How to get an INTJ to NOT like you:
1. Call them out of the blue
2. Show up at their house unexpectedly
3. Talk about trivial things like the weather
4. Ask them about their feelings
5. Waste their time
Yo... Eryk... hitting the holy grail list over here lll
Lol. Agreed 100% 😂
Eryk Thompson I had an old friend who became like this. .......had. # door slam
Eryk Thompson im INFJ and so funny bc I feel the same about all of these except ask about feelings. (Unless I don’t know the person well and then I feel like it’s inteusive depending on their vibe).
carletouk Hahahaha! Good riddance!
I'm just an INTJ watching this for counterintelligence purposes lol
Lol good idea
Me too
LOL
Haha so true
Same
#1:if we interact with you when we dont have to
TRUTH
😂😂
Right
If I had known that before my INFJ boyfriend and I started dating... could've saved so much time 😂😂
Alexea Malaletkin I am Infj in dating an Intj . Would like to know how is it working? are compatible? Or any problems
First time I met with this INTJ guy, I disliked him. But the only person who shows up when I need a help is him. We made a chat group and I told them (all people in the group) that I was sick. He called me and said "hi just go down from ur dormitory" he showed up and brought me a bowl of porridge saying that it is good for my health. He didn't say anything. Just gave me that porridge, smile and telling me to get some rest then left. The other occasion, I sprinkled my hand, I told all my friends that my hand hurted. No one helped me. But him, he gave his medicine for me and said "you can use it until you get better" and didn't say anything. INTJ is the best human in this world. I am not lying. Only people who don't know them can't recognize it.
Thank you for recognizing the human in us 😭🖤
Most people don't see it but you saw it ,good for you.
@@ROYALP100 INTJ sang some songs for me "how do I live without you", "always remember us this way by lady gaga", and halo-beyonce. How can people don't see how sweet INTJ are.
@@InternetLiJo if you ask me only one person in this world to be my partner then I will definitely choose INTJs.
@@liveinpluto7355 what is your type?
“When an INTJ likes you it means they are fascinated by you and your navigation of your human mechanics” WOW. What a perfectly accurate way to describe it!
yes! LJ is like listening to myself ten years ago. Okay, well maybe twenty, maybe twenty five years later...lol
Thank you!! Glad this is translating for everyone :)

We shall experiment on other people to get mor knowledge
Ehhhh, it's close enough. Language, being symbolic and associative by nature, suffers from the inextricable futility of perfectly capturing and delivering specific nuance. (Or at least this makes sense to me, as an INTJ.)
i feel like you're in my head now wtf
Unfortunately, this also means the INTJ can quickly become dis-interested in a friend or love interest.
This is true. People get solved.
Yup. I instantly stopped crushing on a very cute girl in college because of one certain opinion she expressed that had no basis in fact. She was a nice girl, and I felt a little bad about it, but I couldn't control how I felt toward her. It was like every time I looked at her from that point on was just...eww. lol.
James Davenport yeah it only takes one conversation where someone says something that I fundamentally disagree with for me to loose all interest in friendship with them. They’ve just been reduced to being as ignorant as everyone else to me at that point
thecliqueisnøtønfire how interesting. There is this INTJ girl that disagrees with me basically in any possible level but still laughs at my jokes. We have heated debates (As ENTJ I paste my argument tightly on facts) but then it goes back to normal light-hearted discussion easily. She is very nice but I don’t know do I even stand a change😂🤷🏻♂️
this. i can easily become dis-interested within a day because of a small tiny thing
Biggest sign: if we voluntarily talk to you, then that means we like you.
Yep. I will never walk up to someone unless I like them enough to talk to thrm. Now if I decide I no longer like them after getting to know them thats another story lol.
If we navigate towards you in a crowded room.
@@fbksfrank4 In a crowded room, interesting people are the only ones who exist thereby making said navigation easier!
Exactly
YESSS!! my INJT fiancee did this to meeeee!!!
The One thing INTJ's Are Not Direct About.
EXACTLY
@@InternetLiJo this is weird? Why do you think that is?
EDIT: nvm, I saw the video.
Haha I've learnt saying "I like you" directly XD but I say it only when I know that this particular person will appreciate it. I can do that maybe bc I understood what makes me like people and I can just say why I like them.
@@MusicalInquisit I'm INTJ, I currently have a crush right now but I can never picture myself saying I love you out loud, what I'd like to do is have her find out herself
@@MINIPRO27 I guess you are going to try to use your Se inferior function to "woo" her?
You know an INTJ likes your video when they watch it at 1x speed.
Lol lots of people comment this, that’s funny. I do it too.
same for entp (entp and intj = best match)
@@iincisif8599 curious to know if its true!
@@XxCort4xX Because not liking something doesn't mean it is devoid of useful information.
I literally took it off of 1.75x just to watch you for the first time.....to carefully evaluate whether you are truly an INTJ as you say you are and whether I wanted to subscribe and listen to more of you talking about me. Lol...this comment made me laugh out loud! And, I subscribed. :)
Ask him if he likes you, if his brain lags and he looks like he's just been asked the most complicated question on earth, theres something there, maybe small, but something.
Him OR her. INTJ girls are rare but they exist.
Lol... so true... it is because we were thinking and weighing for the best way to answer in our complicated thoughts. 💭
Too true! I will attempt to explain what would happen in my brain when a girl asks that
My brain: OH GOD I THOUGHT I HAD A PLANNED WHAT ID SAY IF THIS EVER HAPPENED BUT IT SOMEHOW DELETED ITSELF WHY GOD I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
*Ten seconds later*
My brain: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
@@cowsareblue572 :)
Uhm... so that explains my silence
"God forbid, the phone call" relatable AF
Hahah but I will pick up for those very few select people.
...Very few.
"Just to talk."
If I am willing to talk to someone on the phone, it is a definite sign that I like them. Most of the time, I would prefer text and I will get to you when I get to you. LOL.
yeah i hate that type of stuff
Mood. I once tried calling an INTJ guy that I had met cause I wanted to communicate and get to know them better, however picked up quickly that he didn’t like calls 😂 (even though he was the one who called me first when we had first met but said it was an accident :P which I played along to just to not make him feel uncomfortable or anything) Sooo when he returned my missed call and was like “why’d you call me?” I freaked out and lied and said “I was bored” when really I wasn’t. (I didn’t expect he’d pick up, let alone return a call LOL) He was all sarcastic about it like “yeah ofc you are, ofc you’d call me when you’re bored. Why else would you ever call” and we kinda just laughed it off but I dunno if he really meant it LOL. I’m tolerant so INTJs amuse me (and interesting to decipher lmao) and I feel like I could never hate them.
