INTJ; ENTJ; ENTP; INTP: But I was trying to be nice!
INFJ; ENFJ; ENFP; INFP: Breaking news: you failed. Try harder.
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.

What is beauty?? What is love?
Beauty is the inside of a bright mind. Love is the decision of continued loyalty based on profound admiration.

ENTP: … ENTP: Have you seriously woken me up for this.
INTJ: Oh, didn’t mean to.
ENTP: It is 4 freaking 30 am.

intp (distant) vs. intj (cold)
My phone decided only INFJ was responding so here’s part 2 for the last ask ffs.
Why INTJs are referred to as cold and INTPs as distant.
INTP INxPs live inside their heads more than any other introvert. And it makes so much sense since Ne is the least extroverted of all E functions. Extroverted intuition is all about ideas and theories rather than concrete objects of the outside world. The result is that they come across as if they were elsewhere very consistently.
INTJ On the other hand, we have auxiliary Te here. Extraverted thinking is in fact very concerned about the outside world; as long as the INTJ is collecting observable data from the world for posterior analysis, they won’t look distracted at all, but I guess it is to some degree evident that they are using all these elements (human behaviour included) as objective facts. If that doesn’t come across as cold, I don’t know what will. (Sorry for the splitted answer and thanks for the cool question @intp-moments. I’d love to read the thoughts of other INTxs about this). – INTJ
INTJs are referred to as cold, while INTPs distant -what's the difference?
So much sense. Okay, this is my reasoning for this, and I am a very silly human, so this my be very silly conclusion:
Both INTJ and INTP are disconnected. However, the object of their disconnection makes them seem either cold or distant:
- INTJ looks disconected from feelings and therefore are considered cold.
- INTP looks disconnected from our reality and therefore are considered distant.
There are distant INTJs and cold INTPs for sure, but I think they are defined better as cold nerds (INTJ) and distant freaks (INTP)

How do I live in a world where I'm completely surrounded by feelers or sensors. Like not that it's bad but it's more than I just stand out a lot and it's like, I've got friends who have families with newborn babies and stuff and they show it and everyone's drooling over them and I have to fake it otherwise people stare at me like I'm insane like, is it that weird that I just don't like to do that and that I rarely notice changes like people wearing a new shirt becuase in lost in thought??
I completely get the struggle. As an xNTx, it can be very draining to be in situations that have S or F traits, especially if they involve too much extroverting because it enhances these traits. I also get the “standing out” frustration when all you want to do is mind your own thing. I think too rigid behaviours are not something to strive for and people should try to adapt to others to a certain (limited) degree. We’re different, we don’t work the same way and we’re not interested in the same issues. Why do people have to point it out all the time, making others stand out as if it was not already obvious for that person in the first place. Let’s just get over it.
To answer your first question in particular on “how to live in a world surrounded by F and S”:
- The previous remark on trying to get a little adapted is also applicable to you. It’s okay to show a little more interest than you feel if it’s something that is really important to others.
- It is also okay not to do so. If you don’t feel comfortable with yourself because you think it’s too fake, then don’t.
- Sometimes you will feel like you’re different to everyone else in a room. That’s okay. Try to internally validate yourself. I’m sure you wouldn’t want to think differently and your opinion about who you are is the only one that truly matters.
- If you end up feeling lonely after these situations, try to engage in activities that validate your own preferences.
- Then try to talk to someone with whom you can relate more. It doesn’t even have to be friends from your surroundings.
- You can always message me talking about the most F and S stuff you’ve been through that day and we can talk about how different we perceive it from everyone else.
I hope this helps. Your story with the baby pictures is so funny, especially for the way you were wording it. If you want to laugh at my own misadventures with xSFx situations in return, you can find it >here
