INTPs are awesome for conversation and humor. Seriously, some of the most memorable discussions were with INTPs. & I hated when Fi users that are ignorant would blindly disregard their potential. I wish INTPs would be more optimistic about life. I relate to their hopelessness sometimes, but it's never enough of a reason to just give up on life. -ENFJ

[@HodsBroo]

@@sosinati3358 it's hard to explain why life should be optimistic & something to look forward to, when it's already reinforced for why it's not worth being optimistic about. All I can say is I find optimism in life by looking for it even when it isn't self evident. That's the point. In regards to your comment about Fe users, I personally hold the pov that Ti users, specifically ISTP and INTP are actually ENFJ and ESFJ when around others. Perhaps their Fe is even more prominent in those types than their extroverted counterparts, it's just covered by a Ti Ego.

[@DSesignD]

ENFJ's are the soulmates. Source: I married one. She's hooked on my "applied insanity" approach (in her view, to me it's just logic).

[@dxfifa]

It is the Fi/Te but it's actually closed minded Te users that do it to us. Usually STJs. Fe judgers might annoy me with their shutting you down if you are a nuisance but they actually listen and try to make sense of things. Te judgers do not give a single shit what you are saying if it's not agreed with by them and especially the group. They also take it so personally when you question them, especially when they see themselves as above you in a hidden hierarchy, because it's like you are breaking the rules and being disrespectful. The Ti hero or parent finds it incredibly disrespectful on the other hand to not offer rebuttal if they are wrong, and even more so to listen to the higher status person rather than the more correct message An example would be in a sports team where Te/Fi hierarchy says after the coaches and captain, the senior players and then the better players are higher up. If you are a bad player who is the most knowledgeable on the team and talk in the team talk none of them will respect you, and the senior player can literally say something 90% overlapping right afterwards and they will all agree.

[@cross-eyedmary6619]

@@dxfifaSO accurate about Te judgers. As an INTP I am resolved to never work for an ISTJ ever again. I want to like them but they don’t want to like me, and if you accidentally highlight a weakness of theirs they will discard dispassionately. I’ve never met anyone so comfortable with being wrong-which again is surprising and frustrating because they aren’t stupid and I WANT to like them. Instead I hate them. lol

We can get along with Fi users, just not high Fi users like NFP and SFP. They tend to hate and bully us for no reasons. We get along well with low Fi users like ENTJ and INTJ. My best friend is actually an ENTJ woman while I'm mainly ostracized by most women as a female INTP.

This is a great video man. I’m a female intp, I agree with everything you said, I’ve been through the sad phase of an intp, I literally got rid of all the wanting to be liked and wanting to be accepted by people. It’s the most pitiful years to look back at. It took me 8 long years to get the confidence I have today, to not have crippling anxiety everywhere I go for every word I say. It only took a few existential crises and life changing decisions to get there, all worth it. I made it my goal for me to just do everything that is out of my comfort zone. I highly recommend other intps to do this, it’s an important part for growth, of mindset, inner confidence and self discipline.

Right on! Great video. I lost my INTP because she "couldn't" come out of the cave. I waited for years and years, and then finally I left her. I don't know if it's consistent across the entire type, but for the two INTPs that were in my life, they were both absolutely abysmal at 1) making and then confidently finalizing a decision, and then, 2) taking action on it. INTPs: your "research gathering" phase will never end... you will never gather enough evidence to make you fully confident in your choice. Instead, gather enough information to make a strong decision, and then, as Chase says, take a risk. Take action. Otherwise, it is really sad to watch. And frankly, it really hurts some of us who were brave enough to invest in you.

[@Kelektroid]

I've been madly in love with an INTP man who, due to gut issues and anxiety, didn't want to meet me face to face...three years of waiting while only having texting contact. We seemed made for each other. Similar values and life goals. He said he wanted to marry me....but didn't want to meet me, not even facetime me. This triggered major trust issues in me and also my needs weren't met at all. I don't believe that digital communication is complete communication and authenticity is skewered at best. Red flags for everyone else, but it's not easy for infjs to find someone they can flow with and be themselves with....so I stuck with him ignoring my very real needs for real life contact. Also I knew that if only I could get to him I could drag him out of his dark hole..... in the end he started becoming more and more paranoid and critical to me. Calling me a covert narcissist and such. Really hurtful to me because I have been with a very real narcissist for years and this really impacted me in all the typical ways. Now after three years of doing my best to stay by his side I'm just a lone wolf again.... 😢 ....I have to work to not reach out again because I know that this whole situation was incredibly unfair. Anyways I have returned to not waiting for those I would love to have by my side, instead I'm travelling in my campervan to all the beautiful places I wanted to visit with him. Me and my dog, feeling brave, but crying every day that I cannot share it with someone special.

