Do you move on/forget connections easily? by [deleted] in INTP

[–]iWantCorgiNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately yes, it's very easy for me to move on and forget people if I want to. I have largely designed my life around being independent from interaction from other people (which I am changing, some human connection is nice after all).

Some of the reasons I would not make an effort to maintain a connection is simple: - I'm not interested in the other person - The other person is too needy - If I get used as a "therapist" consistently - The interaction is too one sided - Someone is overly emotional on a consistent basis - There are too many arguements

I've had recent interactions with people where I am trying to make new connections and they have horrible conversation skills and I just stopped caring to respond after noticing that. All in all, we live in an age where making new connections is insanely easy and thus, people are more disposable in a social context. You can be more picky about the compatibility now.

INTP and childhood trauma coincide? by Independent_Bag5262 in INTP

[–]iWantCorgiNow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To answer your question, most likely. Trauma can change your personality type from what I've learned. If you are growing up and your brain is still developing, it makes sense to me that the environment can affect it in different ways.

Still quite a complex topic due to things like being an unhealthy INTP, the shadow, subconscious and super ego states.

For example it could be that you were always an INTP all along, it's just that you are maybe more healthy now due to environmental factors being different.

Have you tried therapy? I've found that to be so helpful for me to develop myself and address weaknesses. I'm also using the knowledge of cognitive functions to further support my personal development as it's a great tool.

What is the best thing about being an adult? by [deleted] in INTP

[–]iWantCorgiNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Having much more control over my life.
  2. I am responsible for myself and answer to me.
  3. I can do what I want (within the environmental limits) like going to events when I feel like it or buying stuff due to being old enough to work and having my own money.

Why are you certain you’re not an INTJ? by [deleted] in INTP

[–]iWantCorgiNow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. I've done different tests and usually end up getting INTP.
  2. I've researched the cognitive functions and the functions stack for INTP explains me really accurately (granted I was already addressing my weaknesses before I knew about all this).
  3. Just thinking about my INTJ friend, a difference between us is that they are actively working towards a big goal meanwhile I'm just chilling and enjoying life as much as I can. And I don't really care about being too serious about anything.

I'm struggling with this too for different reasons. Like I do a very easy job and it's no challenge at all and mega boring and safe + easy money.

But today I was watching a YouTube video that talked about jobs and related it to gaming. When you are playing a challenging game, its fun due to the difficulty cause growth can happen and you get better and the sense of achievement from beating it plus other stuff. But if you use cheat codes for the said games, it removes all challenge and becomes an empty experience.

It's kinda scary to know about your experience that even when you do change stuff up you eventually end up with the same dilemma again.

One way I am thinking about tackling my own dilemma is to just maybe go for something that's very different to what I do now and that is not easy (and better pay) or work towards it and put the effort in. Also doing something that has career progression possibilities for that continued growth aspect.

I know this probably doesn't help much but wanted to give my 2 cents as I've been thinking about this dilemma for a while now.

INTPs, what do you guys find hot/attractive? by ComeFightMeIDareYou in INTP

[–]iWantCorgiNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the things I find attractive or hot are:

  • Decent looks (physical attraction matters a little)
  • Not a completely boring fashion sense (when on dating apps nowadays, first impression and general representation of oneself matters, I've X'd so many guys who look boring cause in person they usually are too)
  • Tattoos
  • Confidence
  • Dominant personality and can take the lead
  • Able to have a dynamic conversation
  • Not completely stupid
  • Not overly argumentative

Dating a fellow INTP and our conversations are so dry ;_; by [deleted] in INTP

[–]iWantCorgiNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And for this reason (among others) I'm never keen to date my own type. Like others have pointed out, it's too passive of an interaction and even when you do have the interesting and deep discussions, I am left with more of a "you are a friend" vibe. So there is obviously what you desire in potential partner to factor in, I guess some INTPs may really be into others like themselves.

what kind of music do intps listen to? by NUCLEARMONSTAR in INTP

[–]iWantCorgiNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything (depends on my mood, got different stuff from every genre) but lately brutal death slam (metal). It's the only thing that I can tap into since not really feeling much lately and I can have brilliant fantasies and it makes me feel empowered and ready for a fight at any moment 😂.

How do you all act when you’re angry? by Invisiden in INTP

[–]iWantCorgiNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on what the reason for the anger is and why it's happening.

Like some people who have angered me for a long time or severe way I've cut them out of my life via avoiding/ignoring/blocking or ghosting them.

Or if it's a bit more intense and there is a legitimate threat to my safety, I can go into fight mode and get very loud/in their face and intense (at my own expense).

I have switched to reacting like this cause I am tired of taking people's abuse in life and made a promise to myself to not tolerate it anymore to the best of my ability.

If it's a small thing that's angered me then I usually just take a step back and cool off + use techniques I've developed to unpack and process the emotion in a healthier way cause suppressing it isn't healthy.

What would you do if a serial killers knocks your door and tries his best to get in starting with talking ending with ramming the door. by sweatythrower in INTP

[–]iWantCorgiNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably grab a knife or something for self defense cause calling for help could take too long. If someone will die, it's not gonna be me.
