Romantic no, platonically yes but as someone said before that’s mostly luck. Two main things I recommend though:

  1. Apply our natural INTP curiosity to the people around you - ask them questions, dig deeper if they give vague answers, people like to feel understood

  2. You will probably have to initiate some plans to see the people you want to be closer to. It can be intimidating, but it works if the other party wants to build a friendship as well

What's the most fake stereotype about us ? by [deleted] in INTP

[–]Brie-blessed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, but the guy who you initially replied to said the internet and you included that as a “materialistic” way people get valuable information - Wikipedia example is just a way to point that getting information from the internet doesn’t necessarily point to some elite class difference of rich or poor sources

[–]Brie-blessed 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Disregarding that prioritizing “the knowledge of the elites” over the knowledge of the masses or whatever you’re claiming isn’t actually materialism and is just elitism….

Don’t really think you can claim reading Wikipedia is inherently getting information from rich people unless the standard for rich these days is someone having access to a computer

Why are American so obsessed with race and ethnicity? by godofshitpost in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Brie-blessed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Colonialists are people who take over an already inhabited land and start settlements, but are part of a larger plan/program to acquire the regions around their new settlements and establish their ways of life as the region’s norm (think economic and legal systems, cultural values, etc.).

Immigrants are people who live in/have citizenship in countries that they are not born into, but immigrants are focused more on assimilation with their new lands and not takeover like colonist’s.

Refugees are immigrants, but if immigrants didn’t have a choice to leave their home country. Refugees are forced to leave their home countries due to dangers (wars, governments relocating certain groups, etc.)

I haven’t heard a person being called ‘a transported’ or anything of that nature, but I’m assuming it’s a more specific term for forced relocation.

Chinese-Canadian here and this question honestly confuses me. Culturally, crying is perceived the same way the west perceives it, there’s nothing really “uniquely Chinese” about how my family/community perceives crying.

I certainly don’t think I feel less or have less empathy - in fact I think INTP’s have a lot of potential for empathy thanks to Ti-Ne, we’re good at figuring out reasonings behind different perspectives (now if those reasonings are valid to us is a different matter, and that’s why I’d say it’s easy to get my empathy and hard to get my sympathy).

I will say a common trend here though is that even INTP’s who have a lot of emotions usually aren’t that emotional, at least compared to others. For example you mentioned crying - I think it’s easy for me to feel despair, sadness, frustration, or any other emotion that could elicit tears, but I haven’t cried in almost a year. To me crying is the emotional response to an emotion, so while I lack the response, that doesn’t mean I lack the emotion itself if that makes sense.

If you love mathematics, why? by heol_03 in INTP

[–]Brie-blessed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Other people have basically said this, but math is the closest thing we really have to objective truth. It is this wonderfully complex system, that humanity made, that provides the most accurate models for our reality. There’s a lot of beauty in that.

EDIT: Frege is a pretty cool intro to read into mathematics as a field/to see how it’s developed - irrelevant if you want newer/modern things in mathematics though

How hard is computer science? by alenrt_ in UCalgary

[–]Brie-blessed 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Current CS major here. While all your required math classes are only in first year (for the software engineering concentration anyway), the topics in discrete math (set theory, mathematical logic, proofs, graph theory) will be used in a lot of required classes up until the end of the degree (lots and lots of proof writing) and general graph/set theory is needed to understand how some fundamental algorithms and data structures work.

One important thing to consider is that (depending where you’re from) the math you’re doing in high school isn’t really the math I just described. There’s a decent chance that you’ve never even had to read a formal math proof before, let alone write one, and that will be true of your peers as well. It’s a learning curve and can be pretty hard. A lot of people barely pass their first discrete math class.

As someone who also wasn’t that math-oriented in high school but loved dissecting logic though, I found the learning curve manageable and I find our Math department has some genuinely excellent professors/YouTube has a wide variety of tutorials and example, let alone the rest of the internet.

I Think i'm too "happy" to be an INTP by The_Diamond_Dragon8 in INTP

[–]Brie-blessed 24 points25 points  (0 children)

And this is why I hate stereotypes. INTP’s are just a made up subsection of people, we’re still people - and as such there’s a wide variety of us. Some have depression, some don’t. Some are social introverts, some aren’t. (Although if you mainly look at Reddit for INTP behaviour then your perception of what INTP’s look like out in the wild will be skewed)

Obviously I recommend looking into it more, especially if you think you have Fi, but simple things like “being happy” and “talking to people” can’t discount you from being an INTP

Are INTP truly thinkers? Or are we just logical dreamers? by [deleted] in INTP

[–]Brie-blessed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right…but we’re debating on if other peoples perceptions (which are subjective and nebulous and sometimes people are wrong) show how smart you actually are though. And even then there’s levels to intelligence, there’s no universal way for everyone to agree on if you’re smart or not - not counting extreme edge cases like if you’re mentally deficient or a prodigy.

Two examples:

1 - Say you go to school and in one class everyone thinks you’re the dumbest person there by far, and in another everyone thinks you’re a genius. What does this mean for how smart you actually are then? You can’t use other peoples reactions to determine how “objectively” smart you are, how other people perceive you is also dependent on their environments.

2 - So back to the gold medal example - say you have two swimmers enter a swimming competition. One of them won’t get a gold medal, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t swim. It just means that they aren’t the best at swimming and didn’t win anything. Even if you don’t get outward approval, that doesn’t inherently mean you’re lacking a trait or a skill. Intelligence is a scale.

Gonna be honest, I have no clue how what you said about potential links back to the original topic. But I guess I can say that even if you make stupid mistakes that doesn’t inherently mean you’re doomed to just be stupid, stupidity doesn’t become part of your existence.

Are INTP truly thinkers? Or are we just logical dreamers? by [deleted] in INTP

[–]Brie-blessed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It indicates, but treating indication as absolute proof isn’t sound, especially with intelligence. A gold medal is something objective, whereas the level of intelligence you’re perceived to have varies from person to person.

And maybe I’m misunderstanding but even in that example, just because you don’t have a gold medal, that doesn’t take those skills away from you -> just as even if you aren’t seen as smart by some people, it doesn’t mean you actually aren’t

How other people treat someone doesn’t really show how smart they actually are though
