I feel like that. We're pretty bizarre to the Sensors, often.
I enjoy sharing my discoveries/interests, but often I feel as though I bore people with them. I'd rather not annoy anyone with my chatter, in fact I'm self-conscious about it. But often times the urge to share some tidbit of information, some odd detail of an equally odd interest, becomes difficult to contain.
I go off on tangents usually, often themed, like recently: mountaineering has been my theme. And so I learn about people, techniques, famous climbs, future plans. And I share these ideas with people I know well, and to a lesser extent with others. I feel like the detail I go into might be considered "obsessive", however it doesn't feel so in the least to me. And I become concerned that my talk is oppressive, but honestly I'm not sure what I would do if I couldn't share my thoughts. The mere idea is depressing.
After writing this down I'm not sure where its going, or what the topic of discussion is precisely. Does anyone else feel this way? Is it an odd trait for someone of the INTP persuasion?

Yeah sometimes I try to keep talking about my interests/thoughts to the minimum. I have to get to know someone well to get to the point where I bring things up at random, but i constantly think about that stuff, and there's no turning it off. Because not everyone is interested in what I'm in and I tend to ramble on and on when someone gets me started. My mind also finds a way of connecting my interests to everything going on. It's hard to find people who are interested in exactly the same stuff as me.
People have gotten annoyed with me in the past but if it comes up in a convo, I get into annoying ramble mode. I can get somewhat pedantic when it comes to the topics I'm knowledgable about too. With topics that I'm not knowledgable about/interested in, I am not too good with holding a conversation about those though. Sometimes, it gets ruined for me when people tell me to shut up and stop talking about some of the things in life I'm passionate about so if someone wouldn't be interested, I keep my mouth shut about it.
I'm imaging having Ni and Ti strong and being 5w4 , fascinating ....actually trying to being unique make you avoid reality.
But still there is a social living being trying to be self-awarness
It's somewhat anxiety I guess and living in the world of my head. Being an odd and strange fluffy scaly creature. But "trying" I'd prefer I'd think I'm not a pretentious ninnymonster. My 4-fix would prefer not to think it but then again, image triad.
I have to say that I adore the enthusiasm some INTPs have for subjects that are close to their hearts. Even if I'm not that interested in whatever topic my bf is wanting to elaborate about (clears throat... Star Trek) or I find it difficult to not let my mind wander (higher mathematics), I love when he's enthusiastic about things. I find it endearing.
Unless the discussion serves a purpose as in sharing knowledge that is relevant to the topic, it's unlikely that I will open up about something that matters to me. I keep those things for myself and I feel no need for my passions to be heard by all.
