INFJ: How can you be having the mid-life crisis in your twenties?
INTJ: ...That actually sums-up my current situation very accurately.
INTJ & INFJ – episode 46: evil robots
INFJ is showing INTJ the abstract of a conversation with ENFJ in which INFJ is trying to help them with some personal problems.
INFJ: Do you think I was too condescending?
INTJ (after giving it some thought): Well I guess it really depends on ENFJ’s perspective.
INFJ: Mhm.
INTJ: However, calling someone by their first name after stating something is always condescending. Yet again, I do it too and I guess as long as it doesn’t bother ENFJ it shouldn’t be a problem?
INFJ: Using people’s first name humanises them. ...Or so I read in a book.
INTJ: It also makes them more likely to believe you.
INFJ: You’re definitely an evil robot.
INTJ: Bro I am just stating facts.
INFJ: Exactly what an evil robot would say.
intj and infj - episode 42
INFJ was not feeling good after her exam.
INFJ: It’s official. I’m sick. Ugh, I don’t like being sick. And all the dishes are dirty and I feel so tired.
INTJ: *Inability to cope with the situation*.
INFJ (after a while): I hate this T-T.
INTJ: Well, for me the best part of being sick is having an actual good excuse not to do anything.
INFJ: ...you, my friend have a problem bigger than mine.
INTJ: It really didn’t sound so bad in my head.
INFJ: Really. You ONLY let yourself chill when you are sick.
Ashamed INTJ is ashamed.
INTJ: You know how I’m normally very relaxed and-
ESTP (smiling): No, you’re not. You just pretend to be :).
INTJ:... INTJ: Touché.
when ixtjs actually talk #2 - on toxicity
INTJ: What about relationships? Do you find them simple?
ISTJ (immediately): Oh, yeah.
Confused INTJ is confused.
INTJ: Sometimes I wonder if all relationships are to some extent inherently toxic.
ISTJ: Hm, nope. I think I’m happy with all my relationships.
INTJ: Huh. Okay, strike that. You know how all relationships require effort?
ISTJ: What? Not at all. If it feels like a sacrifice I wouldn’t consider that person my friend and wouldn’t even bother.
INTJ: You mean you never have to make an effort?
ISTJ: Exactly.
INTJ: Well I think all my relationships require my effort.
ISTJ: Is our friendship difficult to you?
INTJ::... actually, no. Not at all.
ISTJ: See? :)
when ixtjs actually talk #1
ISTJ: I wonder, what is simple to you?
INTJ: Nothing.
ISTJ: That sounds horrible.
INTJ (amused): I bet it does to you. What is not simple to you?
ISTJ (after giving it a little thought): professional issues as to what I want to do in life. Should I aim high? Should I aim low?
INTJ: That’s quite complex and deep. Those questions have never crossed my mind.
ISTJ: How so?
INTJ: I can only aim high. Knowing that I’m not trying my best is depressing to me.
ISTJ: Yeah, but I meant economic and professionally wise. I think if you go for less ambitious goals in those fields you’re more likely to have more free time and hence be happier.
INTJ: How does having more free time automatically mean being happier?
ISTJ: How does it not?
ixtjs being ixtjs
INTJ and ISTJ are deciding on short-term study plans.
ISTJ: So, I’m going to the gym, I can meet you afterwards to go back to the library?
INTJ: That would be the reasonable thing to do. I need some workout, too, I might go to a class. How long do you need?
ISTJ: An hour and a half top.
INTJ: Well I can be back at 8, is that too late?
ISTJ: 8pm is so late I might be dead by then.
INTJ went back to the library at 8:00 pm and this overachiever idiot was still there.
INTJ: Should I even be surprised?
After more studying, they find themselves making plans for the next day (ESTJ’s and ESTP’s absence is quite visible in the lack of social plans and spontaneity, respectively).
INTJ: See you tomorrow then.
ISTJ: Yes, I will be here at 9. Actually, it’s my birthday tomorrow so I might arrive at 10.
INTJ: ...Please tell me that is not your only birthday treat. This is so depressing.
ISTJ: Why not? It’s a good one.
INTJ: “It’s my birthday tomorrow, and my celebration consists of one extra hour of sleep?”
ISTJ: Sleeping is awesome. Sleeping makes me happy.
INTJ: You’re so... deeply simple.
ISTJ (after laughing a lot): Should I take it as a compliment?
INTJ: I can change it to ‘simple yet accidentally deep’.
ISTJ (ignoring INTJ, with a big smile on his face): I am gonna take it as a compliment. Thank you!
