Short answer: No
Qualified answer: I did not become aware of my type until much later in life and I actually wish I had known sooner.

I've been frustrated with typology communities many times in the past, although some of my frustrations with them weren't even directly related to typology.

I've felt bothered by people trying to force types upon me and rather than respectfully disagreeing with whatever I typed as in the past, belittled my typing and made me feel stupid. Even though looking back on it, they're the closed-minded ones...

Also, this isn't anyone's fault but my own, and it's not even that big a deal, but I've wasted ridiculous amounts of time discussing typology in the past with online friends in ridiculous detail (and it wasn't even deep conversation, I remember one time an online friend and I were literally trityping things like our laptops and cars). I wish I replaced it with a hobby that actually excited and energized me rather than something to kill time and have a bit of fun.
