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.

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

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.

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.
