Well fuck. Who you calling crazy?!
I don't actually think it's possible to explain this to an extrovert. But I wrote this elsewhere.
right okay yes...i gots it. i think. like visiting a country where you don't know the language...you're still you but you feel locked inside because no one understands you. i get it. i think.You did. The lack of expressing an opinion causes a disconnect between you and the person who you aren't expressing your opinion too and thus making yourself feel isolated and retreating inward more. The disconnect only makes it appear as if a second 'inner world' is being created when you still only have one world, it just the fact that you aren't showing it. Yes?

Sensors are more rooted in reality than us airy-fairy types.I'd have to be an extrovert then because I don't get this. I don't see any gap. I guess you could say there is me expressing myself but it isn't a stable sense of self. There is no separation. Or is there...
That's ok. We're used to it.haha! you!! and all the others like you!! haha no really...okay i might get it...the sense of you is the same as the sense of me...just you don't feel like you express it well...so it's just an expression thing? which makes you feel like no one truly sees you...unless they know you very well...so...that creates the fractured sense of self...but...it's really just a feeling that comes from a lack of expression?
am i even saying anything there? i can't tell. i may have just gone in a circle spewing words with no meaning...shit sorry about that.
It's a huge overhead to translate what goes on in our heads into a language that makes sense to anyone else. That's why it's so exhausting.
Is that why you keep changing your type?I love having an excuse not to explain my actions.

It's not that I can't express myself. It's that y'all aren't able to understand my awesomeness.
Seriously though. Much of an INTPs world is non-verbal. It's a huge overhead to translate what goes on in our heads into a language that makes sense to anyone else. That's why it's so exhausting.

Something is always lost in translation.okay no...really i totally get that. i feel that way about fi stuff i think...they haven't invented words for a lot of that yet...it seems....whatever..
takes too much energy to try and explain it because it is just so complex and intricate and you often feel it's just too much to get into...too many words when most people want short answers...or what?
Yes. Because we are the awesomest.right yeah there are things i feel that way about too....but i guess possibly inxx's feel that way more?

It feels like a waste of time to discuss stuff. You could just as well keep your mouth shut, listen, read, think, draw, write and make up your own mind. I suppose that makes me an introvert as much as anything.
Discussing and asking questions is a waste when you could just keep quiet and understand.