True, I think most of INTP figure these things out on their own, just do not have the guts to face them and do something.

[@DreamxCreature]

Oh shit. Hits hard. I think because Fi is last in our stack we can be out of touch with making actual decisions and taking actual actions regarding what we deeply value. The times in life when I've been most proud and when people have responded to me in the most positive way is when I've been taking part in outside world activities that have to do with my values and accomplishing things that align with those values- for example going out and doing photography, going to art gallery openings, submitting my writing for publication, making music etc rather than just knowing in an abstract way that I value the arts. The way I was able to switch into that mode was thinking about what I want in an ideal partner and Then trying to become that myself. For some reason it's easier to get in touch with what I really want by looking at it through that lens, of what I desire in another, I wonder why that works. Still a work in progress. It's an objectively better reality to be that way, but also easy to slip back into our lair of just being being alone, consuming information. Overriding programming is tough. How to Keep that switch mode on is what I need to figure out.

[@DreamxCreature]

Maybe the inferior function is actually our gateway, recognizing our Fe desire to connect with another deeply and tapping into that I think is what allows access to the other 'hidden' functions. Like you said the obstacle is the way. I think for INTP the obstacle is that Fe barrier and we need to really dive into that in order to reach Fi. I think a different aspect of all of this that's very important is that when we finally get to Fi, being extremely authentic and therefore feel extremely vulnerable, if we don't get that Fe equal exchange or connection we're ultimately seeking we can snap back out of all of that back to our barrier in self preservation and can feel extreme shame for being authentic (which feels like a negative "exposing" of our selves) with someone else, like we've done something very wrong. It sucks. So then it's back to the inferior Fe barrier of I don't know if it's safe to really connect with others or be authentic and vulnerable. I think that's why we also sometimes use a vicarious method to meet our desire for raw intensity, like listening to very complex or brutal music, reading grotesque stories, appreciation for dark art, creating a video game avatar that aligns with our truest self etc, all of that is us lingering on the threshold of what is raw and authentic and dangerous to us yet safely removed on some level.

[@brsubject4051]

I'm going to try that, to look at what I seek in others and try to become that myself. If anyone can figure it out, its INTPs! I'm also trying to view social interaction in an "acts of service" format. For example, I don't think about how the conversation will go or if it's interesting, but rather, focus on the other person, making them feel comfortable, at ease, nurtured. I'm so bad at all of it, but being bad at it kind of makes me laugh.

[@Samwise108]

Fellow INTPs, I want to know if you have had a similar struggle to this one, and if you've been able to overcome it: I developed very bad habits of laziness as a child/teen. I was smart and I understood things quickly, which led to boredom, so I ended up becoming content with just the knowledge that I "could" do something, and not always feeling the need to actually do it. With homework for instance, I would go straight to the hardest problems at the end of the assignment and work them out, and if I could do this, I would ignore all the rest. This led to fairly bad grades due to so many incomplete homework assignments. But I still passed, and in my mind I had learned the material, so the grades (mostly C's with an occasional B or A if the class had little homework) didn't matter to me. As a side note, when I was part of a group project or in any position where others were actually relying on me, I worked very hard and completed everything to the best of my ability. I was obligated to others but not to myself because of Fe inferior and Fi demon apathy, respectively. BUT, I finished high school years ago (and college regretfully), and now this problem of not actually putting in the work and allowing myself to be lazy has become a major obstacle in the path to achieving my personal goals. And it's a multifaceted problem - the habits of diligence and the mental reward system for hard work are not there for me. I was only ever able to work hard for others, not myself. I have been a high performer at all my jobs due to external expectations, but I've hated these jobs and it has made me miserable. Recently I've been inspired to work on a personal project that I dream of making into a career someday, but I can't maintain the motivation. It is extremely difficult and complex, but I know I can do it, but I've never had to work this hard for something for only my own benefit. My vice of apathy keeps saying F*** it, because my life is not bad. I am happily married and raising a daughter, I have good friends, I own a home, two cars, and have fun money and a savings, but at the same time a part of me is miserable. The part of me that knows I have never scratched the surface of my potential, and the only thing in my way is myself and my own ego. Every time I try to work on my project, I become very distracted and end up either succumbing to fast hit dopamine activities, or doing supplementary tasks that are somewhat related to my main project, so I can rationalize them as being helpful despite not really making any forward progress. Part of me deep down also knows that undertaking this project could shatter my ego, because if I really do put maximum effort into this and I still fail, my self identity as someone who is capable of great things will be ruined. But at this point the gap between my perceived/expected potential and my actual achieved reality has grown so large, it is splitting me apart. I've tried mental loopholes such as saying my family needs me to do this, or I need to make my parents proud, or even that I owe it to my own ISFP Superego, but because my life is actually ok, those attempts fall apart. I am not at rock bottom. But I can't put myself at rock bottom because my family relies on my income, and my personal project will take at least a couple years to be profitable, if it even ever is. I've also tried "taking small steps," developing a routine, "just manning up and doing it," imagining my future self, watching self-help and motivational videos, basically all techniques, but none stick. I end up in a rut of consumption and can't make the transition to production. Sorry for the long post, but I have been struggling with this for almost 2 years now, and I have never gotten it off my chest. For anyone who made it all the way through, thank you. Advice or comments are appreciated.

