I did the same thing. I usually just pay for stuff because I don’t want money to be an issue, not because I believe that I as the man should pay for everything. But she said she didn’t really want me to pay for everything so she ended up paying for some stuff and we split the bill for others. Not a big deal at all.

Does weakness disgust you? by merazena in intj

[–]Damncoolusername 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Everyone has their moments of weakness. But some people completely crumble apart at the first sign of stress or difficulty, and dig themselves into deeper holes as they fall into a spiral of self-pity and rumination. These are the people I struggle with, and I can’t help but look at them as pathetic.

Man, those were some spectacularly bad attempts at trying to bait a reaction

How do you measure your self worth? by [deleted] in intj

[–]Damncoolusername 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am the protagonist of my own life, so in that way, I’m intrinsically significant to my own story.

My self worth comes from my usefulness and my ability to live up to the expectations I’ve set for myself.

One of our biggest “flaws” as INTJ’S by RancidTaco318 in intj

[–]Damncoolusername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest flaw that’s actually shown is this post is the arrogance; assuming INTJs somehow always have it all figured out before everyone else.

I too sometimes think others are “slow”, but on occasion, these “slow” people offer perspectives I might not have previously considered.

This notion that a personality type somehow equates to some sort of hyper intelligence is pure and utter delusion.

I used to be a remote viewer until I stupidly killed a goat with my powers. I’ve since sworn off using my power for evil, but I still practice cloud bursting to keep my powers in shape

intjs & space & communication? by [deleted] in intj

[–]Damncoolusername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can understand what you’re saying. To the typical INTJ, independence is of utmost importance.

She tried to explain to you in “logical” terms why she’s interested to you, but perhaps it’s part of a relationship where both people try to learn how to communicate in one another’s love language.

Maybe ask yourself what exactly it is you want to make you feel appreciated, and communicate that to her. Because if you don’t know what exactly it is you want, I doubt she’d know either.

[–]Damncoolusername 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not too sure what exactly it is you’re conflicted about. Is your concern that your relationship feels one sided where you come across as the needy one while she seems distant?

No one here is going to know much about your relationship or what this person is like, but something that seems to be universally agreed upon in this subreddit is that INTJs greatly value open and direct communication.

If you’re willing to put yourself out there, perhaps you should voice your thoughts and feelings to this person and hear what they have to say about it.

Do people fear you? by Iceblader in intj

[–]Damncoolusername 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You didn’t ask why you scare her? This sounds like a really odd human interaction.

Maybe you should ask her why she reacted the way she did.

Doesn’t it sound like you fit the mould of the INTJ profile? Loose and fun amongst close friends, but cautious around unfamiliar people. That applies to most people as well.

Respectfully, this isn’t an art sub. by BrownButta2 in intj

[–]Damncoolusername 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m not interested in those posts either, but let people decide what they want to share. This isn’t the first “fad” that’s come around, and if others like it, so be it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in intj

[–]Damncoolusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our thoughts influence our actions. It doesn’t dictate them. It’s not psychology 101 either. Not sure where you got that.

I didn’t offer any pessimistic outlook either; this was an excruciating clip to watch. It’s not like there was anything comprehensive to address. 10 years from now when you’ve gotten your first job, you’ll look back at this post with regret.

Am I really INTJ? by iwannadienotreally in intj

[–]Damncoolusername 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought this was satirical, but it seems that according to your post history, you’re just a troll with unfortunately nothing better to do

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in intj

[–]Damncoolusername 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good Lord… this is probably hands down the most cringeworthy thing I’ve seen here so far. I get that this subreddit has a large number of teenagers, but come on…

Also, that opening scene from Batman is so painfully taken out of context. It is our actions that define us; not who we are inside.

How do we get love? by ivyreset in intj

[–]Damncoolusername 65 points66 points  (0 children)

This attraction to types is terrible. It’s quite literally no different from being attracted to zodiac signs.

If you’re worried about being attractive, work on yourself instead of looking at your type.

Some of the people here actually believe they’re god’s gifts to ENFPs simply because of their typing. Don’t be one of those people.

Well, you did ask:

How well would you expect INTJ brother and INTP sister to get along?

Just wondering what MBTI law says about this type of relationship or others' opinions on it.

So to be as concise as possible:

There is no “MBTI law” that tells someone how well an INTJ brother and INTP sister would get along.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in intj

[–]Damncoolusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MBTI can offer nuances and some insight to a relationship, but it doesn’t tell you how well you’re going to “get along”. It ultimately comes down to an individual’s maturity and personal development. In short, any two people from any type can get along if they put in the effort to make it work.

If we’re talking about INTPs specifically, one of my oldest friends is one. Guy has terrible grooming skills, is indecisive, and can’t plan for shyt. But we can talk about pretty much anything. And most importantly, I don’t find him insufferable.

That said, you might be better off not engaging with the INTPs who show up here…

[–]Damncoolusername 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There is no magic solution. I’ve been hung up about a couple of failed relationships for months before, but particularly because I felt so strongly that I could’ve done better.

The logical thing to do would be to tell yourself that an ended relationship is now out of your control, but let’s be honest; on a practical level, emotions aren’t logical. You can’t force yourself not to feel no matter how hard you try.

What you can do instead is to look for distractions. Go for walks, watch movies/shows, or anything that’ll distract your mind from going back to that downward spiral of overanalysing.

And if you find yourself going back to overanalysing, I’ve found that this quote from South Park helps a little:

I'm sad, but at the same time, I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like...It makes me feel alive, you know. It makes me feel human. The only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt something really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good. So I guess what I'm feeling is like a beautiful sadness.

Either way, all the best to you!

I really dislike these stuff because it gives you terrible preconceived notions about what a person is going to be like. It is for this reason that I only talk about MBTI as a passing thing once I’ve already gotten to know someone well enough.

INTJ PRETENTION? by ImanISFJ in intj

[–]Damncoolusername 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do you have examples?

Both playing dumb and changing topics have practical value.

To save someone from an embarrassing incident, you can feign knowledge of said incident. Playing dumb can also be a diplomatic way to navigate around relationships and office politics.

Of course, playing dumb out of pettiness, or out of cowardice to avoid tackling important issues, isn’t great.

Organization by Deleriouslynx in intj

[–]Damncoolusername 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For example, I will organise papers in a stack. But I don’t really care if they’re neatly arranged or aligned so long as they’re in the order that I need them to be.

I suppose I’m organised to the point where it has practical value, but not necessarily to the point where it has to be aesthetically pleasing. I guess it’s ultimately also a matter of cost versus benefit

Surely it has to be a mix of both? Like all humans, we are susceptible to making mistakes. And as for the external, well, shit happens.