I tried calling him again a week after. Didn’t pick up and I figured I knew why 😂 but I had texted him that it wasn’t “out of boredom” and I just wanted to wish him good luck before he went to boot camp lol. (Also not sure if this applied to ALL INTJs, but this one seemed to like compliments 🤔)
How to get an INTJ to NOT like you:
1. Small talk
2. Cheesy flirting
3. Stupidity
4. Being clingy/ not giving space
5. Question their decisions
6. Physical contact
I think it may be different in guys, or at least it was for me in high school. Numbers four and six I would disagree with. Now if it hadn't been for a certain girl that sat behind me I would had abhorred physical contact perhaps to this day, and a bit ironically, she also sort of shattered number four. Let me explain.
She was a cute cheerleader everyone knew, and she did something unbelievable in my journalism class. She would run her hands over my shoulders, neck, back of my head, etc, as she always sat behind me. It didn't turn me on, in fact I couldn't stand it at the start, but after two or three days I got used to it (my own private masseuse), and actually sort of missed it if she were sick or something. She never did this to anybody else, nor have I ever seen anybody ever do that. I think I just explained it to myself that she was very touchy, like an Italian perhaps, though she was a blue-eye like me. Over the course of the year we talked quite a bit, but she didn't seem to have any romantic interest in me, nor I of her. I think the constant rubdowns convinced me she was too forward. I never asked for any of it BTW. I'm rather surprised with how playful I can be at times, that back then I never thought of playfully slapping her hands away or anything, I just let it happen.
So funny. So some time or other, maybe after the first week or two of the class, a football player whom sat to my right, told me as he was getting up to leave the class, why she's doing that to me. He said she was doing that to try to entice him to have interest in her, and I had to admit to him, that I was wondering the very same thing, because every once in a while she would be looking over at him as she was doing it, as if to say "You want some of this?" So he and I laughed our heads off about it. Perhaps it was the next day, she was doing this to the two of us again, so somehow or other we told her we knew what she was doing, and we all had a big laugh about it, but she never admitted that's why she did it IIRC. Oddly enough, even after being discovered, she kept doing it to me all year long. I almost wonder if she wasn't damaged or something, but she seemed very ordinary and never asked me for answers to tests, etc, as quite a few girls over the years did. So while she didn't seem to have romantic interest in me, she was VERY clingy and not giving space (at least in that classroom), and like I said, I got to where it was just a thing and I sort of liked it, so in her doing that, I lost my fear of being touched. Had she not been so casual about it, I would had associated it with love, but it taught me that people can touch you quite a bit, and not really mean anything by it. It's almost a shame, now that I think of it, that I never go to reunions, because I would love to talk to her about that time and have a big laugh.
Speaking of touching, how do INTJ's (I am one) touch? I have been doing it this way for the longest. If I have to absolutely touch you to get your attention, I will touch you only with the tip of my index finger. I don't know why, but I think I do it that way because I'm trying to touch in such a way that it stands out, and actually it's just kind of weird. I guess it's sort of a game with me. I want to touch you so lightly, that I am gauging whether you're sensitive to touch or not. Funny I would persist in doing it that way to this day, and yet my cheerleader master was very heavy-handed.
Also, that girl stood out for another reason. I would always see her at the indoor pep rallies of course, since she was out there cheering, and one time she broke her leg. I think within a week, she was out there, leg length cast and all, cheering. She was so cute dancing to the rock beat they played, and she had this little duck waddle the cast forced her to do. I recall people marveled at how she could break her leg with a heavy cast on, yet was going out there like it was just another day. It was probably foolish on her part, but she recovered as well as you would expect.
I'd say this is true, except # 4 & 6 with the very few people that they let get close to them
I have learnt to enjoy small talk. I largely ignore the subject at hand yet enjoy the positive, fleeting social interaction. Otherwise I barely socialise, so I may as well enjoy 'pretending to be a human' a little bit from time to time. I also don't at all mind having my decisions questioned. And I like being touched as long as it's not sexual in nature. Agree with other points tho. I would also add "be incompetent at anything that matters" as the MOST hate-able quality!
@@youreworthyourweightinavoc7189 To be a growing INTJ, you can only be Mister Spock for so long. Yes, I'm afraid the reason we 'might' get along with small talk, is just because we're treated way too much like a pariah if we don't. I still love to reply to "How are you?" with "Hello", and since my response isn't in their program, it frequently throws conformists off. Another thing. Wouldn't you say that conformists typically use "Good morning" as a greeting, rather than wishing you have a good morning? I think the majority of time I respond with the basic Hello there too. It's just too rude to interrupt my train of thought with an empty phrase like that. Actually, "Good morning" used to be "Have a good morning", which is something you would say to somebody LEAVING you. So many phrases have been bastardized just for the sake of having a different way to make a greeting; greetings are so terrible boring after all.
@@charles2241 I agree that most humans are poor at greetings.Good luck getting humanity to behave in a sane and thoughtful way!
Basically, you'll know when you become a research subject.
So that's why I have these habits
Hahah yep!
I mentioned to him at dinner during our early dating that I noticed his grandfather's brother was a car dealership mass shooter in the 1930s...he just said yeah that's why I don't buy (some brand, I forget) of tires....he seemed creeped out. my research still didn't stop.
@@angeliaparish it's how I found out about a small mafia in my country, by asking the right questions to specific traders I linked their words to a supplier, after some more digging I found out the supplier was a family member (deducted from the fact that the wares still sold for cheaper than market price and didn't pass more than 2 hands) from one of the traders who is threatening other traders to sell only to him, and he is now forming a small monopoly on specific goods because of it.
My powers of observation are so good that I often think I could've been a great detective.
@@Farmynator You are a great detective! It all comes to life as it is discovered.
When you wanna research them but they’re so well hidden, it’s like they’re kinda forcing you to step into their circle. (But highkey DONT want you stepping in their circle 😂)
And how do you get an INTJ’s attention in the first place?
1. Pick up on an INTJ’s obscure, lofty or abstract comment, without explanation. You will have passed the first test. This is somewhat rare, and, by itself, interesting. “Oh, you read that too?”
2. Do things that are out of the ordinary, but with a clear intent. It will pique our curiosity. “Well, that was interesting. What are they up to? How did they come to do that? Hmmm…” Subtly surprise us, and it will leave a lasting impression. We will think about it for days.
3. Appeal to our secret rebellious streak. (It’s the Ni that made me ignore convention! Really!)
4. Observe, and make wry comment on an underlying pattern, particularly about the behavior of those strange humans. Bonus points for identifying the delusion that led to said behavior.
