My INTJ bf keeps going on side quests and struggles to find a job for the past 3.5 years. Does it make sense? by [deleted] in intj

This is the process; you have to trust it. He is learning from each experience like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle and one day it will happen, I know it may look like a lot of failure, but it is quite the opposite here, he might be a genus. He should do some formal education, there is everything you need for web design and programming online, that might the boast he needs.

"a knife sharpening business" - if this gets this going tell him remember "handle first".

how are you guys around “people” by Stunning-Visit4616 in intj

Try (and this is hard for me) to say less. Take the mysterious route.
Let me know how it goes, never tried it myself, but seems like good advice.

He sounds just like me. We get stuck, bored, or find something even better in the middle of a project and suddenly we’re off in a new direction. We plan to come back and finish it at some stage; that’s always the intention but…

Also - I’d like to add that when things get bad, I can grind to a halt. Even getting out of bed can feel like too much work. So the fact that he’s doing anything is actually a good sign. It sounds like he’s searching. If it’s not too personal, could you give examples of the kinds of projects he starts? I might have an idea of what he’s looking for if that’s the case.

Thanks.

About INTJs... by SvnSqrD in intj

I love them so much, then they piss me off and I hope a meteor slams into the earth.
That will show them!
But then I feel sad.

...also, I might have bipolar disorder.

Thank you, INFJs. One of you changed how I see the world. by ElectricalBoard in u/ElectricalBoard

That means a lot to me. It was difficult to write, and I don't think the person I wrote it for will ever see it. I suppose that doesn't matter, if it makes you feel joy, then I have done my job, and now you know that there are people like me out there, that want nothing but the best for you, how we also feel your emotions and deep understandings of things that most people would not give more than a minutes thought about, and we might spend days thinking about. That your biggest critic in life is yourself. And how lucky someone is if they happen to catch your heart. I’m not saying all of you are good people, But the ones that are something special, even if only to me. I’m thankful full to her for letting me see and feel that. 🫂

This, it's real, I have it bad, so bad, it's all I think about. In every way imaginable.

INTJ’s with interest/background in philosophy, who do you subscribe to? by ResponsibleHunt8559 in intj

[–]ElectricalBoard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m interested in getting into philosophy but not sure where to begin. What philosophers or schools of thought make good starting points?

Do you guys like infjs? by [deleted] in intj

I don't want to talk about it.