[@dogdonut3]

I have no advice, but can relate. I'm not even an intp, but most likely it's the ne that we share and that I relate to. It's really difficult to have this issue! I relate it to low self esteem for me. The fear of success as much as the fear of failure. It can stop me in my tracks and allow no progress. All I can offer is that when I follow the passion (how much I enjoy working on the project, getting my brain really into the puzzle aspect of it) and I focus on that, I have much better luck at actually working on the project. Mistake I make: making the project punitive...like I gotta do it or I'm a bad person. Just increases my anxiety. Also if I start to find myself sitting and thinking about a project but not doing. That's not helpful. In those moments I tempt myself (lol) by saying, "Let's just go take a look at how that might REALLY work". Getting myself to stop mulling it over and put hands on the thing really helps me. Ok, I guess I gave advice anyway... I hope maybe some will help.

Turned 23 yesterday and was thinking how much time I wasted people-pleasing, for what, for a kind of love that I’ve likely been brain-washed to idolize? And if that endeavor is frustrated, my anger and anxiety pushes me into superego mode where I feel like a god, an artist and explorer in a world of freedom. I enjoy being in this mode, it makes me feel free and empowered. What is interesting is that according to this video it seems that in order to get other’s love you need to stop being reliant on / idolizing other’s love. I’m not even sure I want love from others anymore. It leaves you with a hollow feeling once you know they love you for this thing that you created. But what is other's approval/appreciation anyway?

This is the only personality type that I've found who will pull me out of my mind and into living in the moment. ISTPs get so confused over the INTP's anxieties. The ISTP made me feel irrational for the first time, which helped me look at my anxieties and see them more objectively, which helped to conquer them.

[@TailedThief]

That was the realest talk I ever found among all the INTP videos. Short and straight to the point. I like it. My advice to INTPs? Find a goal that'll make you want to face your fears and press against your fears no matter what. Use your fears and anxiety as guides/hints as to what you need to improve in order to reach that goal. Too afraid to start? Start small, don't let yourself be overwhelmed, and be consistent. Don't put in 100% of effort right away. Put in 10%, and put in 10% every day. Don't drop your new habit after a few days. Go at it for month, then when you're ready, bump it up to 25% effort. But keep at it. Face your fears. Build that resilience to dealing with the scary things in life. You'll become less afraid as time goes on. And remember, it's not supposed to be overwhelming, or you'll just burn out and run away back into your lair again. It's supposed to be uncomfortable and unpleasant and scary, but not overwhelming. You'll build mental muscle and things that made you uncomfortable won't be as uncomfortable anymore. You'll keep leveling up as time goes on. It might take months, or years. Commit to it, strain yourself, be patient and forgiving with yourself, and you'll see results. - Sincerely, an INFJ (who also used to be too afraid and anxious of Life at one point)

INTP female here - Where INTP females really shine is when they have children, in my opinion. All of my perfection, information, standards, thirst to solve problems, finally found a purpose. The most important purpose. I feel like I was built for this, that I had been preparing for this without realizing it. I teach them all the time but I use humor and fun. I desire to help them explore. I never thought I'd want kids and now I think they're the perfect addition to the knowledge-gatherer that I naturally am. All of my kids tell me that I'm the best teacher, that I'm the funniest person they know. They enjoy asking me questions and getting answers they've never heard before. I love answering their questions completely and perfectly. Connecting with them is easy because we never had to go through the "small talk" stage. They seem to be what brings me back to the real world when I've floated off into my ideas, which I really need. My duty to them conquers most of my anxieties although not at first. It took a few years.

