I'm an INTJ, we may come across as high maintenance (physically and/or emotionally) as we want and need to see other's on our level. Since INTJ's give it their best and all, we EXPECT that from others which is a positive and a negative depending on the situation. We are self-reliant thus finding a partner that benefits or complements us is hard cause usually other people can't produce the same standard we produce, but when you are in a relationship with us, we literally give it our all, we are loyal, committed and we don't BS around. We also love balance, we love our alone time with our thoughts but also yearn for companionship that isn't smothering or clingy. We rarely show our emotions so we may come off cold but we are really not, we are just logical.

As a spouse of INTJ I have to say my experience is that if you can learn to understand INTJ and make empathy important to that understanding the relationship will be as I see it from my experience super romantic because loyalty and forever person. I'm INFP and learning to balance feelings VS thoughts has been big for us. Just wanted to say that it hasn't always been easy but it's always been worth it. I can't imagine being with anyone else. Good luck to all y'all INTJs just don't back down or try to change to make that other person happy. I'm seriously not trying to give you advice.. I just really think you all deserve that forever person.

I totally agree and would add just one more thing: I'm single because I'm the person who makes me happier, always. No one of all the people I've met so far ever went even close to that. It's hard to believe someone can understand, accept, and fulfill my needs more than myself. In the past, I tried to settle for less and only became the most miserable person ever. So, in the end, I always hope to be proven wrong by some Mr. Perfect-for-me-guy, but honestly I'm getting too old to not be realistic about the infinitesimal chances I have to meet him. And by now, I've become such a freaking pro at being emotionally and psychologically self-sufficient, that my expectations are even higher than in the past. So I'm doomed to be the INTJ woman devoted to her job, I guess.

I've been dating a 61 year old INTJ that thought she'd always be single. There are things I can do for her that she simply cannot do for herself and has learned to enjoy being taken care of. (I'm ENTJ.) At the end of the day, like myself, she didn't want to die alone...and now she won't have to.
@MissLibertarian
@MissLibertarian Год назад
My situation is similar, but I lucked out being born to an INTJ Dad and having an INTJ brother. So, while I know not to settle for less because I don’t want to make the other person and myself miserable, I also know how wonderful it is to communicate without words, and even to go to a gathering and split the Extrovert duties. The emotional cues of INTJs are subtle but easy for me to read. I am looking for the same foundation in a relationship. The hard part is to find an INTJ the right age, still alive; not a dead economist or physicist, or a libertarian historical figure. Oh, yeah, and the fictional INTJs make me realize that there are way more INTJ writers out there than the statistics get from surveying writing students. Screenplays especially where the job is to write the blueprint for the Sensates to make real. I have an ISTJ parent and siblings, too. Love them and need them, and glad they aren’t Extroverts, but can imagine being intensely lonely in an intimate relationship with one 24/7.

If this were a year ago, I would likely be that commenter that proudly proclaims being single. I met my forever person and damn, you're spot on about revealing layers. I feel like I can let go and just be happy. It's so strange because I felt I was happy before. I was quite content having the same routine every day after work without anyone coming in to disrupt it. I don't know, she just added to much to my life that it was hard to ignore. She also wasn't put off when I brought up expectations for marriage and family and it made me feel like I wouldn't be wasting my time with someone just to find out our goals didn't align. Lastly, and I hate to admit it, but I think she's smarter than me, but at least I know that I've grown as a person so much since I've met her.

I first took the MBTI when I was 30, not knowing what it was, and scored INTJ. A year or so later, I met the man who would become my husband in a mental health hospital. You get to know each other very well, very fast, in a mental health hospital. It. Was. As. If. Lightning. Struck. Over the years, as I looked back on it, I realized that in order to get through to me, it couldn't have been any less dramatic. Even our wedding was unconventional - a small ceremony in a county park - and he is eight years younger than me. At a time when having kids was still "convention," we elected not to due to our genetic and health histories. We've been married 29 years. He is an INFP.