5. Silence is not stony. It is golden. Be comfortable hanging out for long periods of time, together, doing something, maybe separate things, and not talking. Especially if it is in a book store (Where those still exist).
6. Be energized at the possibilities (!), after hours-long, wide ranging conversations.
7. Get excited at the prospect of research
8. Recognize bluntness as a sign of respect. (We assume that you can handle it.) Sharpness, on the other hand…
9. Be very competent at something. We often have generally low expectations, and being proven wrong in this is delightful.
10. Precision.
11. Elegant solutions.
12. Pragmatism.
13. Approach disagreement and argument as a learning process
14. Pull off a calculated, but daring move
15. Being patient with our emotional understatement.
16. And our penchant for numbered lists.
Great list!! People who have just #9 absolutely do it for me. Sparks the curiosity “I would like to study you” phase.
Addition to #9. Be extremely competent/masterful for bonus interest and respect. The task doesn't really matter to me only the skill/drive involved to accomplish it. Excellent list btw.
This very well explains how I attracted the attention of my INTJ boyfriend
@@whoknows4780 Hopefully you are both understanding and patient. We're not the easiest to be with in a relationship. The best advice I can give you is to tell him directly what you need and want .
renegade cnc, ect. Yes we are both pretty good at that. I think it helps that I’m rather direct, refuse to lie to my loved ones, wear my heart on my sleeve, and overexplain myself 🙃 and he makes a big deal out of patience and understanding. He often expresses appreciation for my ability to understand him.
When you're telling a story and the INTJ says "I bet you did this next." And get's it dead on down to the specific keywords.
It means their analysis is complete and they now understand you on a base level. Showing it off is like bragging about how close you two are.
Haha that’s always a fun time I agree
As an INTP this is very attractive as we do that very similarly.
*Not an INTJ as far as I'm aware.
But I always had hard time with people I liked. Especially love interests. I was intense, awkward, even mean which is not common in normal interactions. I guess the thing was that I actually cared. I was investing myself I would always use my intuition and observe (I had been learning about body language) and I would test and experiment I always overdid it by scaring them away. They never knew how deeply I was digging in but they got scared and I understand why I would be feeling uncomfortable too. And by overdid it is I literally memorized important things I captured and wrote them all down as if I was performing a scientific experiment and was about to make a conclusion from the data. I've shared it with my family and honestly they got offended since I was able to memorize so many things and I myself felt really good about it as I explored the 'file'. It used to bring me much joy I felt like psychologist or scientist just experimenting with humans and when I found out about Sherlock it was my favourite show and I wasn't able to compare as much as I might've wished, but I felt bit more understood and less alone.
Ahaha I'm quite guilty of hitting close friends with a "lemme guess:" statement mid-story. Honestly, I have another INTJ friend and we do this back and forth, which is itself fascinating--to the point where it makes us both shut up and listen like normies ahaha. It turns into something comical and semi-Pavlovian--"How to Train Your INTJ" or something.
Omg this happened to me last week, well this happened to HIM last week and my story got ruined, but it’s ok i liked it:))
INTJs ARE SO ADORBALE! I love how they like downplay every kind of blunt, brash thing they say with a laugh or smirk but at the same time they are dead serious. The best. They like know how “extra” their inflexibility is. Ahhh, the best:)
“How extra their inflexibility is” Bahahah this is SPOT ON!
Yes, but we hate the term extra. lol
True. It may seem we are inflexible, but it's because it's logically apt thing to do at the circumstance. If circumstance change, we logically change as well. But it's rare coz we'd have well calculated that too.
Awww! -intj
Also never call us "adorable..."
I honestly thought that INTJs were mean, but now I know they're kind of sweethearts in their own way...
We have ice cream on the inside!
@@InternetLiJo cold but sweet!
@@InternetLiJo
As the past comment said.
Once you really get to know INTJs, I think you really find something beautiful.
Besides...
Almost everyone likes ice cream.
We have a Teddy bear side
As an INFJ, i find INTJs to be extremely calming to be around. They are among the few people i dont have to read their minds, make them "feel" a certain way, i can just exist with them. No stress. I can indulge completely in my thinking functions and talk concretely, scientifically about whatever we are interested in. Its very cleansing. I very much appreciate the INTJ clan and it would be nice to have more ofthem around. Except neither of us wants to be around people very often so we would only see each other like twice a year anyway. Lol 😂
Yes, that's just it. We INxJ types tend to be loners and don't have many positive experiences with socializing, so we don't usually have many close friends. I currently have thirty people whom I can confidently call friends. Of those, I have only met nine in person. Of those nine, I spend time with five of them on a regular basis. For an INTJ, once a month or so is regular enough. The rest of them are people whom I've only communicated with via social media and online forums. Of the thirty, I only consider one to be a best friend and she's my wife.
Meeting people and making friends is very difficult. It's slightly easier if they are xNFx types because they are enough like me that I can relate to them, yet they are a little bit better at expressing emotions and encouraging me to loosen up a bit than NT types usually are. The other types who aren't NT or NF are very difficult for me to understand and relate with.
They are extremely genuine it's rare nowadays 😢
If I like you I will try to solve all your problems, which can be a problem 😄
THIS IS SO TRUE!! Good lord.
Absolutely agree. If I like someone, I will try to solve their problem, overdeliver on a solution then see what other problems I can solve for them...which sidetracks me from dealing with my own issues.
INTP do it too...
Yes. And miscommunication can occur when someone tells you their problem, and you try to help them fix it, when what they wanted/expected was emotional validation and not a solution.
@@far-away-so-close4540 that's the noise makers who make noise just to put their noise out there so that others can sample and stimulate their emotions into coherence as explicit structure of the noise maker's own cognition reaching appropriate conclusions~solutions...maybe?
Hard to tell if they(noisy people) want to be gently stroked into a state of emotional equilbrium that allows their vision to gain resolution to see the solution...or just to spread chaos via making a noisy mess out of the psyche whose nature is goal oriented/"objective"?
They trying to ruin other people's lives as means of "feeling better" in shared suffering of rough, imbalanced and haphazard flow of emotions becoming the universal tone as it is in the negro community?
Maybe they are just hoping to waste the valuable time of a thinker just to see if the thinker can also "feel emotions"?
