I had people including an infp say that a particular entj is scary and intimidating. I think for this reason people give in to their wishes easily. As an intp I never felt this way and also didn’t feel pressure even though they were trying hard to pressure me and intimidate me! The entjs actually look like little balls of fluff and adorable!
Hi, I’m an INTP in my mid to late twenties.
Something has changed for me. If I don’t have any new exciting experiences (Ne) in a day, or at least some meaningful social interaction (Fe) that isn’t completely surface-level, I start to feel like something is missing. It can get to the point where I feel restless or even a bit sick. Back then it was mostly about the idea, a challenge and a goal for me. Now it’s not that easy, and it’s very annoying and distracting because I can 100% only focus on my goals and it being enough to push me forward.
This is strange to me because when I was younger, I could get lost in an interest for days and feel completely fulfilled. I didn’t seem to need much social connection at all. I was perfectly happy spending long periods focused on whatever I was interested in even though I still occasionally enjoyed hanging out with others but it definitely didn’t feel like a “need”.
Now it feels different, but I still behave as if I’m the same person I was back then. I tend to ignore this need instead of being proactive about meeting people or maintaining connections, and then I wonder why I feel off.
I’m curious whether any other INTPs experienced something similar in their mid to late twenties. Did your social needs increase as you got older? Did your interests change? How is Ne and Fe showing up in your life these days compared to when you were younger?
Hi, I’m an INTP in my mid to late twenties. Something has changed for me compared to my younger years: if I don’t have any new exciting experiences (Ne), especially involving people (Fe), or at least some social connection that isn’t too surface-level in a day, I start to feel sick, like something is missing.
This is crazy to me because when I was younger, I could get lost in an interest for days and not feel like I needed social connections at all. I would feel very good. But now it’s totally different, and it’s affecting me. It is annoying because, since I wasn’t like this before, I still tend to ignore this need of mine and I’m not proactive about seeking social connections.
Now I’m curious: how is Ti showing up for you around this age range? What are you doing about it?
Also if you think you have any advice for me, I am interested in hearing it.
Thanks!
I’ve sensed that ESFJs and ENTPs are absolutely the best at persuading!! Thanks to positive Fe and Ne. You can talk very well.
Do you agree?
I am so glad that the INFJ type is not more common.
After being with intuitive people for a long time, the ESFJ feels very normal light and it’s refreshing
There are some types of ESFPs, specially some of the esfp guys, that I noticed they all have such fluid body movements. Like they are like water or hovering on earth. Their bodies seem flexible even if not actually flexible. I don’t know how else to say it. What does it feel like to be in your bodies esfps? I know it’s a strange question and I don’t even know how you can respond to that but I got curious!
Hello INTPs!
I realized that many types are very proactive about finding like-minded people and building a solid social support system but INTPs are not!!! Most of us just live and let other people come to us and choose us! Sometimes we get lucky and someone really nice befriends us and sometimes they just find something valuable in us that they can take for their benefit but never give back. Because of this some of us may lack the skills of how we can actually build a social system that we truly feel comfortable and ourselves with and they can have our backs in moments of need and not abandon us. Any experienced INTPs please share your advice. The more detailed and concrete the better to understand how to implement it. Thanks in advance!
