INTPs and Ne Parent: All The Possibilities

You can contact me at [e-mail] for any business inquiries, questions, or stories! You may be featured in a video sometime in the future!
Today I discuss INTPs and our 2nd best function Ne parent including:
Quick overview of the INTP cognitive function stack
The Ti-Si loop of death and why this severely limits our Ne
The cognitive function of Ne and how it applies to INTPs
Why Ne parent can be an attractive trait for INTPs if used correctly
The idea of letting your Ne parent lead at times
Problems with Ne parent and possible solutions to fix them
Thanks for watching!

INTP: cooks frozen pizza cause he remembers his body needs foods. Gets distracted. 5 hours later remembers he needs food again, eats the cold pizza, and congratulates himself for thinking about food in advance.

[@emtechproaudio6176]

Tyler, I appreciate the awesome videos you are making. Especially that you are an INTP yourself and actually got yourself up off your sofa to do this project, and you've kept at it for a year. This alone is inspiring to me, stuck on my sofa. I'm in my 50's. I discovered only 3 days ago that I am an INTP. It's been an incredible experience, like looking into a mirror for the first time. I've immersed myself in researching it (now I know that's typical INTP behavior) I've felt like a freak - why do I feel content being alone? Why do I rebel so strongly against any structure being imposed on me? Why do I have this underlying feeling that most other people are stupid? Why do I think like an engineer, with the ability to analyze and create complex systems, but I can never get anything accomplished in real life? Why do I constantly flit from one interest to another? Now I know that there are others like me, about 3-4% of the general population. And we have value to bring to society.

[@intpsurvivalguide2473]

Thank you! Yes I had the same feelings growing up. What is wrong with me? But once I discovered it is just how I am, it was a truly freeing experience. Now I not only accept myself, but am proud of being an INTP!

[@li-nettev.6703]

wow..I feel the same.

[@DarkSage1117]

Hey there, I hope you're doing well. Has there been a discord opened up yet?

[@jack76787]

Another great video. Fe inferior is rough and with Si I feel like sometimes I have a black and white relationship with comfort. For some reason I get attached to specific forms or schedules of comfort when in reality there's other opportunities for comfort that would allow me to be more flexible and still have the same level of comfort.

[@intpsurvivalguide2473]

Thank you for the kind words! INTPs need days of comfort and there is nothing wrong with this. But doing it too much will bring a sense of dread that can be terrible!

[@greynperiwinkle4753]

This is the kind of thing that we not only have to hear, but also repeat to ourselves constantly! It feels so rewarding to get out of the comfort zone, but also so easy to forget how it felt after recharging and so easy to slip back into the cracks

[@winnersmindset5819]

You helped me alot multiple times Tyler. From INTP to INTP. Thank you so much for doing these Videos, sometimes this TI-SI loop leads to depressive thoughts, you basically feel stuck and worthless. You have all those ideas, and know what to do to get from A to B, and finally make it- you have the best ways in your current position to be successful, you know all the steps, reasons, scenarios ... but you are still stuck in your comfortzone and continue to think about everything, and and waste time and practically get nothing done. I've also spend months in this loop. Like right now I am/ I was in one and your Video helped me. Thank you

[@rambultruesdell3412]

👍 many spot ons. Having NE parent and not as hero enables an improved intuitive focus. Sensor types really put the NE down saying, "no!" to correct but not understood beliefs. Use the NE. Not our enemy. INFP

[@intpsurvivalguide2473]

So true

[@goldsword0531]

This is it. As intp we always question the meaning of everything yet we are doing nothing and procrastinating all the time. We assume we will not be very successful and have great impact so we do nothing at all. But to have meaning is not what it comes first, after experiencing something new, you can then get the meaning. Thx for this video 🙂 will try to open up and be curious again ☺️

[@chaulethanh752]

I extremely agree with you

[@robscovell5951]

I've been thinking about the doom loop and had a revelation about just how strong is my motivation to build a comfort zone in which to Ti-out. I wanted to be a Victorian Oxford don with tenure and a private income so I could pursue obscure academic subjects in the comfort of a Dark Academia room with a roaring fire. I just realised consciously just how much my financial and business decisions are motivated by this. I don't fit in to a world of targets and deliverables and I make my money by providing high criticality, low frequency tech support for legacy systems.

[@nirbhaygor]

Just perfect. I just had a solo trip recently and I have never felt more alive. I felt so confident. I knew for the first time I can survive most things that life can throw at me.

[@peteaseib]

Loving your videos, I feel like they are really helping me. I've read that the "Big 5" personality model has supeceded MBTI, due to the big 5 being composed more recently with the aid of modern data crunching. With MBTI being more based on what someone just thought up though, that says to me MBTI may be more possible to wrap your brain around.

[@andybeckwith3228]

Discord sounds good for the INTPs here who need to practice talking, it might be more comfortable starting out with similar people

[@intpsurvivalguide2473]

Good point. Also a place where we can interact with people who understand where we are coming from

[@laurawinslow8808]

I think the reason we have trouble finishing things is we see the ultimate futility of it once we get the basic understanding..

