Introverts, find yourself oblivious to the world often?

[raz]

hahaha that happens to me all the time "so What do you think?" Usually with family gatherings. Everyone around me is talkin about something. So I therefore tend to not listen and focus more on my thoughts. This used to happen to me a lot in college too. Then I got used to thinking up something on the spot when I was asked that dreadful question!

I'm usually quite aware of my surroundings and have quick reflexes. I don't know why or how but i'm quite good at playing sports that i've never played before. The only time I zone out is when people are having a really in depth conversation with me and then my thoughts tend to wander

The good at playing sports is likely an SP thing. Sports are very SP.

yeah just not watching it...well unless i'm at Fenway having a beer and a hot dog watching a Red Sox game Other than that watching sports on TV is totally boring.

It depends - at times I'm very spatially aware + score high on the IQ tests, and then I'm staring out into space...

See, that just makes me wonder which type is the most likely to try to "fix" our introversion.

Probably the types that like to look after people. Like ESFJs

I'm curious how often other introverts experience these same things.

Yes, but I would have thought that's more of an IN thing. Are your borderline S/N?

It's basically an I thing.

Yeah, at first I thought it was an IN thing, but it has to be an I thing.

Could you seriously picture an INTP as a racecar driver? I would make a dangerous racecar driver. I make a dangerous driver. ISTPs are the racecar drivers.

Yeah. I've done a little "race car drivin'," off-track, as it were.

 

[LostInNerSpace]

I drive a 350Z, but I don't drive it like a racecar.

 

[Jack Flak]

I drive a 350Z, but I don't drive it like a racecar.

I drove my M3 like a race car on occasion.

I don't consider the 350Z a true sports car. The 300ZX was.

The new 350Z's are pretty good. The NISMO is more of a sports car, but if you can cough up 50k may as well just go with a Porche.

And if you can cough up 50k, might as well cough up 120k or whatever it is for a 911 Turbo!

 

[LostInNerSpace]

might as well cough up 120k or whatever it is for a 911 Turbo!

That's the plan, eventually.

Nope, I am pretty aware of what is going on around me. I do like keeping to myself, but I am by no means completely oblivious to anything. I think it might be because of my anxiety issues though, haha.
