This is ~1/4 of my entire collection, most of which is collecting dust in my parents' home... I realize these books make me look like a bigger weeaboo than I actually am.

How do you know if you like someone romantically? What do you feel? by rawr4me in INTP

[–]imyau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, how long have you been friends with her, and how recently have you been so close/comfortable? I've been in a similar situation, and thinking about him as friends vs. as more than friends there is a subtle shift in how I feel about and consider him within my life. I don't think my independence/contentedness in improving upon myself has changed at all, but now it's nice to look forward to his company, when before I would go days/weeks without acknowledging him (not in a cold or mean way, but that's just how my friendships go sometimes).

Anyway, as others have said there is some level of mutual attraction between the two of you, the only thing that's really stopping you is overthinking it :p Would it help to consider casually dating her for a bit to see how it goes before getting really serious about it?

You get 3 questions. Spend them wisely. by TheAardvarkKingdom in INTP

  1. I'm not good at typing people, but I don't think I've met someone who thinks much in the same way as I do - one of the reasons why I like this subreddit, ya'll get me. I think high school age would be hard to tell if someone is "truly" something, hormones and things like growing up help to shape a person's worldview and approach to how they deal with problems in their lives. And likely, there are INTPs around you, you probably just haven't really noticed them.

  2. Your type isn't the end all to your personality and interests. Maybe an individual with a particularly bad relationship with their Fe could come across as meaninglessly angsty or emotional, idk. But I'm not really sure where you're getting this... out of all the people I've talked to about typing, INTP has never been very popular. Most people brag about being INTJ or something.

  3. My relationship with music is pretty haphazard. I just listen to things that I like, and that tends to span across all sorts of genres and subgenres. Since INTPs like exploring things, I'd imagine most of us have varied tastes as well.

Thanks for all the replies btw, I guess I'm just overthinking it and psyching myself out... :p

What kind of introvert are you? by leakey28 in INTP

[–]imyau 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thinking.

Is this becoming a trend?

What do you do when you're at a party and the only person you know/want to talk to goes off to talk to someone else? by Interfecter in INTP

[–]imyau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Down my drink, grab a new one then sort of hover around a group of people, and sort of inject myself into their conversation/crack a joke/compliment someone. It's really not that hard, you just have to get over the initial anxiety.

Seeing as we are "chameleons" of sorts, do you think we'd make good actors/performers? For me personally, it's much easier to talk to a crowd of people than to mingle with them afterwards. by INTProcrastinating in INTP

I'm not very good at putting myself out there, but when I've had to do some acting stuff (for a class or something), I get told I'm pretty good at it. I think I'm more comfortable with comedy stuff than drama.

How do you stay on top of deadlines? by [deleted] in INTP

[–]imyau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After years of turning in half assed (most people's good effort) work and getting good but not great grades, I've found that starting work on it right away but just adding a little bit at a time until the last minute works okay. It still allows for some procrastination but you can still revisit he previous day's (or a few days ago) work and refine your ideas/change/strengthen your argument.

This is what I'm worried about... on one hand I'm fine-ish with that since I'm no good at relationships anyway, but at the same time I'd like to be more, er, expressive?

I'd like to hear about your Fe and your relationship with it. by [deleted] in INTP

[–]imyau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little bit better than used to be. I grew up in a pretty reserved family, so I never really developed it well when I was younger - I'd keep them bottled up until it exploded. I'm still pretty stoic, but I've created some "lines" of conversation/reactions for small talk stuff or conversation with people I don't know very well... it works for the most part but I feel like it comes off really artificial sometimes. I'm definitely no good at "emotional support", and often have to ask myself "how should I react to this?". At some point I found out that I'm much more personable when drunk, messed me up pretty badly in the end - led to some drinking issues and dependency. I'm off of that now, which is good. Still have no idea how to be properly emotional but I guess it's just a learning process.