INTJ: Sure, whatever. You’re very welcome.
intx blissful conversations at 4am
INTP: Hey, how’s it going?
INTJ: Well, I’ve been bored and apathetic lately.
INTP: Cool, that’s aesthetic.
INTJ: I am bored of my apathy and I feel apathetic towards my boredom.
INTP sends a picture of a book. INTP: It’s been on my night desk since I got here. I haven’t even touched it since then.
INTJ sends a similar picture, a pile of books this time. INTJ: ...same.
INTP: We are in stand-by mode, aren’t we?
INTJ: Yeah, such a pity that life still goes on anyway.
intj & infj – episode 41
INTJ (re-reading a self-written essay to double-check it): hee hee.
INFJ:?
INTJ (self-amused): I can be so pedantic sometimes.
INFJ (without taking the eyes off her book): you mispronounced ‘all the freaking time’.
intj & infj - episode 38 (or intj’s paralysis by perfectionism part 7^87)
INTJ: It feels like a failure.
INFJ: No! The fact that you tried is honestly a success n itself
INTJ (rolling eyes already): Yeah. Sure.
INFJ: Dude.
INTJ: I mean, sure, I can “appreciate” that type of mindset, but it doesn’t apply to my own mind.
INFJ (Laughing hysterically): Omg. You freaking air quoting while you say appreciate was a dagger to my heart, asshole.

spooky INxJs
INTJ 2 is staying at INFJ’s house for a few days. INFJ is coming back home. She expects to be alone since INTJ was supposed to stay elsewhere tonight. INFJ: *locks the door after going inside*. *Wild figure appears from the dark making weird movements*. INFJ: AAAGHHH!! INFJ: *Aggressively throws the rope that had just bought*
INTJ 2: *Was just trying to say in a very meme way that he is home*.
He then pointed out that I screamed a muffled “MOTHERFUC-“ before throwing the rope. Scaring me is extremely unwise.
(Happy Halloween lol)
INTJ & INFJ – episode 33
INTJ and INFJ are in the library, studying in silence when:
INFJ (Reading the lecture for that day) INFJ (Looks up)
INTJ (Absolute concentration, using a ruler to draw a perfect line under the sentence she just wrote). INTJ (Looks up, notices they got caught and looks embarrassed stopping for a second before they keep being the nerd they are)
INFJ (With a shit-eating grin, texting): Go perfect or go home, am I right? ~~~ INTJ: Actually, I was meassuring the cm in order to place the bullet point correctly on the next page.
INFJ: Nooo, can’t be true. INFJ (laughing): my poor brain was not prepared for such a level of lameness.
When INTP turns hippy vs. INTJ
INTP and INTJ are walking back from INFJ’s house. INTJ can’t stop sneezing because hay fever sucks. INTJ: If I had to be allergic to something of course it had to be spring-related. INTP: How so? INTJ: I hate spring, I always have. And it just gets worse throughout the weeks. Spring symbolises the end of something, it is so depressing. INTP: Shouldn’t it feel like a beginning? INTJ: No. Finals come, it’s the end of the academic course and yet another year that was not as good as it could be. Autumn on the other hand... INTP: But spring is indeed all about new beginnings, a new cycle. INTJ:... INTJ: Whut. INTP: It’s a new natural cycle! Everything blooms, the days are longer, nature resurfaces. INTJ: (The fuck?). I don’t care about any of that compared to my yearly schedule. INTP: Everything looks beautiful and you’re just there. So grumpy.

Yep. I'm INTJ
[Original question: anonymous asked:Guuuys what can I do if I feel that I lost touch with my Ni?]——–
Ni is a perceiving function, it’s about how you take information from the external world. Ni in particular operates like a background processor that works with this information, focusing on depth and analysing it to its core.
You might be wondering why I’m writing this. Something very important about Ni is that it operates mainly in your subconscious, that’s the reason why Ni doms experience these moments of insights and sudden ideas; Ni’s work happens hiddenly and the INxJ normally is not aware of these thoughts and conclusions until they are decently structured.
Your Ni is there, very present. Every time you are noticing and unconsciously analysing the external elements, that’s your Ni working; everything you hear, see, and perceive happens through your Ni.
In case this explanation is not enough to feel more in touch with its omnipresence in your mind, here are some ways I can think of that might help you recognise it:
- You’re probably in a constant/ semi-permanent mental state of analysis. Try to be aware of it. Your Ni is already doing the work, just try to focus your attention on your mental process [I’m not sure why I always enlist the most difficult task in the first place. Sorry, kinda].