I'm thankful that my ISTJ father instilled in me a sense of what I should do in life and my ENTJ mother instilled life lessons in how not to be lazy and to pursue a life of the autodidact and avoid many an addicting temptation. It has served me well compared to what it sounds like many INTP suffer with. Some of those lessons may have left scars but the anxiety I feel does drive me to be productive rather than the opposite.

When you started saying that we all INTPs are simps to something or someone, it is not my case. I like anime, I like many things, but I don't idolize those things. I don't like to value beauty or the ideas from other people above myself. Not only that, but I despise people who are too self-centered because they think they are better than others when they are pieces of shit without any worth. If we talk about nihilism and thinking there is nothing of value out there, I can understand why someone can think like that. The world is full of shitty people, and awful things like wars, hate, hypocrisy, insincerity, selfishness, diseases… And even the good things cannot make you forget about them. And it is not just social anxiety; you need to understand that not all people work at a very high pace. Some need more time and need to reflect a lot more to grow the value in oneself. It is like a hermit meditating for years. It is not the search of the sunken ship, it is the search of your own self.

Great video, I felt your words resonate with my situation at the moment. I'm 20 and living with my mother, currently unemployed and battling with depression and substance abuse.

To be honest I feel pathetic most of the time, and I have used drugs to cope with my perceived inadequacies. I recently quit amphetamines which I abused because they made me feel like I was being productive and moving forward, when in reality the hyperactivity just served as a distraction from my depressive mindstate.

I had an awakening where I had to realize I was autistic again and to stop trying to pretend I wasn't to please others, but that has also led me to rediscover my inferiority of incapability due to my diagnosis. How do I even know what motivations to set my sights on? I only have so much mental energy, I wish I had more, I've spent years trying to find solutions to hack my own mind, including Jungian Typology and other things. It seems the INTP mind is much more energized by spontaneous insights and flow state than struggle and determination. But anyway I recently rediscovered Thoughty2's KZbin channel, which I think is an excellent tool to sharpen the INTP mind in a way that is relatively accessible for the mind that craves variety of thought.

Thanks for the asskicking. I've been working on a novel for 10 years. It's finally time to finish.

[@linazatar]

bahahahah you're so right !!! You just confirmed what I thought! But am I going to change something in my life and take action? Probably not, because I want to enjoy my youth, in 3 years I will be an adult, so I might as well enjoy it, right? anyway, I've already learned not to stress, guys, thanks to my personalized working method which consists of doing my homework the same morning to enjoy my evening as long as possible! And yes, I don't think the stereotype of intps who always procrastinate is inaccurate! In fact there are also other reasons why I prefer to work like this, and I think other INTPs will recognize themselves! In fact, INTPs do not have brains designed to respond to people's specific expectations, to assist them! They need to chart their own path, to move forward, and to flourish! They need to think, be passionate and create in their own way! Personally, I have a lot of external passions, like the MBTI, reading, writing, mental challenges... This is also why it can seem difficult, to chart our own path, rather than staying in our comfort zone, simply because we don't know where to start to build our projects... But guys, I have something to tell you, don't wait! Get started, it doesn't matter if you don't finish what you start! The important thing is that you gave your all and had fun! Don't deprive yourself of what you want to do, when an idea comes to you, it's generally a good idea to leave a trace before letting it escape...

Thank you for INTP video. I was wondering if you would have more content of the struggling of an ENTJ as well? Is there any video on how to stop giving treasure to the wrong people as a wayfarer? Especially an ENTJ. - Asking for a friend who is struggling to move on because there's no love here and how to just take it back and finally start walking away from this abyss.

[@wp5612]

This video is a treasure even for a wayfarer. Thank you Chase!

[@pinklasagna8328]

Infp here. My si child doesnt like to go out. But when i get to get over my self i learn something new, while also embarrassing myself. It's a weird dynamic. However i am way more productive and is overcoming my sin of sloth after me going out of my cave like a cat. Still not enough though. However nothing of this would probably happened if i didnt met my enfj friend. An enormous amount of willpower would be required for me to go through this process alone. I suggest intps to use internet and prioritize making friends in your area rather than overseas.

[@abethethird8381]

Is it just me as an intp, I stopped having anxiety straight after graduating highschool. And before that it wasn't anything big just jitters before getting to school. I remember when I was young it was more prevalent but when I started organizing my life and going for my goals it kinda went away cause I know I always go for the future that I want. Maybe that can be a hint for someone who's struggling with it still.

