I talk to people all of the time and none of them ever have anything interesting to say.

Maybe bring up the topics u find interesting? Social situations are weird & sometimes people don't think or are afraid to brouch certain topics.

Well, most people don't care to discuss politics or are afraid to do so for fear of persecution. Everyday people don't know anything (or at the least, very much) about art or science or literature. Most people I come across just like to attend social gatherings, get drunk and talk about mundane bullshit. There's nothing remotely interesting about that. I like attending museums, listening to a variety of music, collecting things, reading philosophy, debating people and going for walks in the city. I hate nightclubs, parties and theme parks. Not very many people share my sentiments about life, and as you can tell, my "hot takes" are almost always controversial and garner disapproval and ad hominems, but it's the price I pay for attempting to convey what I believe may be true.

No lie I'm pretty sure I wrote this as a Facebook post when I was in high school.

Small brain: I like philosophy art walks and hate nightclubs and parties

Strife brain: I like philosophy art walks and getting fucked up at insane parties before going to the nightclub

Well, extraversion is certainly a trait, however it proves to be a waste of living.

And don't mistake my position for "I'm not like the normies, I'm eloquent". I understand your attempt at criticism, and you're well in your right to criticize me, even if you do it poorly.

Thank god we're all introverts here then, especially mAc

Okay but you do seem like you’re trying suspiciously hard NOT to use the word normie is all I’m saying

[SpoonyViking]

I need to translate two passages.

I've been wearing a mask for most of my life in my attempts to relate to people, and i've only recently decided discard that persona for the sake of my enjoyment of life, as well as to partake in the process of individuation, but besides the intellectual gymnastics, I accept that I'm seen as being disagreeable and cynical, but I wouldn't emphasize that to the degree that I employ "me vs them" mentality in any sense besides ironically.

I explained my position on art since that was part of the discussion, I was asked "Why I don't go outside and talk to somebody", I explained that I have a difficult time socializing because I don't care very much for excursions and small talk (and I spend a majority of my time thinking incessantly about things such as this), I was spurned for taking a typical introverted position, and here we are. I do not detest the notion that there are honest, average people, I just think those things are a waste of time. They're not for me. It's as simple as that.

Extraversion is so much more efficient than introversion. Wish I had it T_T

There are benefits to extraversion as there are to anything else, but the extraverts are the doers, not the thinkers. Kant was INTP, Einstein was INTP, Jung was INTP, and so am I. Efficiency is an illusion. You don't wanna be the extroverted publisher marketing some morons books, you wanna be that moron who does nothing but write nonstop at 3 in the morning about the pictures that fly through his head and make bank off of people who wear purple wigs for fun.

But my attempts to do so are pretty amusing

As a stupid introvert I’m offended by this post

Dullahan, I could kiss you!

You do know Myers-Briggs is not actually a scientific gold standard, right

it’s like thinking you get a real, credible “score” from a free online IQ test

[Snow]

How can IQs be real if our Is aren't real???

[Gl❀w]

Drugs don’t create hallucinations, they merely disrupt the hallucination we call “reality”
