How to speak INTP #shorts

[jcortese]

If we seem cold and confused about your emotions, don't worry. We're cold and confused about our own as well.

[Tilnaor]

If anybody thinks INTPs lack of emotions just try telling them about "your truth"

[danielveres]

"Don't ask for their advice, unless you are at least going to try followin it." THIS.
It drives me beyond crazy, when I give a level-headed, reasonable, logical advice for the situation and they are not even willing to try it. And then of course it turns out I was right, but they will never even admit it.

[kattissmall]

”I can’t prove it, but I just feel in my heart that I’m right.” It’s the version of ”that’s my truth” that I hear all the time. Frustrating as heck.

'The Catastrophic "Thats my Truth".
Laughed my head off there, yes there are very few phrases that make me as angry as "my truth", im quite lucky people have not used it in my presence in real life, would get me into a lot of trouble.

[gypsy]

I literally frowned at the “that’s my truth” part lol

[ProbablePaul]

Someone: "Why are you critiquing me?"
INTP: "I'm not critiquing you, I'm critiquing your reasoning which is something you're doing, not who you are - it's not personal."
Someone: "Dick."

Now I successfully know how to talk to myself

[rubyblu]

Don't assume we will respond appropriately to emotions also because we don't deal with our own in a typical manner either.

I think a collaboration with Frank James would be very interesting

"If they are wearing headphones or staring into the abyss DON'T INITIATE." Please know people, please do.

[babysherl]

I’m INTP - and GOD, “my truth” gets me so bad I hate it. And my family sometimes says I dismiss their emotions a lot. The advice too, my mom asks me for advice she doesn’t even try to heed. Lol!

4. I'm the latter. Tend to pick up on feelings. Desperately want to help. So uncomfortable bringing it up. And never really sure what to say or do. Not good at dealing with feelings.

[JoeLaFigue]

"If you're not using logic, give a good reason why." Is pretty much my whole life as an ENTP.

I'd make a distinnction between "hard logic" and "soft logic", the same as in "sciences".
Systems based on "hard logic" end up not being user friendly and eventually not being used at all.
"Soft logic", basically designed around social behaviour, psychology, and user's needs ... maybe not the perfect utopic solution or product BUT you get the "man of the situation" credit. And I'm a vane intellectual please love me daddy.

[diandradeeke]

"if you are not using logic, give a logical reason for why not" - i am autistic and logical thinking is the only thing i can do. This sentence just changed my life. thanks :D

[giomar]

See? It’s really simple *cries in INTP*

[nickolaszissimos]

I love talking to INTPs as an INFJ, we get along very well, neither of us feels misunderstood, their Ne and my Ni really meshes extremely well, and we can be in the same vicinity not needing to speak a word and still understand each other.

[elizabethlanier-shipp]

This is the perfect instruction manual for engaging with my INTP husband.

[PriHL]

No. 1 is a good one. Even though I'm not an INTP, I highly recommend this one for anyone who communicates with me.
And: if you can't lie then just don't fuckin' lie. Things don't add up and it's very visible anyway.

[olivia-performanceartist]

I knew an INTP that would often retreat to the back porch to work on his mathematical theory. Was not approachable unless you spoke math.
