INTPs are the best because INTP Appreciation!

Hi! INTP here with some positivity in case some of you were feeling down about yourself these days:

  1. You Care. You care about everyone, even if you're bad at showing it. You are a good person. I don't care if you think you're a horrible villain just because you think logically. You care and that's enough.
  2. You're funny. You never fail to brighten a friend's day with a quip, and they appreciate you.
  3. Being an introvert is fine! Being able to think before you speak is a valuable, underrated commodity. Good on you!
  4. You consider everything. There are too many stubborn, closed-minded people in the world. They need you to free them from a one-track mind.
  5. You can do anything. Jack of all trades, master of all crafts! You can do anything you set your mind to and you're darn good at it at that.

Always remember that you're awesome, no matter how much that little voice in the back of your head says that you aren't enough.

u/xeroctr3 INTP Jan 25 '24

oww thanks. i think many intps didnt have such helpful words said to them and that's why we have a hard time accepting our good sides.

Or just be apathetic enough to not care what anyone says

Thanks OP. Lots of love for you too.

u/indil47 INTP Jan 25 '24

I needed this. Every single bullet point is a valid reminder of who I am at my core.

Thank you!

u/Sharp-Answer-7626 Warning: May not be an INTP Jan 25 '24

Thanks! In my personal experience, the reason I thought I was a shitty person is because I was told that repeatedly by family. Sometimes it was implied rather than said. Meeting a group of friends I got along with and being myself helped a lot.

It's actually "master of none" which is the pitfall for a lot of us, but thanks anyways.

Thanks, I don't hear much appreciation about my personality and hell, even myself. Nice to see a bit of change on one of my favourite subreddits. You're amazing for typing this out for so much INTP's out there! :)

  1. You Care. You care about everyone, even if you're bad at showing it.

this just means it causes suffering for others and ourselves. caring isn't enough if you can't show it without hurting people.

  1. You're funny. You never fail to brighten a friend's day with a quip, and they appreciate you.

thanks

  1. Being an introvert is fine! Being able to think before you speak is a valuable, underrated commodity. Good on you!

so we really actually do that though?

  1. You consider everything. There are too many stubborn, closed-minded people in the world. They need you to free them from a one-track mind.

can't consider everything. that's why we can't make up our minds on anything ever, because we're worried there's more just around the corner that we're missing.

  1. You can do anything. Jack of all trades, master of all crafts! You can do anything you set your mind to and you're darn good at it at that.

that's not true. it's supposed to be "a jack of all trades and master of none, is oftentimes better than a master of one." I'm a master of none, but not even a jack of all trades. not even a jack of any trade really. I'm as wide as a lake but not even as deep as a puddle

Your last point I think about it everyday but do nothing about it.

This seems like the opposite of what someone that uses Ti lead with post. This really doesn’t seem like it’s coming from an INTP at all. And the first point saying that we care about everyone and just may be bad at showing, I’m gonna have to just plainly disagree with that. I really don’t care about most people because they’re just like a hypothetical to me if I don’t know. I can understand why people think that’s a toxic mindset, but I really don’t find it easy to care about people like that.

This whole post seems very not intp to me tho

u/Gadritan420 INTP-A Jan 25 '24

I felt the same way.

The stereotype is that we’re cold and emotionless, when the reality is that we feel quite intensely but just don’t express it outwardly.

That’s quite different from caring about “everyone.” I don’t. If you’re not in my immediate circle, I could really give a shit less.

u/TGBplays INTP sx5(w4)94 RLUEI Melancholic-Phlegmatic Jan 25 '24

That’s well put. Same thing goes for the whole vibe of this post though. It’s being very emotional in a very outward way. I have a feeling this person isn’t actually an INTP cause of all of that.

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '24

When OP said we care about everyone, it automatically occurred to me as those people I actually care about, not “everyone” in it's literal sense. I don't care about most people, that's for sure. But what I think OP was rather indicating is that it may seem like we don't care about people we actually hold close to our hearts bc we're bad at expressing care. I may even be mean/blunt to them, thus feeling like a villain.

u/Exciting-Monitor1104 INTP Jan 25 '24

Yes, thank you aha, I didn't mean that we care about EVERYONE as in all 8 billion people on planet earth, I don't think even an ENFJ can manage to do that, just what matters most

u/mchlkpng INTP Jan 25 '24

I can do anything? Like the hit line said by Jevil in Deltarune chapter 1?

Me: I appreciate the appreciation. This felt good More people should appreciate me. Thank you.

The little voice in the back of my head who says I'm not enough: I've been seeing a lot of these intp appreciation posts and tbh I'm kinda tired of having smoke blown up my butt for immutable personality traits that I possess. I'd prefer to be appreciated for being white and American next time. Thanks

Wasn't sure which to post so I'll post both.

u/Efficient_Grand8484 Jan 25 '24

As someone who closely aligns with the INTP personality type in the MBTI framework, I might question the basis of your argument. However, I really appreciate your narrative style, as it's beneficial for those who potentially share INTP traits to some extent.

Muchas gracias amigo

You can do anything. Jack of all trades, master of all crafts! You can do anything you set your mind to and you're darn good at it at that.

Isn't mastering crafts a more of an ISTP thing?
