Hi Scissorhands! Hmmm I don't hate NTs. I like them. I like spending time with them. I do hate some NTs but only when this rebellious part of their personalities neglect the greater whole of society. I don't hate it because they hurt others. I hate it because in the process they are mostly building up their walls and they think they're protecting themselves and/or others but I only see it as a defense mechanism and an unwillingness to be vulnerable. I think deep down they understand the loss in this and in their quiet, they feel the pain and isolation. I hate that. I want them to stop it and I want to remind them it isn't so but I can't exactly be sure that's true except I know that I want to be there for some of them. When they annoy me however, I just let them be. Such fools. Lol
Taking down a computer science degree left me with many INTJ and INTP friends.
i even know an INTJ who is struggling to open up and hates himself for the inability to do so
i've seen him push tears into his eyes in order for the argument to stop without even taking any other part in it other than listening
and even his wife that adores him hates that nature and all three of us get to discuss it with a glass of wine at times of peace
It's not about hating them.. but about a war within us all that we are trying to help them fight it.
Those INTxs that decide to not fight their fight, turn around and pose a threat to us because as they hide in the shadows for their protection, a shadow is what we get to face.
shadows hide stuff like swords, knives, arrows that come flying in when you least expect them to.
And, oh yeah! monsters too!
Nobody knows what's behind a mask when all they see is the mask! (but that's for the other thread)
Concerning their apathy.. at least some are willing to look into it as a fault because most see the fault only in you for seeing it!
I've learned that when people are silent it's not always about not having something to say but sometimes, about not having something GOOD to say and they bite their tongue!
I will share an example (real one)
You've lost contact with someone due to loosing yourself completely, and that someone commits suicide
your INTJ friend tells you that he knew your mutual friend was under anti-depressants and alcohol and under lots of stress but found no reason, purpose, or maybe time, to ring you up and share it with you.
Even if you are the common denominator of that relationship.
just one example of the impact a non-action can have.
I can't "hate" them and their actions, as i can clearly see how their apparent mistakes were destined to happen for others to unfold.
I can't hate their mistakes more than i hate my own but they're all within a plan of us having to make them.
(not proof checking this text so i don't add more)
