things that calm my intp mind

- the sound of the rain

- rain in general

- classical music but like, stuff that’s pretty delicate and not too vigorous

- bad movies or movies that aren’t too heavy going; gives my thoughts a break - being awake at night between 2-6am when the world is quiet

- dusk/dawn light + the silence that comes with it

- pale colours which are pretty neutral in terms of being warm or cold

- being in someone’s company with whom i’m comfortable and not talking and not needing to either

[the-lazy-genius]

if you can imagine it, you can bet i’ve thought about it

[the-lazy-genius]

being an intp, more like ruining everything ever

- ruining romanticization with pessimistic - albeit annoyingly accurate - logic

- ruining people’s moments of ingenuity by finding loopholes in their systems and being unable to refrain from pointing out weaknesses in their plan, etc

- ruining your own productivity by being satisfied with the knowledge that you COULD do something if you wanted to… if you really REALY wanted to…

- ruining your friendships by being more loyal to your views and opinions than to that person; finding yourself often siding with the person your friend is describing as the antagonist of their anecdote and not being able to hold back from saying so in some way, shape or form

Rest Assured

INFJ: Sometimes people just want some reassurance. There’s a difference between reassuring someone and solving their problems.

INTP: Problems have solutions!

INFJ: Yea but feelings don’t…

INTP: …feelings are problems.

imagine if every intp in the world actually got off their asses and embodied their full potential… the globe would literally be a different place

[the-lazy-genius]

Just sitting here wondering if I’ll ever grow out of the “genius underachiever who could be doing so much more with his life if he actually decided to apply himself” phase that I’ve been in my entire life.

do I get a thousand different theories and ideas everyday? yes do I act upon them or put them in practice? absolutely not

INTP Confession #4

I don’t usually get jealous of other people, but sometimes I have intense TiNe moments when somebody says something in class or whatever and everyone says “Whoooaaa, that’s so insightful!!! You are a genius!!!” and I just think “OMG I THOUGHT OF THAT 3 YEARS AGO BUT NOBODY CARED”

intp modus operandi: ‘i winged it but it still turned out great’

[the-lazy-genius]

i’m literally so calm in stressful situations/while receiving bad news etc that i think most of the time people probably think i just don’t give a shit.

and honesty i can’t tell whether i do or not either. like, genuinely. i don’t know? why do things not get to me? am i just constantly expecting the worst/prepared for all possibilities because logically i know anything could happen at any moment? including the really awful stuff? ?

i have no idea.

INTP CONFESSION #24

I don’t care about anything but I care way too much about everything

[the-lazy-genius]

Conceptionalizing an idea so clearly in your head while making shortcuts that you don’t know how to explain it without writing a 10 page paper and wanting to share the idea with the world because it’s relevant but nobody cares because it’s not a mainstream opinion and it’s too hard to decipher.

INTP Confession #10

I abhor making decisions because it makes me feel uneasy to commit myself to only one outcome out of all the possible outcomes.

[the-lazy-genius]

I would have been a great philosopher if I was born back in the day
