>>29058129
INTP is actual autism. That's the redpill.
Focus on what? I'm an INTP and I'm glad I can't focus, I'm lazy as shit but I can multitask like hell so I get everything done quick as fuck. Fuck focusing, I'd rather get everything done at the same time instead of focusing on one thing at a time.

this is actually a meme. as an INTP your best bet is to find a few hobbies/interests you can pursue and continue cycling between them. if you find yourself unable to concentrate on anything, listen to music or play vidya for a bit. then go back to being productive.

t. lazy as fuck INTP

> INTPs aren't meant for this world

I agree with this partially as it does hit me in the feels, but I disagree. I'd prefer to say INTPs aren't meant for society, they are great on their own. They have no desire to lead, and no desire to share their knowledge unless it benefits their pursuit of knowledge further.

And society hates that, that we refuse to be lead by them.

I went to highschool with a guy I'm pretty sure he's INTJ.
we'd often discuss stupid shit but he would fanatically convinced in what he would say. For example we were arguing how to say spite (from our mother tongue) in english and he would just spit out retarded shit like "insolence", and something even more stupid I don't remember what. It wouldn't anger me so much if he wasn't so sure of his bullshit. So sure that he would often make me question myself
>>
>>29059242
haha typically INTJ, they always anger me a few but they always enter in an existential depression so it's like the world avenges me
>>
Alright INTPs I'm only going to red pill you once. All the other INTPs that don't see this are doomed for eternity.

The Meme Method:
INTPs motivate in a similar way to ISTPs. They can't be motivated to do something until they really are actually genuinely interested in something. Trying to force it is the equivalent of a forced meme. So what you want is a natural meme that emerges. Like ISTPs INTPs usually have something they are autistically focused on. Pay attention to these obsessions because these are your motivation. Find a way to turn these obsessions into a career/money/business ect. However some key ingredients are that the thing you choose must have depth/complexity and potential for further development and exploration. So instead of fighting your Ne because it's jumping to other things you are working with it as a development tool.

Yes, and an extremely long list of books that I will 'eventually' buy and read from Amazon.

said, like with anything, if I'm really interested in a book I find myself unable to put it down, whereas anything else will take months to actually finish.

There's two types of INTPs, losers and the miscategorized

>>29059700
yeah, that's definitely my problem. i'll finish a few academic books and tons of novels, but the books i've picked up out of momentary curiosity are the ones that are never finished.

Threads like these make me feel less alone in my own mind but also a dreading feeling of knowing what the rest of my life holds for me with no way out; the same cycles of self-disappointment and unproductivity with no direction. Not that I really care much anymore but I also don't want to let my life's "potential" be tarnished by the layered feeling of not giving a shit over the fact that I cant be interested in any one thing or focus on singularities. The most I can manage to focus on is typing out 4chan posts like this, are INTP's inclined to AD(H)D traits? because thats the idea I get from this thread.
>>
>>29059903
>are INTP's inclined to AD(H)D traits
this is more or less our defining feature because of the relentless theorizing and lack of concern for reality testing

>tfw ENTPs take a hatchet to knowledge and mutilate it to be more palatable to the normies

ENTPs are disgusting normie-collaborators, never trust them.
>>
>>29059903
It's possible for INTPs to function if you look at other INTPs as models. Elon musk runs three companies at once because he can't focus on one thing. Einstein's obsession was electromagnetism. Quentin Tarantino's movies keep his Ne occupied.
>>
>>29060309
It's cool how Einstein came up with the theory of relativity. Seems like the same kind of musing I would have, except I don't have Einstein's IQ obviously.
>>
>>29060881

You will also hopefuly not plagiarize other people, like Einstein did with Poincarre's theories.
>>
>>29060881
I wish I was Oppenheimer in the 40's inventing the atomic bomb.

Also I'm working on my own theorems that I consider einstein-like, but they're more philosophical than physics based since I deal with the idea of the connection between cause and effect.
>>
>>29060309
Yeah but sadly I'm already fucked considering the millennial lifestyle of hyper entertainment and constant access to the information of the internet which just melts our brains and adjusts us to not work for knowledge or information, I feel spoilt on a constant stream of entertainment, videos, porn, movies, anime which doesn't help with the ADD traits and INTP personality

The 'INTP' personality is heavily correlated with schizotypy, which is basically a stronger version of what people call ADHD-C, and kind of like a weaker version of schizophrenia.

I also can multitask or at least get things done real quick. But I cannot make a big project or get too involved in any kind of creative activity unless it REALLY pulls my interest

INTP's have a higher than average likelyhood of having autism, being a sociopath, and or making 30k a year. As an INTP you are prone to thinking of big goals but not how to achieve them, that's the red pill

INTP with university degree and job here.
Just find something mildly interesting and keep doing it daily until death.

Don't think about why we're here or what your purpose is. There is none. Just distract yourself with a goal/interesting job and wait till death. Try to have kids/family at the same time.

I have INTP girlfriend as well. So, try to find an INTP gf because only another INTP knows these feels.

Marijuana helps.

I think I suffer from INTP bone paralysis.

It's a little known illness that affects many INTPs. People who suffer from INTP bone paralysis may notice a constant ache in all of their bones and joints, and the inability to move. At all.

Anyone else here so unmotivated to do anything that they literally can't move?

The actual theory behind it which I've been told that people are beginning to pick up on was made by a renown psychologist. MBTI and the shit you uploaded was almost certainly made by a reddit nu-male who are trying to advertise their website.

ENTP here. I also have the problem that I can't really focus on shit that I'm not really invested/interested in, which is why I find it really hard to complete college projects in time because I just find them so fucking boring that I either play some vidya instead or go out for a beer with friends.

Once I had a single day to study for an exam. A single fucking day. I studied in the morning, got bored, played Stellaris, received a text from a mate who called me out to drink and instead of continuing studying like I planned I went out for a beer.

I still passed by luck with a higher grade than the gradecucks that studied through the night and showed up looking dead

as far as relationships go, i also found this in weird shy people.. under-appreciated ones. i dont even care much how hot a girl is, or about sex, i seem to only really care about very deep, interesting, strange people who don't get noticed much.. they can be fascinating, and i want to know them and create relationships not born from lust or popularity but mutual interest.