[@robscovell5951]

Yeah. Also this happens to me: I find something interesting because it's a mystery to solve. But when I've figured it out it's no longer mysterious but completely obvious so I lose interest. It's interesting how Te is called the Nemesis ... even before I encountered MBTI, I have encountered many INTJ people (with Te Parent) in my work life who I just can't compete with because even though I am just as skilled as they are, they are better at fitting in with corporate timelines etc. I'm a software dev (highly competitive field) and whenever a Te comes on the team I know my days are numbered because they can do what I can but in a way that doesn't cause project managers to freak out.

You are helping me so much, Tyler! Many thanks!

[@travismora9046]

I just want to say i have been on a journey to discover and understand Fe and the great value it brings to the Intp. I think it is a game changer. Learning how to embrace your awkwardness and with no appologies. Then get past that and letting yourself feel the warm of other people is a great feeling. My wife is an esfj. She has been telling me all this stuff and as an Intp i truely did not comprehend what she was saying. I will probably never ever be great at it but i can and u can use it with complete success. Because it is such a blind spot you may not even be able truely understand what it means to make another person feel safe inside so you can communicate outside of reason. It is such a great function in my opinion that i wish i could use it better and wonder how my life would be different being able to relate others emotions. The fearless man has great videos and drills to help you understand this function better and use it in a positive way. Using this function will make you more social and feel more respect from others. Dont wait getting into this function will change your life and and give TI a rest. Its ok it will still work when you get back to it. Lol. Hope this helps someone who is stuggling. Dont stay stuck in 12and3, use 4 too you wont regret it.

[@teddypuccini9824]

Interesting point of view. I came to the same conclusions as you but I never thought it was Ne related. The way my Ti saw it is that I could hack Si child by expanding my confort zone. When you force yourself out of the confort zone it's really painful in the beginning but the more you do it, the more these "new things" become a part of your confort zone which becomes larger and larger, making Si child become less problematic eventually.

[@petrdostal3915]

As I understand it, you need something like a "short evaluation", which will protect you against too much possibilities. I guess that you know what short evaluation is: when you multiply a number by zero, you do not have to know its value to evaluate the result.

[@diogenesdacynic8656]

To be fair, ti-si is how i found out about and studied mbti. Lol and as far as escaping the Ne "oooh shiny" phase and complete project(s). I find that keeping a number of projects on a rotation helps (if the circumstances permit).

Though some of my projects could theoretically lead to income, there are usually barriers of some kind. Like there is a big break in the causal chain necessary to get from here to there, that I don't know how to bridge. Or other kinds of impediments. As a result, all of my projects get regarded with the same level of "am I interested in this at the moment" and none really go anywhere.

[@intpsurvivalguide2473]

Anything worth doing will be difficult. But I don't know I think we should still try.

[@KarlJeager]

On the subject of completing projects. With the disclaimer that I think INTP fits best for me, but if I am incorrect then everything that follows will also be wrong. I have found that the best way to get myself to do things, is to commit to do them with or better for someone whose opinion I care about. The guilt associated with thinking of not fulfilling the commitment tends to be a strong motivator, of course this can be a high risk option since if I do start to fail I will really feel like crap and not want to see or talk to the person I am failing.

[@li-nettev.6703]

Hi TYler if you do have a discord for INTP folks Ill gladly join..that would be great.

[@Quasihamster]

Things don't look that easy here unfortunately. "Just doing it" requires money often. I've been involuntarily sent into retirement and social welfare due to autism, and welfare in my country means you can only earn so much extra or lose your income. So any idea for money I might have, I'd better be absolutely certain it's going to work, because it will be an existential risk if not. Small things to get out of the loop I do. Excursions, using my knowledge to help other where possible. But big leaps of faith... faith has been punished time and again.

[@louclarcen5690]

Could you do a video on INTP careers? I’m at the point in my life in which I think I should start building a career. Too often I’ve found my jobs too boring or stressful. Right now, I have opportunities to go into grant writing or GIS.

I relate to this video. But I'm not sure if I am an INTP or an ISFJ.

[@vortex_g1460]

How do Know if I’m an INFP or INTP. I always go through this cycle of doubt if I’m really an INTP. Usually I have to go back and use C.S. Joseph’s test every few months. Every time I take the test, I get INTP for my result, yet I wonder if I’m really Systematic or Interest based. Am I really pragmatic or actually affiliative? If somebody is pissed at me for a mistake I made, I typically will feel a guilt trip and immediately try to fix the issue but eventually I need retreat and the situation won’t be fully resolved until all emotions have calmed down. I get excited when I hear about some strange new concept I’ve never heard before. Even if I don’t believe it I still explore this “what if” idea. I don’t believe in flat earth but I have entertained the idea and explored everything I could find about it. Alternate ways of thinking intrigue me and gives me excitement. I explore many “out of the box” idea’s because I know I will not find truth unless everything is explored.

[@vickyjk1360]

I am not sure when you are going to make another video. But here is my doubt about my survival. I haven't had a good relation with people including my parents. I thought.....problems are caused by me- fight or arguments. I am changing myself but.....things doesn't seem to change. I live with my parents and I am helping my mom and dad in their daily household chores and studying. But for some reason, they don't find me enough. Atleast thats what I get from their action towards me. I am called - argumentative, headstrong, angry, obnoxious for some reason even though it is hardly that I talk. Why is it that....I am constantly asked to prove myself in comparison to my sister who is extrovert but doesn't give much hands in anything related to our family? What should I do. I constantly feel like running away..... This also makes me think... even in future if I get with another person- boyfriend or husband, I will still have a similar bad relationship with him