I'm an ENFP dating an INTJ and it's the best thing ever. He's almost the opposite of what I am. He's consistent, conscientious, and cute as heck. ;) From the moment I met him in the math lab, I thought his analytic comments were just the cutest thing ever. Maybe it's an ENFP thing, but I really appreciated the way he made things simpler. He was always very kind as well. Sure, sometimes he could be rough around the edges, but that was just part of his charm. It is very easy making decisions with him or knowing what he's thinking since he will be as honest as possible. We both love talking about Philosophy, Psychology, Theology, and everything in between- which is probably why we got close so fast. I could tell from when I met him that emotions were hard for him to process, and I quickly learned that talking about them theoretically helped him process them better. I was his creative, bubbly friend that challenged what he did and believed, while he was my consistent analytic friend who would challenge me equally to where we both quickly became indispensable to each other. We ground each other very well and are that support when we need someone. At first, I thought he judged people very quickly since he would say he didn't like a particular person very quickly. But I later discovered this was because they had not "given him a reason to like them yet." :) Nine times out of ten, he would end up liking them on the next visit. I have broken many INTJ rules and he has broken many ENFP rules, which has just made us closer since we've had to work through so many things. Also, we have changed each other for the better. My INTJ found the way I connect to people fascinating, so without me realizing it, he watched me closely. Now, a year later, our mutual friends tell me his people skills have dramatically improved to where he seems like a different person. On the other hand, I have become more consistent with things in my life and am able to do things now that I couldn't have done otherwise. INTJ's are amazing people that often need that push to connect to people. It's hard for them sometimes since people can be chaotic and irrational. But, if they can put up with stepping on each other's toes at times, they can form an amazing, emotional connection and bond that lasts a lifetime. :)
Update: One and a half years later and we're engaged to get married in May. ;D
Yes isn't it amazing how we balance each other? It sounds like you guys have found a very deep and genuine connection.
Aw this is so sweet! I’m an ENFJ with an INTJ boyfriend and this feels similar 💕💕
Holy shit, this was a longer comment than I expected. You really love your INTJ
Eorzat Haha
As an INTJ, I wish people understood me as well as you understand your friend haha. That's amazing.
This is accurate. I am impressed in your way of describing. Moreover, when an INTJ likes you, we'll seek information about you, and mostly without you even knowing, just to improve the way we communicate with you. We'll pay attention to your smallest details and we'll really care. However, when you make us feel even for one minute that you don't care, or that our efforts are not desirable.. We'll stop caring in that same moment.
Absolutely true. Or sometimes if someone gives off the perception they don't care, I become fascinated to find out why. What pattern are they not picking up on. etc. lol
Basically we are just studying the humans!
@@InternetLiJo one of the most heartfelt and cherished moments of my life is when an old college associate declared me his arch-nemesis.
@@InternetLiJo I always though I was the only one doing that. Huh. thank you.
After I got my best friend at the time a gift but before I was able to give it to her she basically yelled at me through a series of long text messages about how busy she is and that she didnt have time to see me in a very passive aggressive tone. So i gave her the gift the next time I saw her, I was very polite and friendly, and then I never spoke to her again. She stopped being my friend pretty much instantly. This happens a lot.
@@saenzasmr8524 "This happens a lot", so true though.
Female INTJ, that's rare.
Indeed. I work in an office with three INTJ females. We get along great. 1/100 for females and three in one office.
Labor of Love Actually, I think it’s 4/500. But I mean, close enough. Lol
Except on UA-cam.

“We will study you like a precious experiment” that’s actually a really beautiful thing to say
"I asked a few friends how they knew that I liked them... what signals I was giving off? And the majority of them said that I was not giving off ANY signals." 🤣 Yup.
Ahhhh the struggle is weird
Well..my intj calls me and lets me call him..nearly everyday...for hours...
so...
there's that. Still kinda low-key scared of him when he reads me like a goddamn book.
- INFP
Hahah I have a handful of people that will forever be low-key scared of me 😂 #relatable
Hahaha I'm an INTJ, my wife is an INFP, and I think she has similar discomfort at times. I don't really get it. Sometimes you guys are literally like reading a book and it seems obvious to me.
@@phillipstai7204 hahahaha i'm too obvious when I read, i let it be known that I am reading while INxJs are "low-key" reading you intensely but like I KNOW IT. I FEEL IT. hahaha. love INTJs tho and well..intjs love me
I mean, INFP too, It’s kinda fun to read other people, specially if you care about them, so I get that.
im an infp with an intj friend, ALTHOUGH he may feel like he’s reading me but i’m actually the one reading him read me HaAHAHAH
LiJo: “time is the most valuable thing”
INTJ’s: “yes of course, go on”
You hit the nail on the head when you said that we are fascinated by people that appear to be people that are outside the norm in their behaviour and make us kind of think “Now where did you come from and where have you been all my life “lol. Part of me liking them is being so intrigued by them. Thanks again for another great presentation.
Thanks for the thumbs up 👍. I appreciate all constructive feedback
Yes! Our fascination fuels our motivation and desire!
Thanks again for your response L J
I often find fascination in people who are perhaps the opposite of me in the social and outgoing, external sense of things..almost like I see the balance they bring to the whole internal and controlled aspect of myself.... it's a powerful thing to find that rare person.
Chris Wilcox yes I agree. It is nice to have that balance to keep everything interesting. Thanks for your response. I appreciate all constructive feedback to my comments.
If I got paid every time people told me “I thought you hated me!!”, Well, I’d have a good amount of money, I mean is not my fault that my face is the way it is.
i feel you
Short version: 1) They stalk you. 2) They spend time with you.
They don't do that with everyone so just compare your interaction time with other people.
Also, Ni in the top two slots tends to be very image prone in thinking. When they want pictures of you or share pictures of themselves with you then they might as well be screaming from the mountain top that they think of you all the time, comparatively anyways.

Vulnerability is an amazing practice. I've been working on it all of 2019!
😂😂😂
I sense an INTP here somewhere.
Maria P literally same thoughtz!
Hahaha I got that once. Never talked to her again.
I've noticed that friendship to me is an option but not necessary. I am happy with having observed someone for a time. I've liked plenty of people that I never pursued friendships with. This is usually because I don't think we'll get along very well. I certainly don't have to get along with someone to appreciate or even like them. Strange, isn't it?
That’s certainly a very interesting perspective!
actually, i don't think it's strange at all. i know that intp guy from school, and how he is and how he reflects about the things of life is jist so interesting, but i'm not among his close friends at all, just in the same friend group but we barely talk to each other
i just know we won't get along, like i don't have anything to say to him. i just agree to what he says and admire him for some reason but i don't feel like i need to get closer to him or anything, i like watching him from afar. it's funny how things are.
by the way i'm an enfp :)
When you get 1000 messages from your INTJ out of the blue talking about their random thoughts....be still my heart!
