For the last three years I've been trying to figure out my MBTI type. I've never taken an official MBTI test, and on most of the online test I get either INTJ or INFJ, and the preference for thinking over feeling is never strong. However, I'm starting to believe that I am a sensor. I just don't believe that I'm an intuitive, and I believe my personal interest are throwing my test results off.
I don't think I'm an INTJ or INFJ because I don't understand how dominant Ni works. Most websites just talk about it being "mystical" and "psychic", and they never go into depth about how dominant Ni actually WORKS. Whenever I go on to MBTI subs on reddit, the people there type me as an ISFJ or ISFP, because they say I'm not "deep" enough to be an intuitive. At this point I'm done with Reddit's MBTI communities, because all they talk about is pop culture and romance.
Before I left reddit, I lurked on some of their MBTI subs. I mostly lurked on the Ixxx subs. After looking at r/ISTJ, r/INTJ, r/ISTP, and r/INTP, I've crossed out the possibility of me being IXTJ or IXTP. r/ISFP and r/ISFJ seem pretty laid back and comfortable, though the subs are barely in use. When I lurk on the INFJ I can relate to several of the users there, but when I lurk on the INFP sub I feel as though I'm walking on eggshells, eventhough I'm not commenting on the sub.
In terms of being "deep", I feel as though I don't present myself in a very deep manner. I get the feeling that I give off a very absent-minded or ditzy vibe, since I'm extremely shy and I don't share my thoughts with the outer world. My inner life, though, is extremely deep. I think, feel, and analyze thoughts and emotions on an intense level.
I don't know if I can type myself anymore. I'm not sure if I have an accurate representation of myself, and I don't know how others perceive me. I feel as though I know my thoughts and feelings and why I think the way I do, but I don't know who I really am. It's as if I'm trying to mold myself in to an "idea woman" that society has told me is great, but I'm failing at it. It's gotten to the point that I no longer know my true self. I've tried so hard throughout my 21 years of living to fit in with my peers, but I've always felt like I can't relate to most people. For some reason, I've always attracted those who are considered the "outsiders": The troubled kids at school would confine in me, the "eccentric" and/or "future intellectual" kids thought I was interesting, and the "bad boys" wanted my mind, spirit, and body. I feel soulless, and as if I have no true identity.

I don't know what my type is. If someone would like to ask questions, it will be appreciated, as I don't think that making a list of my personality traits is helping me type myself.
