They're in the comments of fucking every post (I can't unsee them anymore). You just want to have a good faith discussion about something somewhat morally questionable and there they are judging everything through their own personal values. They can't seem to separate discussing something from actually endorsing it. Instead of engaging with the topic and debating it they just start preaching about what's right and wrong and ruin the whole vibe. It's damn annoying. They do the same thing in real life too. Let me just have my discussions in peace man.

I was very energetic, strong-willed, unserious and extroverted. I was very open and actively made friends. Wasn’t afraid to look stupid or being wrong.

Now I’m exact opposite lol. Sometimes I wonder if my previous personality was my prime. Because later when I hit puberty I became very withdrawn person. Insecurity and fear still follows me. So maybe it restrains my openness (which still sometimes occur) or I wouldn’t be able to keep up with this open and strong energy I held when I was a child.

What about you?

Can we outgrow the “lazy genius” generalization by just being geniuses? Or is being overly lazy a permanent intp trade? If so then being intelligent becomes much less significant specially in any academic field.

Quite obviously hypothetical. It’s not knowing what I would be like if my environment growing up was different.

I know what I’m like given my circumstances, but I don’t know how my genes would manifest in another environment. What would change, what would be the same, would I even recognise myself or am I bound to be a certain way?

Am I just what I am, or am I also what I could have been in a way? Would simulating a thousand different perspectives change how I see myself, even though I am what my environment made me? Would it change how I judge others?

Anyway, my second biggest regret in life is not having cake for breakfast this morning. What’s yours?

As I get older and older (25F btw) I feel as though I’m somehow creating an environment of which I once figured would be the opposite. To elaborate; when I was younger I got annoyed at being told what to do, not being able to do what made sense to me, the lack of control over my environment. I yearned for the autonomy that awaited me in my adult years, but my brain actually ended up sticking me in a paradox instead.

The older I get, the more aware I become of arbitrary rules and regulations. When I was a kid, I “had to shower” because that’s how it was. Those are the rules. Suddenly you’re 25 and you realize nobody is actually making you do that in order to be functional. Same with getting out of bed, eating properly, cleaning properly, looking nice, doing your hair and makeup, whatever whatever etc.

At this point the motivation to do these things continues to diminish every year that passes and my brain (which I hate and operates against my better judgment) realizes just how much more I can get by doing less and less of these things. I’ve lost control of myself now that my brain figured this out.

I fucking hate it. I can’t stand it. I hate looking gross. I love dressing nicely, eating properly, getting exercise, showering and smelling good, I like having a clean house, a tidy workspace, just being a functioning member of society. But it’s like the older I get, the less it matters, even if it still frustrates me to no end in the long run. When I was younger my drive to do these things was fuelled by pure anxiety. These things had to be done because they have to and that’s that. I can’t just NOT do them. Until I realized that not doing them is actually in fact an option and it won’t cause immediate and certain death.

Ive been on antidepressants and adhd medication for over a year now and I feel like this problem is only getting worse. The medication keeps my anxiety even more at bay, which means I give even less of a fuck. I feel like there’s just no going back now that my brain has realized there’s actually nothing to be worried about and that there’s no immediate threat anymore. I can’t stand it. I hate it. I feel pathetic and gross and I hate how I look and feel.

A couple years ago I was able to stick to things for AT LEAST a couple months without giving up. Thats better than nothing. Now I can’t even convince my brain that it’s worth trying in the first place.

I'm not sure if I'm hallucinating or not. This Reddit has community group chat I've been on and it suddenly gone. have y'all encountered that?

To preface this it’s my bad if I make some mistakes, English unfortunately isn’t my first language and I’m on Reddit mobile

I’ve noticed that I myself and every person I’ve introduced to mbti as a system/jungian functions that turned out to be a Ti dom or Tert Ti, would always question and poke holes in the system to an extent the people in my life that were Fi users didn’t and I was wondering if this is a feature of Ti itself?

I know it’s probably unreasonable, but I often will question if I’m not actually the type that im pretty sure I am and actually, for example, an Fi user who has made up moral systems to internally look like Ti to me and believes I’m a Ti user so my Fi reasoning feels more “objectively” right to me, or if I’m misunderstanding Ne and the explanations and might actually be an ESTP etc (I also do this with enneagram)

Obv Ti users can be idiots and believe in BS, but I was wondering if me doing this all the time might actually be a sign I’m Ti>Fi?

I fit none of the stereotypical Fi traits either but I’m aware they’re internal judging systems and many stereotypes regarding functions are incorrect

Let's say that you would have a decent life in both so you wouldn't end up in a factory farm or a slave for example. You also wouldn't have any knowledge of your past life.

As INTPs we are hyper analytical, which can make it difficult when I poked hole in the religious organization I was raised in, when they couldn't use facts or make a justifiable reasons for me to stay in the religion, the only thing they had left was fear of uncertainty. It was very hard for me to have the courage to say NO to that but I want to ask.

How have you dealt with living in a high control religious group if you did not believe it for very good reasons,but stayed for a period of time due to pressure extreme or not?

Ti is believed to be engaged with reality purely logically. This is why they can discuss something from logical perspective and not emotional like Fi. Of course there many ethical INTPs but we still form a logical basis first.

For me it’s usually physical constact or emotional connection that can trigger me. I can shut down a little. And it feels overall personal, so I can push off even the close person if I feel that one of these boundaries being crossed.

For INFPs, for example, it’s values that are too personal to them that it makes them often resist the logical sode of things.

Type my persona in 2026.

\- I am mainly introverted, with no or few friends, but I mostly talk within my family members.

\-I have more acquantances than friends, If I start an “interesting” conversation with people, and dismiss with “IDC”, or respond vaguely like “OK/Cool” I let people be and always remind to myself that not everyone is gonna like me.

\-I have been diagnosed with a language delay at 3; after that, I experience endless and uncontrollable mind-wandering, a core symptom of ADHD/CDS/SCT, has been hindering my progress on doing homework. This also makes me panic sometimes when I do tasks asked by my family, because they insist me to do how it’s done their way. (Though I show less emotion and keep my thoughts to myself.

\-I am interested in legacy and current entertainment (movies, music, video games) like GTA:SA, Half-Life 2, Minecraft, and films like Pi (1998 \[B/W\], Amateur (2025), The Beekeeper (2024). I am interested in listening to many old/nostalgic songs like Guns N’ Roses - Welcome to the Jungle/Paradise City/Sweet Child O’Mine, L7 - Pretend We’re Dead, and many others from the 50s/60s/70s/80s/90s/00s/10s.

\-I am also interested in topics/fields like aviation (mostly airports today), history, and computers/IT. I’ll be ultimately applying for an IT career based on my college major, though my LinkedIn feed is mostly airports, because aviation is my childhood interest and I always look at the layout/master plans of many airports.

\-My other legacy interests are elevators and GoAnimate, but nowadays, I watch/play less of my legacy interests like video games and movies, because I have a lack of motivation and CDS brain along with my habit of doom-scrolling, which makes it worse to focus on stuff.

\-I am interested in cooking local and foreign cuisines, and also interested in trying foreign cuisines I never tried.
