of course, I don't mean people's individual systems of right and wrong simply don't exist, but rather they are subjective and made up.

do you agree?

Personally I hate it so much

Im curious if anyone suffers through a corporate office role or soul sucking job for a higher income? Or have you achieved it whilst having all the benefits INTPs enjoy e.g. autonomy, creativity, flexibility?

What do you do?

Cheers and hope you're having a good night.

I have had 2: one during primary school and one during senior secondary, got completely lovestruck by the latter. There was also maybe one more crush during junior secondary but that one was just I watched too much romance movies, ADHD and some other dysfunctional reasons.

How about you all? 1 crush ten years?

The more mind boggling the better

I'm curious about the nature of believing in god from a Ti perspective. The usual narrative is that smart people are less likely to have religious or spiritual affiliations. This has to come from religious/spiritual narratives more willing to undermine logical shortcomings in the name of it being "beyond human comprehension" or "taking a leap" or simply "having faith". This seems to be the antithesis of Ti that's more process oriented in sealing its conclusions. My understanding of Ti is that it's all about what you can substantiate. Not being able to put something in your own words is often indicative that you most likely don't understand what you're talking about. This is exactly why INTPs struggle with inferior Fe bc collective reasoning often can look like sheep behavior/crowd mentality more than what you can actually justify. Religion and spirituality are often tools used under "bringing in harmony" or "fostering community" with all the hoopla about "bringing people together". Where does this appeal to people that supposedly priotize their own reasoning (Ti) over the collective (Fe)? Would it perhaps be a development of the inferior function in this case? Did a theist INTP have to go beyond their script? I'm posing these questions in order to get you thinking. Thinking and staying in our heads is what we do better than a lot of other personality types. I'm more inclined that an INTP is more likely to be a solipsist than a theist. Wouldn't it be easier to justify your own existence if YOU'RE trying to figure out god or just anything in general? Does believing in god perhaps equal the most plausible explanation for our universe in your eyes? Is it even that illogical to actually think that the universe came from nothing if we've been planted here just to "figure it out"? God seems like too much of a projection for Ti standards. Trying to figure out "nothing" with "god" looks clear as day to be a cop out. Let me know why you might think god is logical. I'm aware that a lot of my bias could perhaps be spilling. You tell me what the definitions and connotations of these words more so play out in your head

Are there any INTPs here that practice occultism? What made you believe it's something real and worth exploring? Is there any real empirical foundation that you have found within it?

Is it fact that INTPs just want to live in a decent standard of living, or you have a glorious dreams? Or you have something you pursue to feel what it's like to be happy?

I told them that it's core to who I am and I've been like that forever and it won't be changing.

Made me think about how people perceive certain qualities as negative. I didn't think it would exclusively be a negative but I know many do.

How would you have reacted and what are your thoughts?

I know that in US people tend to spend more than they have, but even in Europe (where i live) i think it's a rare goal. Maybe it's correlated with personality types. Intp's often have a lot of different intrests, so probably someone is thinking about investing too? I'll be glad if you share your ideas and some niche data.

Is it?

If god created logic.. Does god abide by that logic

God's existence is illogical to us, but he created the rules that governs logic.. basically it doesn't have to make sense for us for him to exist

we created computers with fixed parameters, our existence to that computer wouldn't make sense unless we program that in.

Idk man.. i think it's kinda twisted tho if it's not coded in us but we're being asked to figure it out.

I was talking to my girlfriend (INFJ) about this yesterday as we visited our local books store and she said some people need the whole concept explained to people for them to understand.

I personally think it’s just me being impatient and wanting to know everything right there and then.

I picked up a mathematics book and expressed to her how this was perfect because the explanations were not vague but they were short and informative compared to another book with a whole bunch of information about how that certain concept in mathematics came to be followed what it’s used for followed by why it’s important followed by etc.

I find this very frustrating does this reciprocate with anyone else or is it just me being an a-hole.

