I'm pretty damn good at reading other people but suck at reading myself. I've heard that this is an xNTP thing. Is this true?
I would venture to suggest that most people suck at "reading" themselves, and aren't as good at reading others as they might think.
Yes, in the sense that we can at times be really blind at our own traits and weaknesses. This is something we can learn from and improve on though. Not all is lost.
For me, a healthy (some might say unhealthy) dose of self-mockery keeps me straight and allows me to look at myself from other peoples perspectives.
Why is it, do you find?

How about the ISTP/INTP curse?

Who was this comment directed at?
Ohh..why do you say you're not good at reading yourself?
I can't look inside myself. It's almost like I have to watch videos of myself or talk to others about what I am really like in order to know who I really am. It's pretty strange.

Yeah, I'm the same. It's really hard for me to figure out what I want or how I feel about things. And when I told that to my Fi-dom sister she looked at me like I was an alien, haha.

What do you mean by "reading yourself"? Do you mean you have trouble understanding yourself? Or, do you mean you have trouble perceiving what is happening internally? Or, do you mean you have trouble predicting your mental states?
I mean like, it's hard for me to understand what I want in life, what beliefs I have, and who I really am inside.
Why do you feel like you need to understand? Do you feel isolated?
No, a lot of it has to do with moral values. It's like I have no clue what I believe. It's not like an Fi user who easily knows what they believe and easily make their own system you know? My morals change with whomever I am around. It is strange.
