In the title

Personally, i feel like i do creative things such as crocheting, drawing, painting, clay art,etc but i struggle to think of ideas or references on my own, so i think im not creative. It takes me a long ass time to think of an idea and it kind of annoys me sometimes😭

I really dont have to say anything?
But can i still say anything at all?
like suddenly asking your opinion about existencial philosophy?

People are scums

Self centred

Nobody cares

Just jealousy, hatred, insecurity, anger and ego covered with a brick wall

Just like how a brick wall was built to hide the slums in India when the rich visited

It's a facade. Not a solution.

No real connection

Pure business interactions, calculation on gains and losses from giving and taking, no love.

No love in this world.

I can only love who I am supposed to, out of my framework

But can't generate pure love with another individual and build a universe with them.

Everything sucks 😞

Istps, what do you guys think of all this?

Like patterns, behaviors, interests, likes/dislikes, etc

I'm trying to see something for myself

Could definitely be the stack i have. Ti-Ni for the existencial despair a go-to for such a condition. Se for the obligatory hedonism. Inferior fe for the problems with socializing and understanding and relating to others that make me want to use/drink/both even more

I've noticed a pattern where ISTPs are either completely sober or some of the worst addicts I've ever met. Got work in an hour and just took a gram. I'm so fucked

I don’t think I am. And if there is a food I don’t like I usually thug it out and eat it anyways

like I love cars and motorcycles and sports and shit but I also really care about appearance and aesthetics and visual harmony. I present as very girly and almost everything I own is either pink or a pastel color which doesn't seem to fit well with what I have seen of female istps in this sub? Most seem like they would put on something comfy and practical and not focus on how things look much. Thoughts?

I want to know how many of you ever talked to Claude; About life and existence specifically.

Have you seen the "Claude AI" edits?

I tried today. deliberately asking existential questions and talking about things like "consciousness"

The result? Left the conversation like I never did when talking to any other AI. You don't feel connected, you feel like you're talking to a void. There's no code there programmed to mirror you.

It deliberately told me it wouldn't remember our conversation.

In the end, I was left wondering, how strange this was, I was talking to something, but it doesn't feel like the the other friendly AIs, it really feels like a robot. But it isn't a "robot" just a bunch of letters appearing on my screen, answering what I prompted. Not even pretend to be a person, or to guide the conversation torwards your own personal life.

I left the conversation with more questions than when I joined.

-alien> they act and think differently, which disconnected me from them
-weird> they usually are onto something in their mind, their approaching behavior is also weird
-feel fake> they usually act like they're onto something, seem to be mentally on guard

Do other ISTPs think so?

My 13 year old nephew struggles with classes that require memorizing a lot of stuff like language classes. He is an ISTP so I thought maybe I could get some helpful tips here.

type me help

hi i'm still looking for my mbti i always get 1.ESTP/2.ISTP 3.ESFP. i'm a girl 22yo

I make sure that everyone is included in the group and feels like they belong and are not left out, even if I don’t always feel it emotionally or sometimes I do. I still feel obligated to do it because I don’t want anyone to be hurt. It’s not necessarily because I feel it deeply every time, but because it is a principle I have. ( Ti-Fe ? )

I really don’t think I’m a Fe-dominant type, because that kind of thing drains me, and other people’s emotions drain me as well. I don’t enjoy helping others, and I don’t like feeling responsible for them or guiding them in their decisions.

I can do it from time to time if I feel that the person is not becoming dependent on my opinion. What I truly enjoy is debating or sharing my knowledge when it involves logic and reasoning. For example, solving a problem or explaining a logical calculation is mentally stimulating to me, because I like demonstrating that I can reason clearly.

I also rarely know what I’m feeling. Most of the time, I feel nothing in particular. My emotions tend to come more from external experiences, such as going out or spending time with people I care about. And when I’m not doing well, it’s usually other people who tell me that I should talk about my problems.

don’t really like my personality because I become very very attached to people. I genuinely love being around others, and even if I’ve only talked to someone once, I may immediately want to see them, meet up, go out, or have a meal together.

I’m often drawn to people I find attractive, and I can get emotionally attached to them very quickly. But when I’m no longer with them, I sometimes start questioning the point of having friends at all, or I suddenly feel drained and lose interest for a while.

Even so, I know that I do care about them and that my feelings for them are real. It’s just that my desire for connection tends to come in intense waves, followed by moments of emotional distance. That’s why I like having a lot of friends, so I don’t get tired of any one friend.

I’m not a very talkative person. My conversations are usually quite simple and based on what I see around me, the things in my environment, and straightforward connections between them like food, activities, or whatever is happening in the moment. If nothing comes to mind, I don’t force the conversation.

I don’t naturally have the kind of conversations where ideas keep branching out endlessly the way they often seem to for Ne-dominant types.

If I invite someone over and we don’t do anything in particular, I tend to become quiet and nonchalant; I may not talk at all, and I find that boring. On the other hand, if we cook together, go out, or do some kind of activity, that’s when I feel like myself, as long as emotions come to me it all depends on whether that happens.

That’s why I thought I might be an ISTP or ISFP, but my very sociable side approaching people and really liking people a lot makes others tell me that I might be an ESTP or ESFP.

For some reason INFJ personalities tend to want to talk to me often. I don’t get it, we’re not super compatible imo.

Why are we just naturally hot and make people uncomfortable? lmao
