    As an INTJ, I like being intimidating because it keeps annyoing people away and if someone actually comes and talks to you and wants to become friends you only need to begin the analysis then.... I think this is why I don't have a lot of friends

    Imagine being an INTJ without self steem, or with a strong imbalance in their self steem. Like, a part of them believe they are better, they can achieve anything; society's pressure telling them they are wrong makes them doubt whether they can or if they are the toxic one (for being too blunt, too logic). I think the difference for being successful or not is to not let anybody's words affect you, as a sensitive intj, my advice is to believe in yourself to free your own potential.

    As an INTJ, I feel like my biggest problem is duality. A part of me doesn’t give a crap about anything and I feel cold, but on the other hand, I care about the bigger picture and genuinely want the world to be a perfect place. Perhaps my indifference towards everything stems from an over-perfectionistic attitude. If things can’t be ideal the way I want it, I’d rather it just not exist altogether. This has legitimately caused me problems at work but has also given me strength to walk away from pointless relationships. Duality can be a blessing and a curse.

    I am an INTJ. I've always gotten INTJ in MBTI tests, including the "official one" that most use, and answered questions in depth. I also have bipolar disorder.
    What's funny about this video is that I am an INTJ, but I'm capable of feeling gloomy and discouraged.
    This video makes INTJs seem like borderline sociopathic power houses lol.
    INTJs often times have a nihilistic view on life because if an intuitive and judgmental we are. Our introverted nature also keeps us aware of our surrounding, world events, and keeps us to our thoughts. If an INTJ is acutely aware of a deteriorating planet, we don't simply stand on it not caring as it burns.
    Not every INTJ is outgoing, and it does depend on their environment or personal events taking place, such as family issues, relationship issues, or financial problems.
    We don't always build ladders for ourselves. We're not always hyper motivated. We don't always make the right choices. We can be emotional, easily iratated, and impulsive, because after we criticize an event we've observed, thought about, judged from an analytical perspective, we may act assuming that we know what's right based on our intuitive nature.
    I have received comments regarding my seemingly cold and intimidating personality. There are people who complain about certain miniscule things that I don't or can't care about. However, I am very compassionate about the welfare of animals and nature.
    Most of this video is mostly incorrect in the way it makes INTJs seem. We're not intimidating because of our ethics, we're intimidating because we're introverted, intuitive, thoughtful, and judgmental. These are pessimistic traits when interacting with extroverts or those who feel too much or are optimistic.
    I really do hope people who are also INTJ didn't leave thinking they were some potential CEO "alpha" lol

You come off too eager to shoot down people who have high hopes for themselves just because you couldn't get yours. Typical sour loser, regardless of their mbti type.

I want ppl to see that I actually CAN be dangerous in many times. I want ppl to know that I WILL beat them up if I feel like it. I'm the type of INTJ who likes to scare people, get revenge, be overprotective (and DEMONIC for some reason), ect. The type of INTJ who is clearly NOT a softie. That's why I'm introverted and always thoughtful. It's easier to humiliate my Enemies.

    As INTJ intimidation comes natural (even when you don't want to intimidate), but to me intimidation is more like a weapon, meant to be used only when situation calls for it. Other than that using intimidation to gain respect or to dominate for no reason is a child's game. It is childish. I've never had to intimidate to dominate or to gain respect, because my skills do that for me. When you stop intimidation you open doors that were previously closed. You grow socially and emotionally. It also helps to make more connections to achieve your goal because no matter how much you try to persevere with your hard work and skills, you still need lots of connections to succeed in every field. That's how society works so it is better to be flexible and grow then be stubborn and break.

