I hate parties and celebrations in general. INTJ here. I avoid it at all costs.

I also can't stand visitors.

Birthdays and Holidays irritate the hell out of me.

[roselylez]

As an INTJ, one thing I like about MY birthday is that I get to have the absolute dominant presence on that one day and nobody should piss me off so they'll behave themselves better in front of me

So glad I’m not alone...I always felt different even as a child.

[gabrielgilliam]

Saying goodbye when leaving an event like a get together instead of just leaving, hate it lol, but love your phone idea, going to steal that for sure

[lisabrinkley]

How I feel about holidays: I wish I could enjoy them, but I don't....

My phone battery "dies" a lot

I hate saying good morning to my coworker's! It's like "you all already know me" what's the point of saying this for the entirety of my working career. I'm aware of that may come off, but eh.... yeah I tend to just walk on into work like it's a non

I'm not really a procrastinator (I'm a strategic planner 😏), but if something requires me to make a phone call...

Fi isn't just about doing things that feel good. It's about being in touch with your own motivations and managing and prioritizing them. Fi users do things they don't like if it surves some greater purpose according to what they feel is important or inspiring.

I literally told my ESFP sister the other day, "I don't make decisions based on what I feel, I make them based on what will work." And her immediate response was, "as far as you know, anyway."

Stop projecting, sis.

The phone one is the worst for me. I can count on one hand on the amount of people I approve of to talk to because they make it easy. More often than not, I find talking on the phone a pain and a waste of time. It is hard to break that.

Im also a youtuber and trying to be more “social” on social media. It is the most annoying thing. It’s hard to be “not completely real” and hard to be or sound excited. I also hate to find myself wasting time scrolling just to see pictures.

With every video I can't help but giggle when you mention time because here I am watching these at 1.5x speed so I can get all the info I desire quicker and be done with it.

“If you do what is easy, your life will be hard; if you do what is hard, your life will be easy.”

This is a motto I have tried to live by. Your video has me wondering if discipline is a trait that could be harder for savior Fi individuals to instill. Or this giving them too much credit? Is discipline any easier for me to cultivate because I have low Fi? Idk. Setting that 5 AM alarm will always be hard. The difference is that I still do it.

Haha Social Media can be a pain in the ass for me, too. Okay tbh it is 90% of the time. But I want to talk on YouTube and in my Podcasts and I want people to watch and listen so I do it anyway just like you do. Two years ago I thought I found the solution: I made photography to THE THING. It wasn't something I could enjoy as much as I enjoy psychological or biological things, but it worked good enough for not being stressed while doing it. BUT then "The thing" time was over a few months later and I felt like I know everything I need so I was in the same place like I was before. Dam dam dam... I'm still searching for a solution. And I will ask myself probably my whole life if the things could work out if I would follow my Fi (I rarely listen to it).

[furrynarutofan]

"Birthdays and holidays... Ugh."
I relate to that on a deep level 😂

[bordeauxxx]

Imagine being trapped in a very social/big/close family as an INTJ. Like, the amount of never-ending meaningless holidays & birthdays you have to endure.

[legendzfall]

Team building is one of those things that I would never initiate myself, and dismiss as unimportant if thrust upon me, but also one of those things that I'm glad happened once it's over xD... it's one of those things I am glad happened once it's in the past, but never would volunteer for if it's still in the future.

[mihailvoicu]

Personal chats seem like I’m interrogating the other person. But I want to show off that I really understand them and want to help. However, I sacrifice my emotional feel good not to hurt the other person and never chat with them about personal things. I end up debating with myself, in my own head, projecting the other’s potential responses/reasoning. Then, when I meet them, I just deliver them the conclusion. It ain’t healthy because my models of others definitely have some bias so I miss out on potential info from them. Still, I can’t have personal/emotional conversations with/about others because I don’t feel their problems. I don’t feel anything. It’s just a puzzle that needs to be solved. And I’m happy with this in a weird way.

I used to not like calling. However, I learned that sometimes, especially with complicated questions/projects, having a call (or even better a video call) is much more efficient than exchanging e-mails. Sometimes even calling is not enough, meeting in person with a shared screen or a whiteboard is necessary!

All for efficiency ;)
PS Team building can be very useful for learning what is the optimal way for me to interact with others and also for them to interact with you. Thus, it improves communication efficiency down the road.
