INTP (me): I love expressing my feelings with facial expressions

ENFX: your face has always the same expression

INTP: I have no feelings

Oh my god, I can’t agree more. I know a few INFP and they’re the sweetest and most compliant people I ever met. As a socially awkward person, they really make me feel at ease. And their sense of humor is the best.

I can’t be the only one

INTP quote of the day (via observations-of-an-intp)

JOIN THE INTROVERT NATION MOVEMENT

8s are generally extroverts.

They aren’t the only ones with this problem tho (though neither are introverts tho so point taken; I’m sure this rarely ever happens to IxFJs unless they’re having a super bad day)

Resting Bitch face is mostly a T problem, though there has been the occasional ISFP* likewise affected (Opposing Fe + Auxillary Se sometimes produces a sorta stern look. ). 

I’d also like to say that the poster itself is awesomesauce but attributing it exclusively to introverts is a tad hamfisted.

(Not my ISFP tho, in case she reads this and is worried. She’s probably the most obvious, feeliest feeler to ever feel feelings, her appreciation for funfacts nonwithstanding. * virtual hug * )

Loneliness

As an INTP, I feel like loneliness is one of the harder feelings to deal with.

Loneliness, by definition, is “sadness because one has no friends or company”. Thus, because I am generally introverted and unsocial, to be lonely pretty much goes against all my logic and feelings.

I don’t like people. I have been hurt and ignored by more than a few, and I’d just rather save myself the exhaustion of having to deal with others shit and just depend on myself for happiness. Dealing with people is one of the things I like the least, and I have no qualms with the thought of being alone forever. And yet, even in thinking this, I can still feel a deep loneliness ebbing and growing in my core, making my logic against opening up and socializing even harder to follow.

Sometimes I don’t feel the loneliness and am quite content drifting along in life quietly by myself. But sometimes there’s just a burst of this feeling, this yearning to have friends and to find a place where I belong.

So far, these feelings have never helped me and I continue to be disappointed by the people around me. “You’ll find someone someday” they say, “you’ll find your people”. I can’t help but think this not to be true, even though my loneliness hopes otherwise.

So ultimately, loneliness is a useless and illogical human feeling that I’d rather not have, but unfortunately my brain is not so forgiving.

INTP and Emotions

Ti: Okay, so we’ve got a sudden influx of emotions here, and although emotions are irrational and inconvenient, there has to be some reason for them as they were evolutionarily successful. What happened that could have caused this?

Si: Uhhhh… Well I mean… We were just lying in bed trying to sleep, sooo…

Ne: It’s probably depression. Or anxiety. Or a personality disorder.

Fe: Guys, shouldn’t we talk to someone about this?

Ti: SHUT UP FE! No one asked you! We’re trying to figure this out here, not complain to the world about our insignificant emotions.

Fe: But-

Ne: We should see a therapist. Or our mom.

Ti: No! Absolutely not. Not until we’re sure at least.

Si: How are we supposed to be sure? It’s not like we know what depression feels like.

Ti & Ne: TO THE INTERNET!!!

Ti: Okay, so it’s not a mental illness, which means it’s insignificant and all in our head. Carry on folks. *nods*

Fe: *grumbling* But this sucks.

Ti: One more word out of you and I’m taking away your crying privileges.

INTP superpowers

Knowing another person’s insecurities and using that to their advantage when necessary.

Randomly disappearing for various lengths of time and then reappearing like nothing happened.

Answering questions asked to them 20 minutes earlier in a conversation like it’s completely normal.

The ability to completely disconnect from the concept of time. It’s 11PM and seemingly minutes later it’s 3AM.

Coming to a conclusion or answer without being able to explain how they know the correct answer.

Knowing a person’s shoe preference because eye contact is hard.

Offending all of the people without even trying to do so or knowing they have done so.

Saying something creepy, rude or sexual without realizing what they’ve said until it’s too late.

Stuttering when asked a basic question like “how are you?”, but not even breaking a sweat when explaining a complex theory.

Singing to themselves or to their pets and making weird faces for no reason (or maybe that’s just me :/).

These are all me.

‘Singing for no reason’ was usually *how* I unknowlingly weirded everyone out as a kid XD
