[NT] Top Three Reasons For Why INTs Suck

[MacGuffin]

BRING IT MBTI WITCHES

 

[sleepy]

Inconsistency
Irrationality
Illlogic

 

[Pand0ra]

1. Over analysing EVERYTHING and seeing patterns in EVERYTHING to the point where I depress myself and become lost in my own thoughts about endless possibilities
2. People misinterpreting what I say in conversations/debates/etc (this might be because my thought pattern is 'different'?)
3. Feeling extremely uncomfortable with expressing emotion; it's rather inconvenient but something I can't seem to change no matter how hard I try *wails*

If it were four reasons I would add my overuse of irony to that list... but it's only really a problem when others don't realise when I am being ironic.

There's too many responses related to overanalyzing because
(1) that 'problem' is skewed slightly to the P side and,
(2) it's not really a problem

 

[Pand0ra]

Slightly yes, but I know several INTJs. When we get together we analyse everything; they just reach a conclusion.... whilst my ideas ricochet around my brain. Gr.

 

[lillytira]

1) Being awkward around other people/ not connecting to them emotionally very well
2) The fact there are not a lot of us
3) The feeling of being unappreciated or an social outcast

 

[Hera]

INTx women have few role models.
.....

Indeed.

 

[Hera]

We tell it like it is and no one loves that.

True enough. I've stopped giving people advice for this reason (and I just hate giving advice, people are so mehhhhh about their problems.)

 

[guesswho]

Wow so many reasons...

 

[Thisica]

1) Find it hard to express emotions to others
2) I analyse/hunt for info the heck out of anything I happen to be interested in
3) I worry about things that never happened or will never happen [in all reason]

Other things:
I feel quite conflicted about Ni, since while it's good for imagining connections between things, it goes off the rails when my critical thinking skills via Te go south. Hence my need to try to control the uncontrollable But this may not be INT related

1. Being misunderstood.
2. Being misunderstood.
3. Have I mentioned how I hate being misunderstood?

That's a very SF-like thing to say.

Thrice.

Not if the context is just shaking your head at how people can misunderstand your intellect/humour/words. I personally hate it when I have to explain things more than once simply because the other party just doesn't "get it."

Actually it makes me feel a lot better when I'm not understood. It's like having a completely neutral existence in the presence of such people, they don't know whether to trust you or not.

I don't like it when I come up with an idea or explain something, to which everyone gives be blank stares or tells me it doesn't work. Then someone else five minutes later has an epiphany, which was the idea I was just talking about, but then everyone thinks its a great idea. Why couldn't they just understand what I was trying to say five minutes ago? Everything would have gone much quicker...

I also had a friend (ISTJ) recently told me I confuse her. I half took it as a compliment, half as an example of my less than decent communication skills... Overall I was mildly pleased.

Are you me?

 

[einsteinbohr]

now a days if I say something and the other person is confused, i consider him to be normal


PS-we are above normal

 

[PH.]

I always lose stuff i had in my hand one minute ago.

I'm not yet familiar with all the letters yet, so correct me if these are exclusively INTP. Seeming aloof, over-analyzing other peoples' behavior, and being indecisive.

In my experience, I would say so... along with all the frustration that goes along with it.

This forum depresses me
