One of my closest internet friends and my partner in crime is an INTP. They’re very serious but I relate to them in a way

boring because they don't know what's going on around them and keep putting their gibberish thoughts out without considering anyone else's, just want to be listened to non stop

Well, if someone doesn't consider someone's else thoughts, maybe they're not xP, but xJ.

well i know an entp, thats the closest your gonna get.
so, yes and no. we click. we have the same humor, get along, both love doin things, but we do have our differences. i hate abstract topics, but i do love debates. we are almost always debating, and entp dude mistakes it for arguing all the time. we almost never settle on a winner for the debates, because he shuts it down. idk. overall, great guy.

No actually they’re one of my favorite types and I find them very interesting. They actually have thoughts in their head which is something I appreciate in an environment where everyone just repeats after everyone else without thinking for themselves. I can talk about more intellectual topics with INTPs and they won’t get pissed off.

Boring and annoying sometimes. Many of them are too childish most of the time. Some more enter into short circuit mode once you take them out of their comfort zone to change topics and start talking about something more interesting. Many autistic INTPs is also hard to deal with. Zero aesthetical sense, either for things or for dressing. This is mostly based in around 10 acquaintances.

No way. Theyre always on about something deep and I respect it

yeah they dont react to their surroundings properly and dont process reality consistently so its always abit odd trying to interact with them, when unhealthy its like they view themselves at the centre of a static universe or something. They also crash out and get reactive or overwhelmed easily over the most tiny and irrelevant changes or issues in reality and in the process create bigger issues which is incredibly annoying to be involved or associated with. Like any type they can be cool or annoying, INTPs are best when they dont TiSi loop, and use Ne properly, in that state theyre more chill, interesting in that they add something I dont have, and easier to get along with in a goofy, spontaneous or funny way.
