I enjoy talking with my friends but I get tired if it's not the kind of interaction I'm comfortable with having to outstretch myself too much. If we're all on similar wavelengths it can be great.

Pfft real INTPs go mage.

My BFF ENFJ roomie is the ice mage.... we've raised our characters up together. We compliment each other really well, actually. We quest together most of the time. I'm an alchemist/ herbalist destruction gnome warlock, lvl 60.

And I feel a tiny bit nerdier than usual now that I've put that into words and read it back, lol... Let's just say that we have an absolute blast! It's WoW central in this household! I guess this qualifies as the social life of an INTP. I do actually get out of the house though. It hasn't become too much of an addiction yet.

Who knows, it could change when I'm older(given I'm 15), but I personally can't relate to a lot of INTPs. I personally don't care like AT ALL about having friends, Not that I AVOID having friends, I have two good friends, but they weren't exactly too happy when I said I didn't care at all about having friends, and one of them is an INTP. It was kind of funny, I asked the INTP friend why he cared so much about friends and all, and his response was "so people can like you". I find it weird, an INTP caring about whether or not people like him. Ah well, Maybe I'm just one of the odd ones.

I've never had much of a social life. The only person I really talk to right now is my boyfriend. People say that's not good, but whatever, he's the only person I know well that I really want in my life. Everyone I'd consider being friends with seems to dislike me. I think it's actually my enneatype that causes that. I'm very strongly drawn to Se-users, and I'm probably too careful and security-focused for them (I'm a 6w5).

I had an INFP friend until we were torn apart over a Fi/Fe dilemma. It has been a recurring pattern with INFP friends; they say or do something that I perceive as rude or hurtful (toward others), I call them out, and it never ends well. It's an issue that has gotten me into a lot of less-than-ideal situations, from losing friends to pissing off authority figures. I'm sure it's been detrimental to my social life as a whole.

For some reason, I get random bursts of energy where I want to hang out with a close, diverse group of friends, MLP style.
