do you guys ever feel like the world is just a simulation

i feel like the world is just a simulation when i close my eyes, and i see pinkish purple cubes flashing in the black background, or when i get my anemia makes everything look rainbow grainy textured, or whenever i hear that long beep sound in my head

sometimes i get this deja vu and start wondering, "what if i'm stuck in a continuous loop of repeated timelines"

is this just me

+ the flair names are hilarious, i chose a random one i liked

do the flairs each have a purpose? hope i didn't choose the wrong flair

Do you think stoic people are intriguing?

My friends have told me alot about being calm, unbothered, and they even think im emotionless/heartless just because I barely have any reaction towards anything. They called me stoic and I asked them if it's a bad thing, they asked me how could I contain it. For me it's normal and I'm used to it icl i dont know why people are intrigued. It feels unnecessary to react to anything I don't find interesting.

Alot have also told me, im really quiet and my voice is fragile lol.

Is this bad?

How do I stop correcting everyone and acting like I'm intellectually superior in conversations?

I've realized I have this really annoying habit where if someone says something that doesn't align with my beliefs or logic, I immediately feel the urge to correct them. And not just casually, it genuinely irritates me internally.

For example, if someone starts talking about zodiac signs or astrology, I instantly go into "that's irrational" mode and start explaining why it makes no sense instead of just letting the conversation flow. Same thing when people talk about unrealistic goals/plans. Instead of hyping them up or being supportive, my first instinct is to point out why it probably won't work.

The worst part is I genuinely feel right while doing it, so in the moment it feels justified. But I'm starting to realize it's damaging my relationships. People probably feel judged, analyzed, or talked down to around me.

I also think I subconsciously start respecting people less intellectually if they don't show much critical thinking, which sounds arrogant af when I type it out, but I want to be honest.

Has anyone else dealt with this? How do you stop treating every conversation like a debate and just let people be?

Anyone else have thanatophobia and existential crisis?

I personally believe there is nothing after death I do not deny that there can be more after this life because of how weird reality itself is and it’s just so confusing for me.

Whenever I am not busy with anything I instantly start worrying about death and questioning reality and sometimes I get anxiety attacks.

During those attacks for a moment I realize that one day I’m gonna die and there is probably nothing after that for an eternity and I feel trapped because you can not escape death and it makes my heart drop and I hyperventilate.

Also reality seems very weird and impossible too and that scares me too because what if life is just an illusion and nothing really exists.

struggle with sleep

i need to know if any other INTP’s struggle with sleeping.

i have one of the worst sleep schedules ever. and before you say “the phone” or “not enough daily walking”, i usually keep my phone away from me during sleeping hours and i do at least a minimum of 10k steps daily (which is still the bare minimum but whatever)

i’ve had problems sleeping since i was a baby. i’ve always been a night owl, even when i was like 2-3 years old. to now, i can stay up for 3 days before crashing.

i’ve tried different methods like melatonin, white noise but nothing seems to work

right now im on 28hrs and im still not tired. i’ve tried asking others if thats normal, but a lot think its a me problem.

anyways, i just wanted to know if any other INTP’s (or literally any of MBTI) struggle with sleeping and if they have any tips?

also, and this is so performative, but i know its stereotypical of INTP’s to go days without sleep because our brains are always stimulated, but even when my brain is completely numb (like no ideas, etc), i still struggle. even when i do sleep, i get at best 2/3hrs and then im up again.

anybody else struggle?

Did your environment affect your mbti?

So I was searching up random stuff like usual and I saw that IQ is up to 70% inheritable, and not as affected by environment. Then I was curious about mbti, and people say that it does. And now I want to get some real people's opinion.

I think for me, it did a lot. I'm pretty sure I was extroverted when I was 5 or whatever.

How long does it take for you to recharge after playing the "extrovert"?

I recently started a new job and I had to put myself out there to introduce myself to everyone and their dog so that they don't pick on me later for being the shy girl later on (that happened at multiple jobs before). I think I was pretty well received but I feel more drained than working 14-16 hours in one sitting with no one but myself. Are you like exhausted to the point where you just go to bed the first chance you get after a lot of socializing?

If money wasn’t necessary for survival, how would you spend your free time?

In my case I’d probably hit the gym every morning, read fantasy books, and game 🖥️

What career are you satisfied in?

I'm feeling a little bit lost to be honest. I'm in my mid 20s, and am just about to finish a maths pgce (teacher training), and I know with absolute certainty that teaching is not my cup of tea (underfunded, understaffed, long hours...and honestly I just don't care enough to put up with the bullshit that most teachers put up with).

Now I'm not disillusioned enough to think your career should be some kind of grand self fulfilment project or a passion you are just dying to do. As an INTP-A, I just want a career that allows me to work remote/hybrid, isn't bogged down in a highly technical nitty gritty skillset, one day will lead to a decent salary, and isn't impossible to get into an entry level position in the UK (I have a STEM degree). I did work in sales for a while, and it did meet most of my criteria but that job is quite stressful, since you can never be sure you won't be let go if you don't meet quota.

I'm curious what careers you all have found yourselves in, and how do you feel about them?

What mbti type do you make connections with the most?

I’ve noticed that most of my close friends and intimate relationships have all been the same mbti type INFP.

I’m apart of a very big friend group but the ones I’m closest with are usually INFP like 25+ people and the 4 I talk too: understand the most are INFP and to top it all off 4 out of the 5 women I have been with are INFPs as well.

Now I’m curious if all INTPs have close relations with INFPs and if not what mbti type do you have the best relationships with?

My intp doesn’t initiate conversation

So I am talking to this Intp guy and there are signs that he likes me too even though he has not explicitly expressed it. However, there are times where I feel like it’s one sided because he leaves me on read even after a deep conversation. He doesn’t continue engaging in the morning and for the whole day (unlike before). I do not like the feeling of chasing by being the one who always initiates first. But I also want to understand the other person. What do you think i should do?