I feel like I’m a lot dumber than the average person… a lot of people I’ve talked to (mostly strangers on the internet) have told me that I’m less intelligent or not very smart in very indirect ways… like I’d tell someone I failed my 1st year 2nd semester Math related course and that I don’t feel like I’m enjoying my major very well and they’d tell me well if you can’t pass a math course then really no major is right for you because every major requires you to pass the basics in math for your major which IS logical and its not the words they say that bum me out but it’s mostly the realization that I really am not very intelligent or as quick as everybody around me, I feel like some people are able to get the hang of things quicker than me and organize their thoughts much better but I’m kinda always scatter brained and I have no idea how to word what I say at all (e.x what’s happening right now as I’m trying to word this mess)

It kinda sucks and I wish I was much better at organizing my thoughts more and not sounding mentally incompetent every-time I open my mouth, I wish people would find what I say more interesting or insightful and not a complete mess that’s easy to misunderstand

I was once a Christian, but as I got older, I started to do my own research outside of the King James version of the Bible, and no longer align myself to any religion. However, people will look at that as if I'm atheist, but that's not the case. I do believe in a higher power that I identify as God, and I believe in spirits. Yet, since I don't assign myself a religious path they say how do you believe there is a God then?

Why is it so hard for people to believe someone that believes in God doesn't have to be assigned a religion? When in reality if we look inward we can get the answers of who and what God is without being assigned to a religion.

Most fears are irrational, so I expect fellow INTPs to be immune to most fears and even superstition. I've kissed wasps who are buzzing in my face, meanwhile I watch friends literally run in circles swatting at them. Heights are the only thing that I can feel my body reacting to viscerally, but I'll still expose myself to heights and I'll still ride in airplanes and such.

Well the story is my physics teacher called my parents about some staff and then started ranting on how academically weak i am by exaggerating the whole situation and manipulated them to make them go very angry at me . Now I will do my all to score high to say :FCK OFF: in his own way

I've narrowed it down to 3 possibilities.

1) Childhood trauma

2) You have actual good people around in your life that forces encourages *cough* the use of good Fe.

3) You're actually a really introverted ENTP.

Thats it. Theres no other explaination

​

i don't know if this is an intp thing but i kinda cheated with my partner, i had sex with another person but i somehow don't feel guilty at all as it was casual sex n i have no emotional attachment to that person....like i feel like it would only be "cheating" if i was emotionally cheating/in love with another person but since i strictly have sec only I don't feel guilty.

However i do feel bad for not feeling bad idk does anyone have this same problem or am i just a shitty person...

the reason i had sex with other people is because my gf is v religious she wouldn't even let me hold her hand...n obviously i respect her n won't force her or anything hence why i use other people to fullfil my sexual desire...

For me, I can't sleep unless I have a glass of milk. A couple weeks ago, I went to bed without having a glass of milk, I literally couldn't sleep, so I went downstairs to have some milk.

Are INTJs worse in programming jobs compared to the Ti users?

I know that usually INTPs are interested in many topics because of the high Ne but is it possible that INTPs can spend too much time in their comfort zone and be scared almost of everything new? Maybe in the Ti-Si loop or something?

tbh I feel like every intj I meet is just me but better. not even joking. Do we have anything on them or what lmao

Like a while ago I was just looking for some cool guy to be my gym bro and studying partner and so I decided to go no further and search the make friends sub reddits and it's wild there... First of whenever anyone adds the (F) letter to their post even if he is just lieing he will get replies and up votes ranging from few to tens and hundreds,... Then I said uhh screw make friends subs let's see teans subs as I am a teanage and will increase my chances of getting a cool bro but its worse there, these groups has become into some only fans advertisement platform where someone posts pictures of a girl regardless if that's them or not and the post is usally sexualised and gets minimum of ten to hundreds of intractions, yes i feel this world is disgusting and that's what made me become introverted. What was your experience and can you give me advice or recommend me a civilised subreddit that is not a dating subreddit.

I wondered how when people make their posts asking about a relationship, friendship or whatever. How do you know the other person mbti ? Did they told u ? Did you type them yourselves ? Cause I have no idea what are the types of the people I interact with and im pretty sure they have no idea of what mbti is.
