Why INTJ Men Have No Friends

INTJ men, also known as the "architect" personality type, are known for their intelligence, independence, and strategic thinking. While they seem to be good at a number of things, nobody is perfect and in the case of INTJ’s they often struggle with making friends.

"Friends" are just people that want to be heard or validated. Gain their knowledge, keep it moving. We have the world to gain.

We have very long sighted perspectives that many people do not share. Opening up and sharing these views comes across as cold, dire, and frightening to most people. We see hard factual context in most topics, others evade these truths to stay in a comfortable state of wistful ignorance. We don’t like to tiptoe around these people, so we ultimately deem them “mentally fragile” and steer clear of them to reduce damage. Having someone who can content our foresights, spin it with a stable or optimistic recap... are the friends we crave the most... but they are Extremely rare to find.

This rings true with me, I am 45 w/about 3 friends, everyone else is just an acquaintance.

Same here, I’m female only have few that I consider friends those only that I know who can’t drain my energy.

I'd say the worst thing as an INTJ, besides having to present something in front of a class, is being bored and feeling flat. I can deal with up or down, but not flat.

Interesting that all videos about this subject suggest that INTJ’s ‘struggle’, ‘have a hard time’ or ‘find it difficult’ to make friends. As an INTJ myself, I disagree with all of this and would answer the question ‘Why do INTJ’s have no (I prefer the word few) friends?’ more simply and succinctly with, ‘because we don’t need them’.

I've noticed that INTJ and INFJ people have many common traits--good and bad. Both groups are independent, unsocial, enjoy building in private environment... these are just a few of the many similarities. I don't know if I am an Intj or an infj, I fit in both groups.

[SP-lkdo]

I can keep entertain myself.. I can do sports, solving hard problems, learning new stuff and all the other things you have to do to live. Thats enough for me. I only just talk to people because everyone else is socializing.

[andycuriel]

I have absolutely no friends. Partly because I feel I’m above everything else in terms of thinking (I think about 1000mph) and because I’m really antisocial lol I prefer to be alone

[jonrazo]

I am an INTJ and I have too many friends. My sister told me once that making friends was my superpower, I do it so easily.

I wish I had more alone time than I do.

An interesting take on this INTJ type! Thanks for sharing. Randomly discovered your channel through the YouTube algorithm! 🤟🤟🤟

❤ As an INTP with many INTJ traits, we are the most polarized extremes of introverts:
-We are can handle being alone better than all the other personality types.
-We are also the most logical type, logical to the point of repelling most women, you know why.
-We don’t respect titles, we respect the individual.
-We despise following the group just because… has to be for logical beneficial purposes.
-We are often misunderstood sending false signals, usually not meaning to offend but will come off as offensive. INTPs will care a little, INTJs much less so.
-We annoy people because we often couldn’t resist the urge to break your statements and idea into different pieces. INTPs can fight the urge better than INTJs.
-When we choose to be quiet, people will either think we’re weird or mysterious.

I am intj. Very happy to know why I have less friend.

This INTJ female has two INTJ male relatives who are great at empathy and expressing emotions and support but they often follow the golden rule and do unto others as they would have done unto them. … So, if another person is trying not to cry, they might do something to distract their thoughts to either a solution or a different topic to help them not cry. The empathy they feel will often be unspoken in words but seen in their face or manner. They may go away and think about it and come back later with some kind of contribution of support and it might be their best idea. In short, this and one or two of the other statements about INTJ men was less convincing to me than the ones that I can agree with.
When I see so much suffering in the world I want to go and fix the broken monetary system and open up healthcare to the free market in order to save lives from stress and malpractice. Is that empathy? I also do things to further those goals. The way others express empathy often seems like small talk.
When people talk about their shoe-shopping expeditions, I pull out my story of the anthropodiatrist in the UK who helped anthropologists distinguish Anglo-Saxon and Celt remains by the shape of their feet (an article I read last century). You are correct about small talk, but my Dad could talk to anyone (starting with me as a child) asking questions to discover my thought processes in a Socratic manner which is a sign of respect.
The stock footage that illustrates this video is really distracting and I had to close my eyes as the expressions displayed were off-topic and seemed to have been more representative of actors and models than INTJs. Several of the Jane Austin movie capture INTJs better. I’m curious to know if there is a body type associated with this type of brain.

We dont want friends, big difference from not being able to make them.

[BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers]

The few times I have opened up to people outside of my immediate family they have used it as gossip material or ammunition. Makes it pretty unappealing to keep sharing my inner thoughts and feelings with others if there's a high chance of it being used against me.

[ambvurt]

My closest friends and I all took the MBTI assessment at the same time and my entire friend group, all five of us, turned out to be INTJ lol.

[viktorlukiyanov]

The answer is actually very simple: A) We define friendship differently than others, B) We are fully self-sufficient, C) It takes a fellow INTJ to qualify to our standards. (Ironically, if he qualifies to my standards, most likely I do not qualify to his.) As for "they lack empathy" - no, we dont. We actually have way more empathy than others can imagine. We just dont see it productive hugging and crying together instead of actually solving the problem. And most of the time every second waisted makes the problem worse. We control our emotions for the greater good, and as you might know its not easy. It disgusts us when we see others dont even try controlling theirs. And we do see A LOT MORE than you think we see. We too have emotions, but we do not share them often not because of insecurities, but more often out of respect for others: why should I ruin your day just because my day was ruined? And no, we do not "struggle", "have a hard time" or "find it difficult" to make friends. Its actually super easy. We just know how its gonna end long before it even begins and I'd rather spend that time writing another arrogant comment under a youtube video.)))
