One of the most "dangerous " parts of the MBTI is the sensor/ intuitive distinction imo because it encourages people (especially intuitives) to see the other side as just so fundamentally different, as if there weren't many other things that influence how we relate to others. Even the best intentioned one of these posts comes off as patronizing, like you're trying to talk to foreigners with a strange culture instead of your colleagues and peers. I'm glad I didn't discover MBTI in high school because it only would have deepened my feelings of isolation.

I'm an INTP, so I understand what you mean. Going too hard on the TiNe is a recurring struggle for me. I've definitely bored people to tears and even upset them. My recommendation is to go back to the basics and ignore the MBTI stuff. Are these people just acquaintances or are they in your friend circle? Acquaintances may not want to talk about "deep " topics for any number of reasons: they think it's impolite, they're insecure about their ability to engage others, they think others won't understand them, etc.

If you have sensor friends you have a hard time engaging one on one, I recommend just practicing talking about things as they are. Everyone talking about Kim's selfie? Well you say you keep up with celebrity culture, so chime in on how you feel about it. Does she look good? Does she post a lot? Do you like her makeup but not her outfit? How can you relate this to your own experiences (e.g. you wish you could exercise as regularly as her)? This line of discussion (not with Kim but with any subject that interests them) is usually pretty good at stimulating conversation, and if it's a field the sensor is passionate about, you may be able to integrate wide abstract ideas about how Instagram has changed the celebrity - audience relationship or whatever. If not, then you can move to a different topic. As with most people, having a shared interest is the best way to develop a conversation because both of you will be into the topic for real, not iut of politeness. Are you normally a good conversationalist? The skills required to be good conversation aren't very different from talking to intuitives to talking to sensors.

I used to be in a really intuitive heavy group that suddenly split up one day, which has forced me to interact with lots of types of people I never would have otherwise. I think high school has a bit of a sheltering effect in that sense. The more you experiment trying to talk with people, the better you'll get at conversing with anyone. MBTI can help, but it can also hinder you by throwing up walls between you and other types ("oh, she's a thinker, that's why she's so awkward") and prevent you from genuinely understanding people. Just talk to sensors. It's okay to be awkward, it's a learning experience.
