3 things ISTPs think are normal (but aren’t)

[Sam-bcll]

This guy is such a character, he’s fantastic! haha

[justcallmejon]

That nap part blew my mind. I always noticed my ISTPs sleeping in gatherings but I thought it was just a 'them thing', not an ISTP thing!

[generalshepherd]

I'm an ISTP, if this guy is an ISTP then he's a really healthy one

[Seayouandmethinkoutsidethebox]

The 2nd one is so true everyone thinks I'm judging but I'm observing everything open-mindedly and rationaly!!

[nikonikoknees]

(INFP) why did i never think of JUST TAKING A NAP you GENIUSES!!!

[artisanrox]

(intj) I can't even faintly comprehend being comfortable enough to sleep around other people, like in an activd group setting. I just always assume SOMEONE will demand a reaction from me, and that's usually the case. I'm incessantly poked at. I mean, if someone's taking a power nap I won't bother them, but experience has taught me most people would not be that considerate.

Taking a nap when you're bored. Last night I did that at a funeral. Didn't even think it was something not normal. It felt right to do that and I can't do anything more interesting at the moment since I can't leave yet.

My teacher literally gave me a pillow after I finished my test before our Christmas class party 💀

My son just informed me hes an istp. THIS EXPLAINS MUCH!!! when its nap time, ITS NAP TIME.

Oh my God. Everything is accurate 😂😂 I laughed at everything even at problems. People think I'm strange, weird and rude for laughing even in serious situation. It just how i let my mind stay calm. I sleep at gathering while sitting and leaning on the walls or sofa. People are talking and I just don't care because they're not talking to me and I find it great because I am happy that I don't have to talk 😅 also when people asking me something i go directly to solution. If someone tries to consult with me I don't know how to comfort but I can give opinions and options how to solve their problems 😢

bruh I always be napping around. And come to think of it I don't see anyone else do that. sometimes I pretend to be napping and listen to ppls convos and judge them. plus yea accelerated learning/jumping in is my preferred method of doing things unless I know death is a possibility then I'll want instructions 1st.

My ISTP uncle would take long naps during Holiday family gatherings. If he's not needed, he takes a nap and has no shame!

He's made up his own concepts of religion and how religion should be improved. He doesn't like to conform to social norms. He's so eccentric...

[luminyam]

Thank you, this really helps me understand my ISTP coworker, she is really awesome.

[Elodie_N_INTJ_Analyzes]

How it's possible to sleep around people, and fast ? I never took a nap. I am easily distracted, thinking or imagining.

[iamjmcha]

at a social gathering, if i'm bored, i'm gonna leave and sleep at the comfort of my bed lol. unfortunately naps don't work for me except give me headaches.
the 3rd thing though. it always blew my mind when i hear other people talk about their problems and ask for possible solution when they themselves haven't thought of one. at the back of my mind i'm like, what is your brain for? or when you give them a logical rundown of solutions and they chose otherwise. then they come to you again with the exact same issue. i love to say "i told you so." in those moments.

[ElizabethWalters-ykui]

I honestly think Istp's get short shrift because they "don't care" all you really need to do is give them reasons to care and they will super useful video btw thanks!!! -Enfj

[kanryuseizone]

I'm INTP but sometimes I took a nap on family gathering bcs I was bored and exhausted at the same time like my energy suddenly drained so fast to counter all that social interactions 😭

[heatherbryant]

Yes! Why are you asking OTHER people what THEY think about YOUR problem? Before you even try to think about it yourself? Like, don't you have your own brain? 🤔 Ti bewilderment over Te, always. I suspect, however, that the ISTP's wording "try it out" means not just Ti, but Ti + Se. I do understand why people don't want to act impulsively and ruin something they can't fix. I just don't understand how a thought-experiment causes any irreparable damage. I think a lot of people could gain more confidence in their abilities if they simply put in the effort to figure things out themselves before they jump to immediately asking for help.

[dreamcatcher]

Alright this is where a healty friendship speaks as an Istp when I wanna nap I just tell one of them to be my pillow and sleep and they do it and they are not even weirded out by it I love my friends

[sevoid]

I can't believe I'm not the only person who would sleep in a social meeting, I thought only I do that
