I Am Saving This Just In Case

I am saving this just in case

how to get an INTP to like you

jokes? puns? yes please

so long as you aren’t making them for attention–we haven’t got that much attention to give

appreciate our obscure references. You don’t have to actually understand, just smile like you do

feed us

be able to hold a conversation, and also sit with us in silence

periodically supply us with books referrals, useless facts, and random trivia

yes, we are often self-destructive, but don’t smother us with your protection. Let us walk into walls sometimes, it brings us back to reality

did I mention we like food

don’t call our ideas stupid or impractical, even if they are. Gently supply advice

if we finally fall asleep, do not awaken us. Do Not.

small doses of affection at first. We are affection-starved and have learned how to operate without it. INTP will rebel if showered with affection too soon

if we come to you, don’t shut us down. We’re Fe stupid, and will take it to heart and never approach you again

really we’re cats. Just treat us like you would a cat

we’ll probably even chase the red dot

inspire us, but don’t pressure us to do better

raise your hand if you are screaming, crying, throwing up, coughing up blood, wailing, sobbing, shaking, agonizing, banging your head against the wall, shitting your pants, dry heaving, shrieking, freaking out, weeping, shedding tears, howling, bawling, grinning like a 5 year old, hitting people with hammers, hitting yourself with hammers, sniveling, whimpering, bleating, keening, blubbering, jumping off of the walls, singing, hollering, cowabunga-ing, shouting, going crazy, in hysterics, freaking out, downright maniacal, foaming at the mouth, eating glass, getting struck by lighting, willingly sitting in the electric chair, giggling, exploding, building a pipe bomb, chewing at your fingernails, banging on the walls of of your enclosure, in hysterics, etc. about Mutant Mayhem

200 Prompts

Not sure if they were deleted completely from this site, but I will be re-uploading all my prompt lists from my old writing blog onto here. 

1. “You said that I’d get to have you all weekend. Why can’t you just tell them you can’t go?” - “Because it’s my job, and it’s important.” - “And I’m not?”

2. “You should sleep.” - “I’m not human, therefore, I do not require sleep.”

3. “I will protect you with my life.”

4. “Please don’t let me fall.” - “Never.”

17. “I wish I’d never met you.” - “No…you don’t mean that.”

18. “You know I hear you talking, but I still don’t have my coffee.”

19. “Do you want to know the hardest thing about having a soulmate? It’s not the separation in the beginning, not the endless nights lying awake, hoping and praying that someone was made for you. It’s…it’s the love. It’s too strong, and you can’t fight it. I’ve tried. Believe me, I’ve tried…but I’m always going to love you. And I need you to know that.”

20. “You would risk the lives of millions for one person? Why?” - “Because it’s not just one life…it’s yours.”

21. “This might sound selfish, but I don’t care about the world - I only care about you!”

22. “Was I just an easy scapegoat to you? Is that it?”

23. “No! Stay away from me! Stay back!”

24. “You must be mistaken - I don’t know who you are.”

31. “I’m here for your protection.” - “I don’t need protecting.”

32. “Can someone please explain to me, in small words, why I’m being assigned to this mission?”

42. “It’s okay to break.” - “I’m not going to break.”

43. “Do you believe in soulmates?” - “No.” - “Oh, well that’s a shame because I’m it. I’m your soulmate.”

106. “I’m right here. I’ve been here all along, but you still can’t see me.”

136. “You’re upset.” - “I’m not.” - “I know that face. That’s your I’m-upset-with-you face. And your eyebrows - they get really expressive when you’re mad.”

137. “Truth is, I just wanted an excuse to hold your hand.”

138. “Do you love me? If you do, then you need to do this for me.”

139. “Stop staring.” - “I’m not.” - “Oh, sure you aren’t.”

140. “I have a hole…in my side.” - “I’m sorry, what?” - “I was shot.”

INTP’s & Low Self-Esteem

INTP’s & Low Self-Esteem

As an INTP, I believe that this MBTI personality type is amongst the most prone to having a lack of confidence & self-esteem, especially in youth when lower functions aren’t fully developed. Other types can suffer from this problem too of course, but because of the INTP functional order it seems that this is more likely to happen to this type than to most of the others.

Low Self Esteem Ti/Fe = overly analytical and self-critical

Ti analyzes and criticizes data in a logical way, while Fe makes sure that everyone feels involved and has their needs met. Typically, an INTP that has low self-esteem is extremely self-critical, often downplaying or even ignoring their positive qualities. Because Ti/Fe is a judging axis, this means that the person in question might judge themselves to be inferior to others. They therefore believe that they can’t form meaningful relationships or make people feel proud of them. What they should do is to not over analyze things or blame themselves when there are factors at play that they have no control over, such as the actions of others.

Low Self Esteem Ne/Si = poorly focused and stuck in the past

Ne considers all of the ideas and possibilities available, while Si uses past experiences to consider what to do next. This can mean that an unconfident but hard-working INTP might be poorly focused and therefore fails to follow through on a goal, which leaves them feeling unaccomplished. They might also be unable to move on from past mistakes which create senses of failure. What they should do is to focus on the idea that they believe is best after considering only the most suitable ideas, and should not let any failures deter them from trying new things.

INTP’s & Low Self-Esteem

INTP’s live in an extroverted SJ world that values, rewards and gives attention to activities and behaviours that INTPs usually don’t excel at. This lack of positive feedback can often drag them down emotionally, and inferior Fe means that emotions or relationships are often difficult for them. Most INTP’s want to prove that they are smart and knowledgeable about what they are interested in, but can often end up feeling ignored and unappreciated. Some INTP’s hate being proven wrong as well, as they like using logic and facts to win arguments. But they are human after all, and can sometimes get things wrong just like everyone else.

To avoid self-esteem problems INTP’s should seek to find a societal niche where they can feel like they’re being true to themselves and that they’re being valued and accepted, despite their unique traits. They shouldn’t be afraid of failure or being wrong either, and should see these things as opportunities to learn and grow.
