Annoying Things ISTPs Say And Do

Annoying Things ISTPs Say And Do. ISTP Most Annoying Traits - we all have annoying traits. There are amazing gifts we have that we shouldn't try to change, and there are also some edges that need refined. In this series... we're focusing on the edges.... with a fun tongue-in-cheek title.

✨ "We are all works of art and artists working on ourselves." ✨

I LOVE ISTPs! Garrett has so many bromances with ISTPs 😂 Before moving, my best friend was an ISTP, and she's the Bomb. I love how principled ISTPs are and how much responsibility they take for themselves. Radical responsibility and it's refreshing.

When you were talking about it being difficult to get an ISTP to go out and do something they enjoy, I felt that. Its hard to explain, but i would rather be content than happy. Happiness is just another emotion. Id rather be this than this /\/\/\/\

ISTP's are born just one traumatic incident away from being serial killers.

[darlenezanoria]

As an ISTP female I love dark humor the darker the better, people tend to get offended like come on it’s a joke no need to put in emotions into it 😂

[Theadventurewarrior]

The codependancy part spoke to me as an istp. I ended a relationship cus I started extending too much responsibility over my partner who was in a bad place and wouldn't take care of themselves, which became too much of a burden in the long run. I find the damsel in distress traits alluring cus they allow me to lean into being the rock of a relationship. Feeling strong and respected for the strenghts I bring and my ability to fix things is something I like. Moving forward, I think I need to understand a partner can appreciate what I bring without being weak themselves. Us istps are probably at our happiest with partners that are independent and capabel, so we don't feel trapped by their i insecurities and they don't feel like we underestimate/over-help them.

I think it's mistaken to believe that STPs don't enjoy it when our jokes make people uncomfortable.

It may not be our calculated intention, but if it happens, it entertains us.

[eliannahankin]

I think I might be high Ti because, as a female, even if the joke is sexual, I laugh because it’s funny. Later someone usually explains to me why the joke was offensive. It takes a lot to offend me because I make fun of myself a lot.

[donnafiori]

i swore i was ISTP but test as INTP. the biggest thing that has confused me and makes me feel i really am ISTP is my high athletism. it has totally made it more clear to me the way you explain it that i am indeed an ISTP, but in an unhealthy mode...put on weight, pessimistic, dissociate, use alcohol....all of it. and the whole time i'm in dispair because i'm not in my right body...i try to explain it to people, but i don't think they really get it. i'm out of shape saying how i'm really an athlete. this is actually helping me gather the inspiration to get back to my true self and i thank you!

The thing that annoys me about ISTPs is that they love showing off their gun collection, but won't let you play with them 😑

[mirinae_]

Watched this last night and laughed so hard this morning when I used the word carpet knife and my ISTP boyfriend corrects me using this Finnish word that’s probably the most accurate term for the knife but no one really uses it. 😅

[OnslaughtSister]

Female ISTP here. I would totally make that Dolly Parton joke, and probably have. I just say things, and don't have a really complex censor. That being said, I know enough to try to avoid certain types of things with certain groups of people. Basically, I assume that every person not in my small friend group is overly sensitive, incredibly PC, etc. This avoids huge issues. I rarely get why people are super sensitive about a lot of these things, but it doesn't mean I can't accept that this is a fact and try to be mindful of it.

[allenwilson]

Thank you, Alexis for another wonderful video.

I definitely have the "feature" of an ISTP to where I have to point out when people are doing it "wrong" or not according to a procedure that is not flawed in any way. The rules that make sense are paramount to an ISTP like myself, and I do sometimes try to reinforce that rule because it just makes logical sense and trying to skirt it could end up in injury or the other person getting fired. This is all workplace behavior I'm describing. I tend not to skirt the rules if they make logical sense, otherwise, I'm just not going to do it. Why stop at a stop sign when there aren't any other cars? If I see cars, I stop as required, just for an example.

[malakashraf]

Wow I asked for it just a day or 2 ago and here it is, thanks !
95% of this is so accurate, I'll put this in mind, thank you .

[RetirededKat]

(For context I've spent years obsessively studying MBTI and Jung's work.)

I've always disliked the term "unhealthy." Abnormal is not necessarily unhealthy.

I grew up spending time with friends who weren't into sports or things like that, so I ended up spending a lot of time poring over DnD character sheets and video games. I do *like* sports but I'd rather hang out inside and play a mechanically intense character in a fighting game, or find 10 different ways to sort my Magic cards before throwing them back in a pile.

As I developed, I ended up with a preference for Ni (as far as I can tell) over Se. Not in the "looping" sense, which I've experienced for sure, but just got very good at filling in the missing information between facts because I was doing it all the time instead of running around like a reckless scallywag.

I don't obsess over things or come up with wacky conspiracy theories, and I don't hide in my room in crippling depression.

There. My need to be a nitpicky know-it-all has been sated. Later.

[Muunbeau]

i am guilty of correcting someone. my go to response is "i just dont want u to go through life saying the wrong thing" lol

[yokkabai]

It’s so true regarding taking on your family members responsibilities. As an ISTP you’ve gotta learn to let go.

Don’t let Ni consume you. Enjoy the present. What worked for me is attending swimming lessons and playing with my kids outside more.

It’s still not enough but definitely better than being stuck in my head all day.

[traditionalgirl]

The analysis paralysis for the ISFP I think has more to do with their low Te (getting things done.). As an ISTP I did not relate to this part but I can VERY much relate to having reluctance to start things so we may look the same. I am aware that people’s feelings get hurt by my words but if I believe telling the truth is in the person’s best interest I will say it.
It is not fear that keeps me from getting out more or making changes; it is my Ne blind spot that fails to see possibilities until I observe someone else doing it.
Good job👍

[WebtoonPirate]

Procrastination is deeply embedded so I just do something like sprinting through a thing. Like just start to do it and finish it properly but fast then I can go back to my comfort zone again once its done.haha

[self_learning_guide]

Anyway I'm really appreciative for your efforts to help people discovering thier strengths & weaknesses as well as making good use of them..

[uhtbero]

thank you so much this helps me (ENFP) better understand and connect w my ISTP dad

[barrydworak]

Oh yeah. I, an ISTP, and a female coworker who I now recognize as an ISTP, worked together in IT (of course).

We had a spoken agreement that if we ever had any issues between us, we'd talk, and not take it anywhere like a supervisor or HR.

We had a consistent flowing banter that would be considered sexual harrassment by HR, but it kept us laughing in a stressful environment. It was NEVER a problem.

This is why ISTPs can find a lot of types to be exhausting to be around. They all seem like they want to have a bad time for no reason.