What type are you? I hate it when I do that. I always immediately regret dumping a string of thoughts on someone. Especially when things aren't linear but I had to express that way(the limitations of text). That's probably why they seem so random. I assure you the thoughts are all interconnected.
Number 6: If we *really* like you, we might even open up about our feelings
If I tease you... i like you (though you might think I dislike you because of my sharp tease, but... why would I burn my energy on a specific tease if I don't like you?)
If you can enter into small talks with me, I like you
If I call you on phone... gosh... i really like you
if you ask me out out of the blue and I accept, I like you
Hahah great examples!!
1000% accuracy
What an accurate way to phrase it. Why do people think joking around and teasing somehow means that we don’t like them? Doesn’t it just mean that we’re comfortable enough with them personally to do so?
OMG! This is exactly how I am 😳🤭😂
I tease all my friends and it is my main form of flirting (though I am not flirting with those friends.. generally different types of teasing or context). But then I would also tease this one person I used to work with that I hated but I was really saying what I actually felt and masking it as a tease. So I guess I can be hard to read lol
I absolutely love being around INTJs and INTPs because it is so peaceful...there is no residue ,if you will, of disruptive emotions.Their composure is something I appreciate and it helps me concentrate,I am sure other INFJs would agree.
I find INFJs quite enjoyable as well!
Their composure and sarcasm ❤
Yes! Me too
Before i read the last part of you being an INFJ, i knew you were an INFJ. So weird.
As an INTJ I needed this video just to check and make sure whether or not I like someone.
Your eyes tell you're an *INTJ*
So I’ve heard from others... is it the stare or the upper corner darts?
@@InternetLiJo yeah, I guess it's really the way we stare. My friends thought I was glaring on them before they even know. Lol
@@mokyodai Same here.
Yes it's like an empty glare but it's not intended to be mean they are wondering about you or letting you know they see you.
Have an INTJ boyfriend. He is the most adorable person I know and even his awkwardness show how much he loves me. In the other hand, it's funny how our strategies clash with each others : we both love efficiency. Experience will teach me how to be efficient while he will think his moves beforehand. That's driving me crazy. "Try !" but he won't. And he will tell me to organize myself better. Urgh ! We always have the same opinion for opposite reasons or we will think the opposite for the same reasons. Which will give us never-ending talks. Must be why he loves me : for him, I must appear as nonsensical as he is for me. An everlasting research subject. :p
Yes 🖤
@David McDonald INFP :)
@David McDonald Not interested. We've been together for years now and all is smooth and nice. ;) Hope you find someone.
I’m INFJ and I love how we have things so similar yet also so different!!
Right?! We are like two peas in just slightly different pods 😊
Me too
I like how the only emotion I express is annoyance or anger via ranting... this probably isn’t a good thing, but it’s usually about being insulted intellectually
There’s probably some room to grow in that area, I’m doing the same.
INxJ I’m not angry when people don’t get things. I’m angry with the people that demean them for it
I like to throw books that have bad writing (*ahem* Fern Michaels), where an author is just totally full of b.s. (Foreword: There is no religion on ... world in my books because I am an atheist. Chp 1, p 3 "Genswelda ran down the dusty trail, praying to the gods that ..." ), or even where the reviews are so wrong that I can't possibly make myself read it (autobiographical story Review ".... is a brilliant writer, who knows how to write plot twists better than .." ). I thought, for a long time, I hated it, but no. I enjoy the outrage of really bad writing. It gives me the exercise of throwing a book, retrieving it and trying again, sometimes several times an hour, and in-between, getting an aerobic workout of pacing wildly, gesticulating and telling whomever is nearby how awful it all is and why. I thoroughly recommend it as a hobby.
How to know if an INTJ likes and care for YOU:
If you have their trust and you in any problem, they will go above and beyond and above and beyond just to help you.
This is very accurate! Me liking someone doesn't mean i am going to tell them or express it. My way is just random acts of generosity that perhaps will make the other person feel good (without the unnecessary expression of emotions which means immediate awkwardness and withdrawal). The best part is when the person in front of you acknowledges this and doesn't assume that if you don't speak then you're just a heartless mean person.
Yes exactly!!
Yes. people like people that make them feel good. That's my hypothesis anyway
I'm an INFJ. I both love and fear the INTJ's because an INFJ's natural mechanics is to hide their secrets where as the INTJ's natural response is to discover and dissect whatever we're hiding. Their fascination leads to curiosity, their curiosity makes them seek the mystery, their seeking makes them wanting to know more.Their wanting to know more leads to spending time on you. YANDERE SITUATION.
It's a battle, a strategy fight with INTJ's going on the offensive and INFJ's going on the defensive. In other words, "when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object".Secretly i like the tension and when both sides call it quits, Put down their weapons and have a genuine deep intellectual conversation.
I love this response, since as an INFJ, I'm not sure how to behave around an INTJ 😅
@@realityex3421INTJ are our closest buddies but they can also be our greatest enemy.Think planet of the apes.Cesar is an INFJ and he loved koba but koba went rogue and becamea shadow INTJ.
INTJ can be our best friend or greatest enemy if they choose to be.
Lol as an intj i can say that equal and opposite is true. We hide our feelings and you keep unearthing them like its nothing. Lol I made peace with it. The trick for an intj is just to trust the infj not to hurt them. Takes practice cause sometimes the infj will say something their ni observed that totally changes your perspective on your childhood and not in a good way lol.... happened to me. Still dont know how she figured thst out she wasnt even there. I didnt notice at all lol no Fe.
I just act like I do and don't say anything unless it's meaningful to me or I'm curious about a subject relating to the intj in question.
As an INTJ, I say the same to INFJs. They are good at finding out our feelings which we try to hide. INFJs hide thinking while INTJs hide feeling. The battle plays out like INTJ points the gun towards the INFJ's head and INFJ points the gun towards INTJ's heart and in the whole world only these bullets are able to pierce both ways.
Although, I don't really hate them coz only they are able to see our true struggle and understand it. And just like INTJs, INFJs also have high morals so they don't usually abuse that knowledge and neither do we.
I see this phenomena online about INTJ's "ghosting" early in a relationship. It's not really ghosting perse - they tend to run away when feelings get intense and then come back later. Now that I understand this it's a lot easier to deal with. I have just started seeing an INTJ - he literally told me I was attractive, hugged me, looked like a deer in the headlights and then disappeared. Mysterious creatures that should come with a handbook.
Ahahahahahah I’m rolling
OMG! that sounds like my very enigmatic co-worker/ supervisor, out of nowhere he told me how much he appreciated me, got red faced and left the scene. It was so cute and endearing, I don't know for sure but I think he's INTJ, I am INFJ.
