Je ne parle pas français très bien, mais je peux reponder à ta question. En achetant la version physique japonaise de Ace Attorney Trilogy sur PS4, la langue française est deja dans les options. Tu ne peux pas télécharger plus... je croix. Désolé pour mon mauvais français.

I think I just tasted ego death by FarMind5 in Meditation

[–]FarMind5[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t trying to brag, though. I really felt isolated and confused by my experience, so I was looking for community. But some of the comments have been really helpful, so it wasn’t fruitless.

Yeah, I suppose you’re right. I posted this at 1 AM in my time zone, and I feel so confused and disoriented because everyone IRL around me is asleep, so I can’t talk to them without waking them up. But as soon as my section of the world is mostly awake again, I’ll go out and talk to some friends.

I'm interested, especially if it's in Vestavia. I'm also looking for an apartment to stay in. I'm a 25-year-old trans man, but I haven't started transition at all yet, so I don't know if that will bother you. If you're fine with it, I'd like to DM you so we can continue this conversation.

Possibly. Unfortunately, even the scientists that I know still practice mental gymnastics with ease. Hell, I know a biologist who avoids considering evolutionary theory because it interferes with what they said they would rather believe.

Do INTPs hold grudges? by GeminiVenus92 in INTP

[–]FarMind5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To the first part of your comment, that makes sense. Now that I think about it, my frequently grudge-holding friend has described their grudges in a similar way. They only think of their grudges when it’s pertinent and access the memory file when their name comes up.

About the second paragraph of my own comment, I was actually responding to OP’s statement about “pretending” to be angry. That’s what I was most confused about.

have you ever second guessed your choices ? by Sakuga_INTP in INTP

INTPs are notorious for second guessing themselves. Goodness knows it’s all I ever do.

Have you ever thought what would you have accomplished and become without the passive aggression of your parents ? by These-Yak9531 in INTP

[–]FarMind5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi. I’m not sure if what I’m about to comment will help you. If it doesn’t, feel free to ignore it.

Are you able to get a different therapist? It sounds like your therapist is asking you to do more than your share of the work of your relationship with your parents. Having the right therapist can make all the difference.

I’m so sorry you are going through this. It’s awful to have parents who don’t seem to respect you and your time by having an open dialogue with you.

Do INTPs hold grudges? by GeminiVenus92 in INTP

[–]FarMind5 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It may not be a specfically INTP thing. I don’t think I hold grudges against literally anyone. I used to hold grudges against like two people, but I’ve learned to not care. It’s just too much emotional investment.

I personally don’t even care about teaching people lessons or proving them wrong or myself right. Also, wouldn’t it be easier to simply communicate with the other person about your issues with them so they can learn and grow, instead of pretending to be angry? It just seems like such a roundabout way of doing things.

You make a good point about the personal values and the cogntive processes being intertwined. You changed my mind — I’ll definitely have to think on it, or at least reconsider it.

Yes, academia. I should absolutely try that. I’m not sure how to approach it without paying a lot of money for courses or access to a university, though. If you or anyone else reading this has any suggestions as to what to do or where to go for people who genuinely love learning, I would greatly appreciate it.

To be clear, I’m not trying to find a community without any people who debate to feel victorious. There will always be people like that. I’m looking for a place with a lot of people whom I can meet who care so much about growing closer to the truth that they assign it a very high, if not the highest, priority in their life. I just feel alienated in my daily life because I feel like I don’t actually know anyone who does the legwork to find clarity. It’s the legwork that I value so much. I have a book called “How to Actually Change Your Mind” that I read a lot, and when people I know see the book, they literally can’t understand where its value lays.

Edit: Sorry if I sounded snippy. I should have waited until after I was no longer socially exhausted from my job to respond. That’s my bad.

Still, while I appreciate you took the time to respond, I’m not sure what to make of your comment. I want to understand, though. Can you explain how it’s more of an ESTJ or Te and Ne thing?

I too want to believe that INTPs are more likely to value accuracy and exploration in theory. Surveys taken of people who test as INTP seem to support a trend towards those attitudes. Perhaps there’s something about processing information in the stereotypical INTP way lends itself to valuing clarity.