    Geez, you'd think none of us ever had depression.
    Anyhow, I have seen how intimidating I can be even though I am not trying to be. I think the most intimidating thing about us is our combination of intellect and self-confidence makes us capable of very focused, directed action that comes across (rightfully) as extremely powerful and therefore intimidating. We like being swift and decisive in pursuing our goals and so we rarely think about how that comes across to others - nor are we inclined to. And when we really get going, we get task focused tunnel vision that turns the world into things that either help us toward our goals or get in the way - and some of those things are people.
    We can come across as ruthless, callous, inhuman machines - and that's on a good day! :)

      I also have recently encountered a particular example this as well.
      Admittedly I going to do my best to try and convey the story without crossing the thresholds between ecsessive ambiguity and personal gossip as well as providing suffecient detail without rambling but I cannot state I will be successful in this.
      I was recently attempting to strengthen some of my weaker skills in a game stream community I have built some pressence in and attempted to "bond build" when certain comments were made in jest by a moderator of the stream and I attempted to join the interaction by supplying what I deemed to be a humorous nature video of similair depiction to the recent joke in what amounted to simi secluded side thread of the community as I did desire to establish a stronger bond via humor in an open manor but simultaneously did not wish to cause distraction within the primairy chat.
      As it turned out this was a grievous error upon my part, the video was deemed extreamly offensive and the other party proceded to announce they had been "wronged" in the primairy thread derailing the entire stream in such a way to draw attention to themselves and suggest the streamers community had been put at risk and they had simultaneously been in essence directly attacked.
      I did publicly apologize and did try in private message to apologize for my error further as I did wish to make amends for my genuine miscalculation but was blocked only after intitial apology after which they still continued to draw all attention from the community and from the streamer mid game.
      Graciously the streamer I had built some relationship with did not outright ban me but did deal rather harshly and state that was essentally my one and only mistake I will ever be permitted to make after in essence "psychologically assulting" their moderator. (Notable, I am 90% certain I have been with the community and recognised to be an established regular for longer then this moderator has even been present)
      Now, in retrospect I still do believe I did indeed make an error in judgment, but not only do I believe it was mishandled, I noticed that while the video did not technically exceed TOS (being arguably being essentally pg 13 in a stated 18+ community) it was still well beyond what I would normally EVER be willing to risk posting which then confused me as it was of very significant deviation from MY norms. This will be important momentarily.
      After that also took more careful note of when they appeared in neighboring communities as not to instigate trouble aside from careful posts to indicate my presence which resulted in immediate displeasure from the individual, I also noted that any stream they entered was quickly derailed by them in order to essentally be redirected into praising them by both community and streamer alike, in fact, they seem to jump from stream to stream just long enough to do this and repeat.
      It was at this point I realized they are a very unhealthy isfp who has fallen to inverted negative narcissism and is horribly, near tragically unaware of the cancerous mental illness rapidly growing within them.
      I also came to realize that while it does in no way excuse my error in failing to recognize an inappropriate post before making it this is likely the scource of the devience from my norms. Many INTJs such as my self if able to conciously contort their stacks to access Fe are dark empaths improper compensation on my part was then the scource of the devience from my norms.
      TLDR: Self aware dark empath INTJ tries to make friends with non-selfaware narcissistic ISFP by means of self deprocating humor targeted at their shared dark atributes and narcissist went ballistic when confronted by what they try so hard to deny.

If you come as intimidating it's very rarely nothing to do with you, it's how others react. Self-esteem is lucid and comes and goes. Anyone can be intelligent but for the INTJ type we just collect more information both externally and recognize our internal experiences. If you strive to be intimidating just be an asshole and the jobs done.

Meaning they are putting more emphasis on their Ni-Fi axis than their Ni-Te axis, and are therefore prioritizing what their feelings want to be accurate and to work more than what their Te would be revealing to them if not for their Fi feelings?

