The most difficult things about being an INTP in my opinion, are having an incredibly low tolerance for stupidity and incompetence, and the perfectionism and fear of failure. Having a low tolerance for stupidity means that I get frustrated talking to most people rather quickly. The perfectionism and fear of failure are completely crippling and are the reason I am in a craptastic, mostly pointless, boring as hell, dead end job but am too afraid to quit and pursue my dreams. (not that I have any dreams... I'm too depressed to have dreams anymore!)

I struggle a lot with #4! Since high school when I realized I had no dreams, no plans for a career...

[@grimreaper7854]

I am an INTP. I struggle with all of these, except loneliness. I'm fine alone. But when I have something I want someone to hear, but know that no one else will care as much as I do, I do then feel lonely. And suppress that soon after. Leaving this here as a reminder for future me: 5:25 - 5:44.

[@Trizzer89]

Life does suck. People always seem to be mean for literally no reason. And they are always being stupidly irrational

[@fayepolson5906]

Small talk? I would rather die.

[@justicewokeisutterbs8641]

Life does not suck an an INTP. ...except when you're at a seminar and they want you to split up into small groups and so something. Ugh

[@theintrovertworld]

Haha, that scenario sounds challenging but also relatable for a lot of people. Those moments of forced group activities can definitely push comfort zones. How do you usually navigate situations like that, given the analytical strengths of being an INTP?

Life sucks, we're all gonna die anyways

[@lindawiker7286]

Hell is Other People. The INTP isn’t Misanthropic, however they just want to really be left alone most of the time

1:38 “I and tpz” this hurts me physically and mentally

[@theintrovertworld]

Simple typo :) thank you for mentioning

[@SpiKSpaN-ei6zq]

It's the worst of all. Lazy, indecisive, socially awkward.

[@robertwhiteley-yv1sy]

Conversations can be adventurous. There’s no questioning too dark or concept too taboo that I won’t slip into like a pair of comfy slippers. Talk to me about the weather and I’m bored, very bored.

[@freshmintbubblegum3831]

I like the idea you listed steps to work around the traits, not just listing them

The ability to see the truth makes people depressed. Fiction is happier.

[@pizza8725]

Honestly the first one made me slightly doubt my type but i suppose that it also related to my type

[@Beeezledrop]

I'm an INTP and all of these things are things I struggle with. It does make my life suck lol.

[@theintrovertworld]

It sounds like you're carrying some heavy stuff, and it's brave to acknowledge your struggles. Remember, your self-awareness is a powerful step towards growth. Have you found any strategies that make coping with these challenges a bit easier?

[@work8078]

why life sucks even more as an INFP, INTP, INTJ, INFJ

[@AstroBaby91]

Because the world isn't built for us

[@sagittariusmoon6435]

I'm INTP and this resonate except with being non confrontational.

[@Hawkenshmire]

All the thinking makes you live inside your head, you gotta relax sometimes and go out as scary as that sounds.

[@KillianKrause]

I see a lot of INTPs in the comments who really don't seem to understand interpersonal communication very well.

[@yustinussetyoyuniarto4816]

And?

[@drivers99]

I don’t think Einstein or Newton took the MBTI.

[@theintrovertworld]

Absolutely true, they didn't! It raises an interesting point about how we interpret historical figures through modern lenses. If they had taken it, what types do you think they might have been, based on what we know about their personalities and habits?

[@kruggmichaels8958]

@@theintrovertworld I think the conception of Newton as an INTJ comes from the popular story that an apple fell on his head and he discovered gravity. He didn't do what 99.99999999999999% percent of people would have done if an apple fell on their head, which would be to curse their misfortune and move on with their lives. He became obsessed with why the apple fell on his head. What subtle, invisible forces unknown to man and beyond the perception of ordinary people had created such movement? INTJs are known for their intuition about the unknown and fixation on patterns and predictions, so I think it fits. Not too sure about Einstein. He sure loved the public spotlight. He was basically the Bill Nye, or Neil Degrasse Tyson of his time. He got way too much credit for the theory of relativity. Which many other scientists who were never acknowledged contributed a great deal to. Hard to say why he's typed as an INTP. I guess because he was famous for having a messy house, and acting like a space cadet lol

[@michaelwynn4559]

Thanks. I can use a number of these insightful tips!

[@theintrovertworld]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kantottero3831]

I overthink and sometimes literally cant finish what i started because of analysis paralysis

[@theintrovertworld]

Absolutely understand where you're coming from! Overthinking can indeed lead to being stuck in analysis paralysis. Here are a few concise tips that might help: Break tasks into smaller parts to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Set clear, short time limits for decisions to prevent over-analyzing. Accept that 'good enough' is okay. Perfection isn’t practical. Practice mindfulness to ease anxiety and clear your thought process. Discuss your thoughts with someone to gain a new perspective. Remember, it's all about making progress, not achieving perfection. Each step, no matter how small, is valuable. Keep going!

Legit!

[@nopejhonson958]

Life sucked the most for intps the first 20-25 years then it sort of evens out... I have yet to see an upswing outside of money increase which should happen to anyone building a career so I don't count that.

Temporary comfort, not happiness. Drugs are euthanasia.

@@looperbirhinger7043Yeah it was a joke. Thought it’d be obvious on an INTP related comment section. But of course not. Luckily I have drugs to erase my immeasurable dissatisfaction from these responses.

Isaac Newton stricks me as an INTJ

[@carolmiller1897]

I’ve taken the test more than once and all times came out I NTP but I don’t not feel like I am intelligent so what’s with that?

[@yustinussetyoyuniarto4816]

Maybe intp do not equal with intelligence, intp tend to be intelligent based on research maybe. Tend to be do not equal with equal.
