Sometimes I can't tell if ISTPs know that their awesome or not. They're honestly some of the coolest and most fun people out there!

[Hale-egxn]

As an ISTP, I think I myself am pretty much confident. The only time I'd feel shit or trash, is when my capability disappoints me.

[chaimaehachemi]

As an ISTP, i really agree that gratitude can make me really happy. Especially the word *thanku* and i think for that i say it a lot.

[ecaterinaungureanu]

Your videos did more than going to the terapist. Thank you.

Thank you very much. CS Joseph. You always hit the nail on the head and your content is incredible. As an ISTP, I dunno if it's hating myself but I often feel as if I'm a burden to other people and I think that they take me for granted and treat me as an errand. Oftentimes, it feel like I'm not even human to their eyes even after all the things I've already done. I agree that I have no sense of self worth at all. Whether it's my fault or theirs, I feel like shit at the end of the day. This is the worst.

4:06 damn the realest thing I've heard in a while and it took me some time to understand that myself in the past. I never felt conforted by the whole "your worth enough" talk. I need to do stuff and achieve stuff to feel worth. External gratitude really helps.

Istps wants to see the results of their efforts;
If they help you learn how to walk, just try your best.

[CuddleClaw.]

Actions are so important, “express gratitude with actions.”

3:25 "no one likes a baby crying" - you can flip their cries into laughter by making fun of their cries by imitating their cries in a distorted version

Yusss consistent affectionate acknowledgment and physical playfulness Are life essence to me.
Doesn’t even have to be physical gifts, just your desire to give time, affection and physical attention are food for the soul of happiness

[HolmisMusic]

This is Amazing, and very touching actually.
I hava Always felt Unlovable and Unacceptable for Sure, even tho I am better than Most people in Many ways.
Kind of crazy how wanting to be accepted by all these Fake people used to Matter so Fuckin Much xD
Music is TRULY the Only Thing i Care About, and have Kept me Sane and Alive all these Years :)

Any other ISTP watching these to do as much of this him or herself?

[sandstormz]

I’m and Enfp female and I’ve been speaking to an Istp male recently (we’re both in our early 20’s) and we have amazing chemistry and we feel like we just want to talk and be in each other’s company all the time - I haven’t seen many videos at all online about this pairing, but I have seen a looot of people discouraging it which confuses me so much because I can’t make sense of why me and this Istp are complimenting each other so nicely and getting along so well romantically and yet we’re supposed to be very incompatible types? I would love an explanation to this and to please see some in depth Istp & Enfp content of you can, as there is sooo little out there for these types together. Keep up the good work, thank you :)

[mr.minister]

Great video chase, thanks for all the work you do :)

[zackerypiper]

Loyalty to me is immeasurable. I'll do anything for you until you prove me right and or wrong.

[jhinthevirtuoso]

hey chase, I've been thinking about a lot lately especially about things, you have teached me.
a great deal of it has been a benefit for me and i thank you for it.
I recently have seen one of your shorts analyzing the INTP, and their desirability and you came to the conclusion that INTPs are not desirable at all.
this instantly bugged something inside of me, my NE parent started noticing a pattern throughout your videos especially, when it comes to INTPs.
I started reading your goals/motivations, i have come to the conclusion that i should not trust an FI trickster on the evaluation of a certain archetype, and thus not trust your conclusion of the INTP not being desirable.
I started thinking about the fact that you and your Ni nemesis are working together a great deal which, i am glad it is for your own sake.
But it did come at a cost for others and their perception about themselves, which probably hurt a lot of INTPs faith in themselves.
It also increases your value because, the INTPs hurt by this will be less likely to grow and out compete you.
The self preserving INTJ unconcious is a great benefit to you but it comes at a cost for myself if i did not see through this, i will not mindlessly accept it.
I have seen through one of your true goals.
I will become more cautious and critical going forward.

[ALMAGNZLZ]

Hi great video. I learn so much when I hear you. Could you do one especifically on love compatibility between INFPs and ISTPs please? I really like my ISTP but I am nervous about moving in with him.

[m-vyqg]

Luv ur content. Delivery style is cutting however I appreciate the info and advice nevertheless

[imaginarypath]

Chase I have a serious question: As an Istp how can I improve my Ne? Specifically to protect myself from exploitative manipulation, and to become more aware of it. I know I well always be manipulated easily no matter what, but is there a way to decrease the severity of it? Have you already made a video on it, and I haven’t seen it?

[ninaivana]

"Giving unexpectetly" is what I can agree with. I'd bake some cookies etc. for my istp dad. I still feel however that it's only bringing him about 2% of joy 😅
