Confessions of an INTJ

Hi! I can relate to most of what you wrote. In Myers-Briggs, I am INTJ. I am not fascinated by myself though, some traits I like some I don’t. It’s easy for me to feel superior to the ones who are more emotional, why can’t I just “be” without feeling superior, I hope to stop at recognizing what it is before starting to feel superior to the ones who are not like myself. I hope that feeling superior isn’t a need for me, but some garbage bag that just needs to be put out. I wish I didn’t have to often tell people having emotions and being emotional are two different things, and that I have emotions and not being emotional does not mean that I am a cold person. I used to think people should just know these things but I now accept that some don’t. I don’t think like, people fitting in the environment is a must so it wasn’t a problem to me that I have no interest in fitting in, but it often seemed like a problem to other people in the environment especially to the ones who seek validations from the shared sentiment that gets expressed by the same reactions to the stimuli in a group. It’s easier being a man and INTJ than being a woman and INTJ, because of the different expectations set on genders. Well, it’s ok I’ll live, it just takes more work like putting makeup on face, it needs putting some makeup on my part in the interactions with people if I want to have it easier. Thanks for the writing.