Of course, I'm definitely not the approachable type but I feel like that's because I keep to myself a lot and don't always interact with my surroundings, not because I intimidate others. I've been called a snob by people that don't know me but I don't know. I'm confused 😂

      Bc we don’t see ourselves as unapproachable, but I know others will say differently. I’ve been called: know it all, snob, intimidating, accused of thinking I’m better, rude, a$$hole, etc. However I don’t see myself as any of those things, just misunderstood. Lol

    Just know, all or most of your friends and family will one day hold you back from your greater success unless you separate them from your “mission” or whatever you coin your destination. There’s a few that can help or at least function along side you. Most know that eventually you’ll leave this pastor tor better ones and want to keep you with them, to help them. That’s fine if you want. Otherwise, I shoot for the skies and level up. If you’re not progressing, I’ll leave you behind. Lethargy and laziness wear off on those around you. If you have lose friends that have dreams and ambitions but don’t sustainably pursue them, it makes you lazy because you’re doing ok in the same circumstance, or worse (based on environment etc) just set your goals and be better than yesterday. Putting other’s in the equation either limits your success or anxiety and doubt. Just be the best you and you’ll be great. It’s not our mission to be better than others, but to be better than ourselves.

    As in INTJ I literally couldn’t care less how people feel/think about me or how much they disagree with me, but I still want everyone to be emotionally stable and on the same page. I come off as bold, blunt, and cold hearted but I’m not a mean or toxic person by any means 😄. I’ll flat out tell you that your idea of doing something stinks and won’t benefit anyone since I’m super logical, but I don’t want to embarrass you or make you feel bad about yourself lol.

      Also there’s a part in the video that I disagree with. If a feeling is useless, there is no point to feel it too much. Being annoyed or arrogant at people does not bring actual benefit, however if you are “外圆内方” (a Chinese description) (outside round inside square), you hold your beliefs inside firmly, however on the outside you will need to understand and empathise with others, and able to be swayed just on the outside. This will help with achieving goals more efficiently.
      And to think of the matter this way, the INTJs that are called to be cold by others, are failures or hypocrites of a sort, because the emotions that they have showed affected their ability to work with others, blunting their effectiveness.

    💯 to a point 😝 I don’t try to fit unvetted facts as truthful unless I research it for self. I’ll hang onto that fact unless new info comes into light that changes my previous thoughts about it. I will admit when I’m wrong about something though…
    My objective isn’t to be intimidating; rather to not get taken advantage of & to be taken seriously. I just want to get the job done effectively & as efficiently as possible. You’re gonna know if you’re not pulling your weight! If it hurts someone else’s feelings, I can’t help that…not my job to mind other’s feelings or how they may perceive me. Sometimes the truth hurts. 😢
    I’m gonna be me! Blunt & to the point. Don’t ask if you don’t wanna know what I’m thinking bcz I will tell you exactly how you may look in a pair of jeans; especially if it’s unflattering. You would wanna know if you got a booger hanging low…I’ll be that person to tell you so… just saying.

    Not sure if I am intimidating, but I have had close friends who have told me that they didn't like me at first. It seems that people have to get to really know ITN s in order to form a bond. We can come off as controlling and judging, but we can be very caring and generous. I am also a Virgo. I have had to really work on being more empathetic and less judging. I get very impatient with people who are not efficient, or don't take a task seriously. Group projects are impossible to me because I can't tolerate indecisive or lazy people. It has in time taught me to try to listen more carefully and to learn tolerance and patience.

    Note: some INTJS can breifly convert to an INTP for a few weeks depending on hiw satisfied they are with their selves. If they feel like things are not going according to how they wish it (self doubt due to no progress or a similar reason) then they go into a temporary state of being mild and soft.

      I hate to stand up to someone so close. But the intimidation tactics should not go back but I've seen others subdue the beast with a promise of consequence. Ironic. I just want no part. I see intjs as fearless believers able to get wrong on their own belief over anyone else. But.. I've seen them love. So what to do to calm? Work alone hard? Is that all? Does it subside the covert doubts in times of my ascending from the bottom? I care but he will believe I think I'm better than everyone but also that I'm too insecure to make my own way. The contradicting beliefs do not sate anyone. But I know I will work a way away because I am not in understanding reigns.

    I never saw myself as intimidating even though I match most of these traits. For example, I picked computer science (science field) as my major in elementary school (long-term planning) because my mother had her mathematician job replaced by computers (broke large goal into achievable sub-goals). I stuck to the plan and currently get 6 figures as a data engineer (achieved goal from accurate planning).