[@vortex_g1460]

Your test says I'm an INTP but I think I'm terrible at typing myself and others. I could actually be a Te user, INTJ or INFP however I'm self deprecating so there is that . I had to go through a life crisis in order to change. I was a burden to everybody around me and to make it even worse, my parents were enabling me. I had no job, no car, getting fat and was living in my parents basement. Both of them had poor health and died before they hit 60. My mother had an excuse because she had Cystic Fibrosis and actually lived much longer than expected. My father had no excuse because he sacrificed his health by working 80 hours a week for 20 years and ground his health into the dirt (an ENTP or so I think). He never even tried to change his life styles after he became disabled and ended up dying in his sleep possibly because of an overdose from his pain meds or a hearth attack. So here I was living at my parents house alone, suicidal with no light at the end of the tunnel. My INFJ brother saved me and I'm eternally grateful that he helped pull me out of that abyss. Now I'm married to an ENFJ and have a kid. We are currently seeing an obesity specialist and have both lost over 70 pounds.

Now I feel like everybody else is boring, living a normie life, I will never fit in with them and I will still get in the way. I'm afraid of spending time and effort on a fruitless endeavor, that's what stops me putting in effort.

2:40 Not a revelation. I considered that. I guessed it in time. Not enough to act accordingly. My super-ego isn't getting me on track because I still need faith in a purpose. The faith I had have been destroyed several times. It's hard to believe after that. I just can't pretend to believe when I don't. Fuck my super-ego. My super-ego only urges, but gives no reason. Even when I obey it, I don't know what I'm doing an go nowhere.

[@rayadevine7290]

Uhhhh? I’m an Infj. And I Have been able to relate to this through and through. It’s been a long, very long time coming for me to face that I have to be comfortable with myself. I truly get the lust vs chastity thing now. And on a fundamental level at that. I’ve lived in my Enfp shadow all my life and been with an estp for 5 years and for the past 2 it’s like Chase have been the torch in my tunnel. This is exactly what I been needing to hear. Chase would you ever know how much you’ve help me grow.

I think INTPs are servile or just surviving with the least amount of effort (hedonism), because they actually hate their life, they don't kill themselves just because they don't want to hurt too much anybody who cares about them. At least that's what I do right now in my fresh 23. I understand that I need to flip this Fi demon and start loving my life, because suicide is just not an option. I don't really think that it's fair to say that me being born is my fault, but I gotta take responsibility for that. I just haven't yet really found something that would justify the limitations and suffering of my time being alive. I would prefer to be absolutely unconscious to be honest. Well everything is temporary, but nothing is lost. So whatever I guess. I might as well try to put my life in order and see what happens. Although that's not really true, because since everything is temporary, suffering is lost. I must therefore find some way to accept and embrace my suffering in order to want to live. The purpose to live is to suffer? How can one possibly want to suffer without experiencing pleasure? Humans are unable to want to truly suffer without experiencing pleasure from it. So to eliminate suffering I must want to suffer 🤯

[@darkturquoise9420]

As an intp I discovered the theory of everything in jail on my bunk bed we live in a predeterministic & deterministic superdeterministic paradoxical universe but I could even go a step further according to the theory of atoms that said atoms can't be destroyed but duplicated: becuz the particles r duplicating; and other particles r duplicating on molecular level so small it becomes quantum n the microtubules inside ur bodies still exist long after ur dead so ur information is still out there like a hardwire built in computer of quantum physics becuz u r made up of the quantum field why else u think u can go from alpha to theta to netherworld that is why in a near death experience what u have experience is dmt leaving ur body if someone were dead n burned to ash n we could incoherently gather all the photons in da air we will reincarnate that terrestrial being I don't know if the particles r being replace r truly duplicating that would be the deciding factor but not at all they would probably have to expand outside the regions of space n time but we could live inside our own multiverse n didn't even know it like a set of twins conjoined together

I can't afford anything but food, a roof and functional clothes, hygiene furnitures and means of communication. And If could afort such service, I would invest in creative tools instead. Churches I don't either. Cultists usually hate me because I am a born superstition destroyer. Religion simply doesn't work on me. Stupid people, yeah! They took almost all my time. Decades of my life. And yet I managed to learn a lot from them, by classifying forms of stupidity. Actually, I'm no longer anxious. I am jaded and disgusted. I took the sun before others. They benefited my shade. They won. They mock me. I can die. seriously. Not anxious. Jaded of life.