- If this sounds crazy, it might be because you’re not particularly in touch with your thought process at the moment. The answer is more introspection (that’s part of the INTJ trademark anyway); more quality alone time.
- It might also be the case that your Ni is not having ‘quality food’ [what the hell, dude]. Do you constantly feel very mentally tired and bored? Do you miss the adrenaline rush of solving puzzles and problems? Your mind needs activity, INFJ solve like half of my crisis when she explained to me that physical exhaustion is cured with rest whereas mental fatigue needs activity.
- If your surroundings are not intellectually rich, that is no excuse for you to starve your mind. If you enjoy reading Philosophy, that’s honestly the best tool I can think of. [I’ll just add here that in case you’re interested in Philosophy after all, just drop us a message and the INFJ admin nerd will probably recommend you a bunch of her reading material].
- It doesn’t have to be a particular field. Try reading and analysing moderately complex texts that activate your reasoning and analytical skills. If you’re not into Literature altogether, Science should do its work too. Solve Math problems, read on Physics, anything that activates your mind.
- Go for walks. This might sound weird but half of the best ideas I’ve had have been while walking alone (those “aha” moments we were referring to.
All these ideas are not directly connected to Ni, but focused on activating your mind in a way that helps you be more aware of your Ni dom’s working process. I think Ni is probably the most implicit of the 8 cognitive functions, but using your Te and focusing your attention on your inner mental process should help you be more aware of your Ni and make you feel in touch with it again. I hope this helps, thanks for asking!– INTJ
Stop being right, asshole
INFJ to INTJ 1/4 of the day.

I saw your post with tips for INTJs dealing with emotions and may I add on to the "exercise" point- if there's a fencing program anywhere nearby, it's a really great sport for INTJs! It's definitely rather physical, but it's also extremely mental and requires a lot of thinking ahead and noticing patterns in your opponent's attacks (and then adapting to it to get through their defenses). Plus, who doesn't like the idea of legally being able to stab someone?
I just added it, thank you!
Anonymous asked:
ok, im an intj-t (1w9, i believe) and this discovery has kind of surprised me, but, ive come to the conclusion that i am an easily angered/annoyed person. incredibly so. i never express it externally, though. do either of you have any ideas/thoughts on how i went years without realizing that im this bitter and why my personality is so easily frustrated by seemingly normal things?
This is a very INTJ thing. INTJs sometimes fool themselves to believe (consciously or not) that they are in perfect control of their emotions because they don’t wear them. But the thing is, the fact that you don’t show or recognise something doesn’t make it cease to exist, and swallowing emotions is a very unhealthy thing to do (I feel like such a hypocrite writing this, I can already see INFJ mocking me).
Tips to deal with emotions in general and anger in particular:
Talk about it. I know, I know, this is probably gonna be the least liked tip, I hope I haven’t scared you off. But if there is someone in your life with whom you feel comfortable enough, you highly respect their opinion and you know they won’t judge you (maybe someone’s popped in your mind), then oblige yourself to open up a little bit from time to time. It will be difficult at first, but it will also be good for you. If you can’t think of anyone in particular, go to the next point. Write it down. As much as I might feel like a fool, I try to write whatever is upsetting me so that I can have a break from it. I write in a very unpassionate (I guess rather cold-ish) way, but just because it is the only way I can actually do it. Do whatever feels comfortable, you can even crush and destroy the paper sheet afterwards in case you don’t like the idea of having it there.Exercise. This is one of my favourite methods. Go for a run, do martial arts, go to a spinning class, boxing… Any kind of healthy way of expressing your anger.[Edit, this was submitted by an anon]: if there’s a fencing program anywhere nearby, it’s a really great sport for INTJs! It’s definitely rather physical, but it’s also extremely mental and requires a lot of thinking ahead and noticing patterns in your opponent’s attacks (and then adapting to it to get through their defenses). Plus, who doesn’t like the idea of legally being able to stab someone? Bonus: The most INTJ thing ever. Try to go beyond those emotions. They didn’t appear out of no-where and I am sure there are solid logical reasons why you constantly feel annoyed and angry. Solve your own puzzle and validate yourself in the process. Are you annoyed because you’re obliged to stand long draining reunions in which you find yourself to be the only reasonable person? That is okay. That doesn’t make you a jerk. You can also play with these ideas, try to look through every one of them and see if it has a rational or irrational cause. Discard the irrationals and try to solve the rational ones. Be fearless and analyse what exactly is causing this.
I feel you, so deeply.– INTJ