I always thought it was unhealthy how I would on rare occasions “obsess” over a person but somehow completely disengage when I was finished understanding them....but when I found out I was an intj, this made much more sense. I don’t mean to cause hurt, but I’ve observed that the result of my initial pouring of attention and extreme disconnection that later followed caused some of my friends to feel betrayal and abandonment.
WOW! I'm an INTJ and this video really helped me finally understand something about why the majority of people I know had difficulty understanding when I liked and enjoyed their company. Thank You!!
I am here for the understanding!!
“We want to influence you living your best life but we don’t want to talk about it” 😅 my god, how true!
Romances, or ever close friendships are hard for me. I remember the first time I was around a couple who were dating and recently 'fallen in love'. I wondered what was wrong with them. I thought they were insane.
I really struggled with dating before I met the woman who is now my wife. I didn't even try to when I was in high school, or even in college because I was way too insecure to even attempt it. I was just sure that I'd be rejected and I didn't want to experience that emotion. It's not that there weren't girls I was interested in or anything, but I didn't allow myself to attempt to develop a romance with them, partly because I wasn't sure if what I thought romance was would be anything like what they thought it was and partly because I thought that I could already predict unsuccessful outcomes from such attempts.
It wasn't until after I had been out of college for a few years and had succeeded in getting a career underway, that I had enough self confidence to actually give it a try. My awkward attempts at dating are very likely the sort of misadventures that inspired Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady to create the sitcom 'The Big Bang Theory'. I think that's why I enjoyed watching that show sometimes - because it allowed me to laugh at the very sort of thing that I struggled with myself.
I didn't romance the woman who later became my wife in the 'normal' way. By the time that I found out about her, I was taking a break from attempting romance because those prior attempts, while now rather funny in hindsight, had exhausted and demoralized me to some extent. I had a coworker who's wife was coworkers with this single woman that they (my coworker and his wife) thought would make a great match for me. They talked me into giving her a phone call, but it wasn't easy. I very nearly ignored their advice and came close to throwing the note with her number on it away several times before finally thinking 'Oh, what the heck, why not?'
It turned out that we had so much in common, including being introverts, that we didn't even meet in person for another two months. We just talked to each other on the phone on a gradually increasing frequency. Finally, when we were calling each other almost every night, sometimes at the same time (I would get a busy signal because, as I'd find out later, she was also calling me - or vice versa), I realized that perhaps we ought to actually try going out on a date. I didn't ask her out right then though. No, first I had to think back to previous telephone conversations and determine where she might most enjoy going. After much deliberation, I narrowed it down to three restaurants, called her up and asked her. I think I was more nervous making that call than I had been when going to job interviews. What if I had chosen the wrong three options? Oh dear. :)
Anyway, to keep this from turning into a whole blog in and of itself, it all worked out in the end, mostly, and we dated for three years before I determined that I wasn't mistaken in my initial idea that she might make the best wife for me and I asked her to marry me. Another very tense moment. To my relief, she said 'yes' and we've been married for 13 years now.
beatiful and very well written. thanks for sharing. just out of curiousity, what is the mbti of your wife? i am currently dating an intj guy so am curious haha
“another very tense moment.” 😂❤ INTJs are so so freaking adorable.
I read this in Sheldon's voice... lol...
@@julianaandersson8703 I relate to Sheldon in many ways.
My god what a great story! Also the way you write is so beautiful I would love reading a blog like that. I wish both of you happiness your story really touched me ❤- enfp
Oh my! INTJs must love me. I am a infinitely complex mess that can never be solved by a human dead or alive. So there.
I can't believe how accurately this describes the way my mind works, I struggle to explain it myself so it's nice to hear it from somebody else!
Amazing! That’s why I’m here :)
As an INTJ myself, I can relate. I spent quite some time analyzing an ENFJ girl who I learned to love/hate. She was very understanding and caring, but at the same time was overly confident in her decisions or way of thinking which wasn't always logically sound. Whenever we stood head to head on logical arguments, I mostly always just backed down because I didn't have the energy to argue with her because she didn't have the patience to fully understand my line of reasoning. Even though I had a serious crush on her, after a long and careful analysis I realized a relationship with her (or perhaps ENFJ's) would be unhealthy for someone of my type. I haven't spent much time analyzing a lot of ENFP's because for the most part, their level of energy and immaturity drives me away. But INFP's seem to be really genuine, and warm affectionate people I'd be interested in learning more about.
ENFPs are awesome playful carefree humans! I don’t know many INFPs but the ones I do know are sort of big babies lol, but I still love them.
I'm infp and I love you guys! I think your interpretation of us is accurate
Why all NFs? xNTPs are a great match for INTJs too.
@@5GcE My sister is an INTP actually! She's always been an amazing sounding board for my ideas - the Watson to my Sherlock so to speak. She's good at pointing out things I can consider as a potential added or new perspective to continue to help better whatever it is I'm working on.
I’m an ENFJ girl and my boyfriend is an INTJ 🙃
Thanks, I know my INTJ likes me... I can see it from time to time, I can sense it in the way he talks the way he looks at me.
What is bugging is that he dismisses his own feelings, he rationalize everything that’s fine! But he says we fell in love cause it is just physiological... and that those feelings are not real...
He constantly pushes me away, yet the few times we are together I just can feel his emotions.
This is driving me crazy!!! He acts into me one day and then absolutely aloof the other day and it drives me nuts cause damn I like this guy a lot!!!
So I am walking away now cause it is too painful it feels like he’s playing me 😢
I understand you as I've had a similar experience but I think he wasn't an emotionally healthy intj.
Sorry to say it, for me its not the right time for romantic things. But you're right about his love, its like trying to get away from drugs, its harsh but thats the only way i could describe it
Thank you for confirming my analysis of my favourite INTJ in the universe. I have concluded with more factual evidence backed up with this behaviour pattern similarity that he in fact loves me. He is just slow about it. Live long and prosper. Your extroverted counterpart. ENTJ
☺️👌🏻
How I knew my INTJ husband liked me:
He told me he did.
The end.
Fellow INTJ here. My friend did tell me the moment she knew we would be good friends. We were in a meeting and the person giving the presentation said "irregardless". She was sitting next to me and mumbled under her breath about how that word makes her cringe, and I gave her a side glance and a smirk.
How to know if an INTJ likes you: He answers your phone calls
Basically, INTJ like signs are:
a) excessive preparation for time they spend with you physically (picnics, outings, groupstudy)
b) acts of service and gift giving (cooking, taking care of your space, getting fun trinkets for you)
c) solving your problems
d) creating fictional problems to solve together with you or fact dumping
e) wasting an afternoon or evening away with you.