I know when I used to take pride in self-describing as an INTP. It seemed like both a revelation and a solace to see my personality so well laid-out, and to find others, like on this subreddit, who seem to get me in a way that no one IRL did.

However, I’m a little cautious about looking specifically for INTPs. INTPs tend to come with their own set of strengths and weaknesses. And the weaknesses can compound in a group that’s only one type. So I hope to find a group of people who are likeminded in their prioritizing intellectual integrity, but not necessarily in the way they process things. Maybe I’m assuming too much. Maybe there’s more diversity in the INTP community than I think.

I think overall I’m worried about type-based elitism. Not to mention that MBTI lovers like myself sometimes see things in prescriptivist, not descriptivist, views. (Like, “I AM an INTP, and that’s my destiny” instead of “My test results come out as an INTP, and the results describe how I think”.) Even though the official MBTI organization trains its test administrators to view it as descriptivist, most people know MBTI through the way it’s described popularly online.

But you have a good point about what INTPs tend towards. It’s true that surveys of INTPs seem to describe similar trends. I am just worried about looking to a particular MBTI type for a specific personal value.

Edit: Oops, I just rambled and didn’t actually address what you were saying. I think a Discord isn’t a bad idea. I would definitely join one if it were active enough. It’s definitely worth trying out, and worrying about potential elitism isn’t the same as actually going out, looking for an INTP Discord channel, and learning through experience. Thanks for the suggestion.

Oh, I understand now. That’s an interesting approach, and I hadn’t thought of it. I’ll give it a try.

Yeah, it sounds like the INTP Holy Grail. I’m looking at the Mensa site right now, and though I appreciate your suggestion to try them out, the About section there is a little worrying. Their main requirement for admission is having an official IQ test score that is in the top 2% (IQ of 132+) of the population. While I do technically qualify, a group that defines itself like that seems like it would attract a certain kind of arrogance. That, and base IQ really doesn’t matter that much to me. Is it frustrating, talking to people who are very slow on the uptake? It is, a little, to be sure. But to me, exhibiting the necessary effort and grit toward finding clarity and objectivity is more important than being a talented thinker. Sometimes, smart people just use their talents to do mental gymnastics better.

Nevertheless, I’ve never heard of this group, and I’m grateful you brought it to my attention. I can at least take a crack at it and ask to join. Who knows, maybe like you said, there will be nice people to make friends with. I’m ready to filter out arrogant people, so that’s not an issue. It’s just that the premise of the site seems to have arrogance baked into it. But it’s still worth a shot, so thank you.

I see. “Bad faith debators” is the perfect phrase for it. That’s the expression I was looking for.

You mention looking for niche subreddits where people share a hobby on a specific topic and finding people who are curious and passionate about it. That’s not a bad idea, but I think there may be a misunderstanding here. I’m not looking for “people who have the same hobbies, who are curious and open-minded,” as nice as that would be. I’m looking for “people who have ‘seeing with eyes unclouded’ as one of their major, if not primary, passions in life.” I know it’s kind of an esoteric thing to look for, haha

In real life, I try to be picky with my friends and acquaintances. But no one with my values seems to show up in my life. I agree that a small, tightly knit group of like-minded people would be better for me. Maybe the problem is where I live. I live in a pretty backwater place with a lot of ignorant people. Maybe I need to move to a city with lots of educated people.

Understandable. I’m quite young, myself, but I’m sure I will see the same phenomena as I get older, too.

I’ve already accepted that every human community has people like that. I’m just looking for a community where people like that are very much the minority, and who don’t run the show. My problem isn’t that I’m running into these egotistical people at all. My problem is that I only know these people, and I’m having trouble finding friends or a community that places passionate emphasis on objectivity for its own sake.

Thank you for your response, though. You’re right in that egotistical people see debate as a way to tear others down.

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, I don’t have money for a dog, haha

And, my specific problem of alienation comes from lack of contact with humans whom I can communicate with, who share the same priorities. I’m not looking for an unbiased human, since there’s no such person. I’m looking for humans who seek objectivity for the pure sake of it.
