, and we both talk about our feelings and emotions to each other, since we don't really show it around the everyday people in our lives like our families and friends. we always understood each other so well and can relate to one another on a different level. I thought we were just meant to be friends or something lol, but turns out, it has something to do with how our personality types process and deal with emotions! that's really cool to know. and I agree with the part where he said we need to talk it out with somebody to be able to really figure it out. not only that but it's also healthier that way than letting it all pile up like I've been doing for the last 16 years. I'm lucky that I finally found someone I can vent to without any hesitations tho, and I hope everyone, especially those with TP types, can find their own too.