So true. I have to draw up a time table to see if I am able to block out hours for a hypothetical boyfriend before even getting into a relationship. Every interaction and/or commitment needs to be able to fit into my routine.
I avoid eye contact even more than I already do.
I'm generally cool towards them.
Just once or twice, over the course of time, I share a glimpse of my inner quirkiness with them.
Even more seldom, I throw caution to the wind and inject the esoteric into a conversation, rather than the grinding small talk I'm daily forced to endure.
When teased, I smile and even self deprecate, rather than responding in kind.
Lol the inner quirkiness is what seems to get people to like me.
If someone teases me i will utterly roast them. But i have trained myself to do that from constant bullying as a kid.
I hope to meet more INTJs in my life. They seem ideal-no fuss, smart, conscientious in their goals! 💜 I’m loving your channel more and more, Lindsay!
Thanks so much Hannah 🦄💗

There is this INTJ guy at my work place, he was my mentor when I was a rookie. He didn't seem to be much of a caring person yet always provided me with what I needed. But when I pointed those things out to thank him, he looked so uncomfortable and would refrain from doing those. Now I feel like I have a better understanding for his personality, thank you for sharing this video!
I am an INTJ and my girlfriend is an INFP. When I'm with her, I just forget how cruel I am to others. It's the greatest mystery of my life.
i have an intj friend and im isfp. i dont want to bore anyone but want a really close connection. do you have any tip to find the balance between these two type?
INTJs are definitely the sexiest of the types. I'm most comfortable with higher stack Fe users, but holy Jesus, ya'll are sexy.
I wish I could say “we try” but we don’t lol. But some people find nerdy awkwardness sexy so yay!
For me, it's watching the Ni at work in other Ni doms (it shows in the eyes and expressions) that is most captivating, but yeah the "nerdy awkwardness" definitely makes me feel things too.
Interesting comment about the eyes and expression! Hmmmm
Strong Fe has it's advantages.
I should say, strong Fe - - > Ni. It's the Ni that makes Fe so useful.
You’ll never know, cuz I’ll never tell u, unless u tell me first.
You know you have my admiration when I am going out of my way to pay special attention to you. I will make a special effort to cure your problems or improve what I can see can be better... If less personal, then advance you to a workable status of power. Generally, you can gain my favor by being instrumental in the realization of the visions I'm given. I will forever be an assistant to your intetests as well.
YES! Exactly! That special attention/personal attention... its huge for us.
As an INTJ female, I talked to my boyfriend for 4 months, testing him in every single way possible without even him knowing it and did my best to show that he is special to me and finally confessed to him one day and now we are together and we just celebrated our 1 year anniversary recently, I'm so glad I found him, I never dated anyone more than a week and I feel so blessed to have him
That's so cute, rooting for you and your relationship as a young single female INTJ
Secrets to turn off an INTJ
1. Not listening to them. And by listening I mean listening standards that we all have.
2. Disrespecting time yours and mine as well.
3. Being illiterate or having no passion at all or even not desiring to do something or look for it.
4. Telling us to "smile".
5. Not considering the fact that we have emotions too. It's just that we are bad at it so you need to poke us a little on that by asking us if you want to know and also have a patient ear on that. It takes time to figure our own emotions at time.
6. Always giggling for no reason around us or on seeing us, it's not funny at all, dude.
7. Not using your brain when it's necessary.
8. Asking us to repeat the thing we just told you yesterday indirect ways that we understand where your leading the conversation to eg: " i like you" "you look beautiful." We don't do things like that.
9. Getting offended when we speak the truth.
This list hits me hard today!
Sorry but some if these are kinda a list for immature intj...
@@MrBOBhakimipendobombies which one's tho? I'd like to learn. Over time the list changes too. And if you wanna add something you're welcome.
@@dharadhokia 3,6,7, & 8. Maturity could be improved by understanding that people have different ways of communicating, or more "indirect" ways. Giggling is sometimes reflexive. People also live life at different speeds i.e some may seem like they don't have a passion, when they do, and just have not understood how to take action yet. Some people take time figure it out in their minds first. People might seem like they're not "using their brains" when in reality, they need more time to figure out the problem. Overall, the tone of impatience and anger in this comment indicates INTJ immaturity. And the assumption that all INTJs think the same.
Man this hit the nail on the head. It feels weird how similar we all are tho, like I get that we all have the same personality type but it's still crazy to me how accurate all the little nuances are too.
Definitely appreciated the qualifier that INTJs do not differentiate between liking friends and a romantic relationships.
This feels like a dagger in my Fi heart
oh, the last "study you", exactly. i'll probably make a knowledge map or write a biography about that person.
I'm INTJ
when i was 14, I was more emotional with friends, but now I prefer to hide my emotions and problems, because it slowly began to dawn on me that even my friends don't care about my feelings, not in general, but rather at the level of trifles
In general, I never showed my emotions, because I got used to the fact that no one paid attention to me, neither my parents nor my classmates, so I became colder towards people
recently, for the first time, I fell in love and kept silent about it, because the person I liked turned out to be an asshole, but feelings continued to torment me because of which I cried a lot
only thanks to a psychologist I got rid of falling in love, the most interesting thing is that I knew about falling in love and knew that it was a fictitious and often non-reciprocal feeling, but I was able to get rid of it only when they told me about it from the outside, it really helped, I got rid of falling in love in a couple of weeks, it was easy
and now I am in love again, and again I will not say anything, because at the age of 17 I cannot love for real, no matter how well I understand what love is
also, if we talk about the feelings that I show in front of my friends, it’s more like a mask that I try to cover up indifference, but I’m too honest and open to keep silent about it, because some of my friends know that I feel almost nothing and that if they are gone, I will not be sad for a long time
and lastly, I was recently left without contact with friends for almost two weeks, I was desperate and felt abandoned, best friend said she didn't want to talk to me because she was afraid to offend me, although I said many times that I was not offended by anything, because of which it hurt me and I moved away from her
but my other good friend listened to me and said that no matter what, he wouldn't leave me in difficult times, even if we didn't have common topics for conversation, he would be there because I need him, this is what i call friendship
Dead on. I couldn't have said this better myself. The aspect of doing something for someone to make things work, with happiness being a side-effect, is a huge thing for me. I don't necessarily want to make you happy. I want to give you an environment where you can be the best you there is. I also sneak in and leave "perfect gifts" my few close friends. I'll never acknowledge it happened if they don't. I know it makes them super happy, but I don't know if I can handle them when they're super happy.
