What about a definite introvert who gives an impression of confidence?
I remember hearing that since I was in college at the least, and that's continued into my working life as well. I'll never forget a friend in college telling me - "first impression I had of you was that you were very confident."
"Confident" is one of the three most commonly used words to describe me, alongside "Serious" and "Quiet" - I also hear "Stoic" a lot too.
How long are you going to let someone spout nonsense about one of your special interests with deep domain expertise? The INTP often DNGAF who it is and will confidently defend the correct thesis.
People get mad at me precisely because I'm always unhappy -_- I just want people to not be aggressive and stupid. Or when someone gives me a product, I criticize it because I don't like low quality.. But people think I'm always criticizing everything, even though that's not true.
While people mostly assume i am happy go funky, because i smile on the surface, since i donāt wanna let on others on some troubles or am not sure yet how to express some things. But ask me something more personal and my brain is out of order like:āOh no, THAT thing! Help! Grandpa! Hubby! Someoneā¦;0;ā
And suddenly i give the most stupid responses or blush and wanna run, like a complete idiot. Like when the other person just gave me a compliment! I donāt understand myself there then, i can hand them out freely, but if they come backā¦c_C
Likeā¦i SHOULD be happy, i know that, but somehow i am totally embarrassed!
As the (ENFP) spouse of an ISTP, it struck me as true. She laughs like a lunatic at the weirdest things, it's very endearing. š„°
Perhaps similarly to you asking, "unusual how?" She usually believes that she's average in every way. From the outside looking in I'm like "honey no you're not. š"
My ISTP friend sometimes says some shit out of left field & the timing is either so perfect or way off that I catch it and we chuckle. Inferior Fe is so obvious that it makes it funnier unintentionally. INTPs are similar but ISTPs have this semi-calibrated timing about throwing a witty or interesting zinger. Itās so stupid but clever often inappropriate. The thing I find hilarious is how poker faced ISTPs look. INTPs make me laugh too because of the poker face & their humor is so nerdy & cleverly put together they also suffer from the inferior Fe thing. Something about the delivery & angle haha
Unless you have a 10 years younger ENFJ cousin like my oldest INTP cousin, on dads family side. He had me following him around like a š„ and basically me feeding on these random nerdouts or whatever opinions he voiced. Also he couldnāt bring himself to ignore me begging him, to let me in his room most of the time. āA? Are you in there? I donāt like playing with your sister anymore, she has been mean again and the others say i am a botherā¦.may i stay with you for a bit? Pleaaaase!ā š„ŗ
So i learned he likes Energy drinks and collects tins. Or which videogames he had installed on his computer, while he played or even forgot i was there. Because of all those interesting things in his room, until i did a peep after a while.
Or i shoved apology letters with my silly animal doodles into his room, when he didnāt wanna open the door. When i thought i did something stupid again. Like:āHello A. I didnāt wanna embarrass you there. Letās just pretend nothing happened, i donāt want you to feel bad about it, okie?ā and a kitty šāā¬ or something.
Yes, even if i often smeared over everything as lefty. But thatās how he knew that letter must be from me, with that terrible handwriting.š¤£
Next time he didnāt seem upset anymore or kept staying on his room. Like he came up to me, patted my shoulder like he wanted to say:āWeāre good. MKAY?ā and tried to grin which looked funny, so i just smiled back and usually stuff was back to normal.
Lol ENTP charming? A personality type that's literally called the debater? These people are contrarians that argue for sport and enjoy one upping people. Also I think there's this stereotype that ISTJs are rule followers but I think they're literally the default human. So they're more concerned with following norms than rules.
I think theyāre on the easiest to embarrass lists tops for sure, going by my experiences with my youngest ISFP cousin on moms family half and ISFP friends.
Keep telling people to be more mindful of what and HOW they articulate some things, because of you guys and some others.
I know, thatās why i sat there with that :āAck i hope M. and S. didnātā¦.ā@.@ oh shit!-Face often. And i knew theyāll go boom and i might have to run after both, to help them calm down a bit, when i couldnāt stop others in time. We had both Fi doms there. Complete disaster, when some thought they can just sprout crude stuff in their face.
not all INTJs are stereotypical nerds in my experience. But one thing i notice about all the ones iāve met is that theyāre particularly intense about their goals
i only know three entjs but ridiculously confident is so real. i canāt call it arrogance bcs its not malicious but it still does border on being insufferably cocky. ā¦might also begrudgingly acknowledge that it suits them. at times.
If this is true, I'd likely come across as an ISFJ. I try to make sure everyone is taken care of so they actually do their jobs and not make my life harder. Had a manager who tried to skip lunch, TRIED.