As an INTJ I felt like this was a perfect overview of how I approach any meaningful relationship from friendship to being with a lover. I find it hard for people to really be able to settle in with the intensity in which I want to get to know them haha. I'll most likely be sending your video out to my friends so they can understand me a bit better hahaha. Thank you for this great post!
Accurate analysis. Not being understood caused me a lot of emotional distress as a teenager (not yet knowing why, not yet knowing I was an INTJ or even about the MBTI model). Having matured since then, I know I must have also caused a lot of distress to more emotional types and still do to this day. Piece of advice I can give to INTJ guys: use your intuition and try to *really* understand what the other person needs by talking about it (only works if the other person is a mature personality). And also, if something about them upsets you, make sure the other person understands why you need to withdraw...
My boyfriend had no idea I was interested for a whole year. Finally texted him and asked him if he'd "fix my hot tub" (he is a contractor). He texted back "have you contacted the original installer", yet I thought he knew I had no hot tub! Finally this went nowhere, so I texted him again and said I had been flirting with him, and I was sorry if he was offended (which is what I believed had happened). Then he sent back a very favorable message about getting together for lunch. See, we have to be blunt for the other humans to understand us at all.
I loved the statement about desiring to know people's mechanics. Whenever I like someone I am obsessively fascinated by their speech patterns, likes, dislikes, body language, past, habits. I want to know it all and string it all together. I've always been good at reading people due to this, but when I truly like someone I need more. I need to dive in. It's like an addiction. Also, the thing about making a "gift" or "sentiment" seem like a significant is spot on. I loved how that was worded.
The amount of times I lie about my involvement in helping people as to not be recognized for helping people is uncountable
They spend 15 years with you and counting. That's a good sign they like you because they aint about to waste their time on anything, but what they truly love.
So dead on! Thank you for doing this one. Again, super authentic. Keep kicking ass, and building understanding. You are doing it right.
Thank you Ian!!
I'm so thankful for my INTJ husband and felt so flattered he was in to me. He can be difficult to like some times, but I appreciate him so much!
I commend anyone with the personal strength to live us lol
Im an INTJ and I like to talk about the weather only when I hate that person and just won't have a conversation with them but I'm obligated to. If I think a person is boring I talk about the weather because I could care less about their opinion.
My husband is the exact opposite of me. He is an ESFP. First, it matters to me if he liked me. That went for every guy. If they didn't think I had potential to be number one, I set them free without looking back. Why would you want to catch someone like that? True love is letting them decide if they want to stay or go, in the beginning. We have similar "love language." So when he gave me gifts, even food, I felt loved. I eventually asked him if he would want to be my boyfriend. There's a direct answer to that. So I made sure there was no guessing, because I didn't feel I had time to waste. But anyway, now that we are married, that's what he does. (Wastes time and interrupts me.) But I give it to him because I appreciate him. He dances, he's loud, he talks a lot. But I want to keep him for good. I make him laugh by my observations and stuff I say sometimes. Anyway, it's working out.
I’m not an INTJ but my best friend is while I’m an INFJ. Even though I know that I love my best friend and that she loves me I still find it interesting to see how different people work. That being said I love INTJs, y’all are very smart, strategic, and secretly caring. Amazing video LiJo!
Have an amazing day!
You don't know how much an intj imagine an ideal scenery for a confession
#1 way, I am spending time with you, I don't spend time with anyone, so if I'm going out of my way to spend time with you, I probably like you, just saying
If I point out your faults in logic and decision making it means I like you. Yeah sometimes it pisses people off because they think I'm trying to control them or being a "mom or dad" to them. That is not my intention at all. She was an ENFJ so she expected that Fe from me but I don’t have a lick of that.

INTP here- married to an INTJ. I am endlessly fascinated by him. Going on 12 years and I am still finding new facets of him to explore. How did I know he liked me? Hmm, I spent a lot of time researching him in advance (sounds creepy I know) and I’d already come to the conclusion he would probably like me, a lot. I knew I had him when he started figuring out things to do for me... making sure I had plenty of firewood, fixing my faucets for me, finding a new piece of equipment that made my job more efficient(that one seriously impressed me). This list just goes on and on. To this day, he is constantly finding new things that make my life easier and better. He Is a fantastic anchor for this INTP. I hit the jackpot.
That’s wonderful:)
My friend is an ENFP, and it's perfect for me. She is that one person I just can't figure out, her behaviour seems to be spontaneous and so interesting all the time. I like how original she is in her way of thinking, i love her creative ideas and chill eay around things. I dont want to ever figure her out, just so we can stay friends, and i can be always interested in her person
This video is so RELATABLE!! As an INTJ, now I know why I always want my friends to understand and JUST to believe that I really like them (but hoping they don’t
“run to me” at the same time), yet they always complain about me having no space and time for them (e.g. not hanging out with them a lot or not replying msg ASAP), being hard to read... and so on. Thus I learned to be a bit more straight, even I think I already show enough signals but like what you said about, I will now directly tell them that I like them and what I like about them. So the negotiations would be compressed to save time. And I don’t have to give out more or even emotional signals that I cannot handle or afford at all.
Glad you found it useful!
Thanks for all the effort you put into this channel. My girlfriend is an INTJ and have been watching your videos to understand her better. Which has been quite the challenge...
Thanks for posting this content
As an ENFP with a INTJ partner since four years, this made me laugh because YES 😂😅 Sometimes we really don't get each other but it's definitely the most healthy and dynamic relationship I've been in. He's the best 🥰
...and yes, I was the one taking the first step 😄
Great research. Good editing and concise. Would expect nothing less from an INTJ.
You are so polite. Personally I wouldn't bother interacting with the online trolls but you call out their lies well.
Awesome video Thanks.
Haha thank you friend. Each interaction is a learning experience!
I'm a male INTJ, and I have to say that a female INTJ seems, well- non female. I want empathy, and feeling in a woman. I know- illogical, but there it is!
Haha yeah same types aren’t a typical match for eachother. I’m married to an ENFP. Kindhearted and creative.
@@InternetLiJo AS AM I! I knew it! These types are so predictable... and INTUITIVE! Our spouses would never know though...
I left a thumbs up because this was the first video that really got to the point of being INTJ, instead of being neurotic or even autistic. It also does not mix up introversion and shyness. Thanks a lot for that!
Yes! So glad it made sense!
Awesome video! As a fellow INTJ myself I find it nice there are others that share my struggles.
INTJ here. This list is accurate to an almost eerie degree. I definitely find myself being drawn to people I see as interesting. When people who are important to me have a problem that I think I know the solution to, I often try to implement that solution, not only for their sake, but for my own curiosity. Sometimes I can't help but wonder what it comes across as.