Yes I agree with the fact we simply don’t clue in if someone likes us. We are rather oblivious. As a married INTJ A female relationships can be a challenge because we live in our heads so much. Also I don’t need my husband as much as he needs me, I have to make it a matter of focus to deliberately pay attention to him. I am logical, direct and he is emotional, and obscure in his communication style so it is definitely a challenge. He does not believe in the MBTI or other personality profile tests but I have found them to be incredibly accurate. It’s understandable why relationships take so much effort for us because being alone is so easy for us. But, through this 41 year relationship it has forced me to grow in ways I would never have achieved if I hadn’t been challenged so greatly.

The reason I as an INTJ am single is probably a little more unique but still very much applicable to the personality. People have mostly heard of asexual, but there's also something like aromantic. I'm 28 years old but I've never developed ANY feelings or romance for someone ever. Which is strange because I do have emotions. I know INTJ's are private about their emotions, or don't understand them and may seem cold, but take this and multiply this by three, and you have me. Romance and relationships however seem great... concepts to me. Just concepts though, only being able to be analyzed in a cognitive way. It seems amazing to be this connected to a person in this way yet it's feeling is totally foreign to me. I really think that this isn't just normal INTJ stuff, but sign of something more serious. I have never met a person, or knew of a person that experienced it the same way as me. Or rather... lack of experience.

Hi! I’m very curious to know whether you experience love & passion for OBJECTS, like whatever you might be into. Are you interested in various aspects of art & design? If so, do you ever experience things like butterflies in your stomach, or palpitations from something SO beautiful that your body inadvertently reacts to the perfect confluence of design principles? Or have you experienced being in nature and feeling like you’re One with it, and enveloped in its beauty & grandeur? I’m 48, and though I’ve been attracted to people, and have had that sizzle & electricity with someone, I’ve never been involved with anyone I’d say I was in love with. I didn’t like them as people, but as an empath, I can easily care for people on the basis of principle-I could despise them, yet still be civil with anyone, simply to facilitate solutions. So basically, I don’t think I’m asexual or aromantic, but I know I could never be in love with someone I couldn’t talk to about anything & everything. It’d have to be mentally-stimulating convo, as well, and we’d both have to be working on ourselves and accomplishing things that we could get excited about discussing with one another. We don’t have to have EVERYTHING in common, but anything short of a “best friend” model of relationship would be unfulfilling for me. Have you ever encountered someone, even if only for a brief few minutes, or even a moment, where you felt that spark? If not, it wouldn’t seem odd for an INTJ to not entertain even the possibility of being in a romantic relationship, cuz what would be the point of that?
@ZTRCTGuy
@ZTRCTGuy Год назад
@@MoPoppins Rarely. I am a digital visual artist, I also make music and compose music. I'm fond of nature and art but I wouldn't go as far that I ''love'' it. Because love is an emotion and I'm fond of these things more in a cognitive way. Though, I have felt... something positive when I expected to eat food I really liked and also when listening to certain music. But for people? nope, never. I also doubt the ''spark'' is even commensurable when you're talking about romanticism. It's just not the same as liking food or music. For your story, pretty run of the mill stuff. And I do not mean that in a mean way. Lastly, I would see a point in a romantic relationship, for the emotional support it could bring, and there're many more reasons.
@MoPoppins
@MoPoppins Год назад
@@ZTRCTGuy Interesting. I could even feel in your energy an emotional detachment. As an INTJ myself, dispassion & disinterest come naturally to me, so I relate to those sensations & experiences. Because many of my feelings can be relegated to the cognitive realm (for efficiency & simplicity to conserve energy), when I’m OVERCOME with emotion and sensation, I almost don’t know what to do with them-I used to try to keep them “tidy,” and would attempt to analyze what was happening inside my body, but then realized that sometimes, we’re simply meant to SURRENDER to the moment. Of course, I still do the INTJ “calculated risk” assessment, but there are also moments where I’m not allowed that clarity, so those times reveal that I’m not a “robot,” after all. 😂 I wouldn’t mind being a robot of sorts, but then I might not be able to enjoy food & music + all kinds of beauty, to the extent that I do, so I make concessions to my humanity for that trade-off.

Just stopped dating an INTJ and it’s very sad. I had no idea this whole thought process was going on and I was confused when it was finally revealed to me haha. It was mutual to end it and was the right decision but wow, what luck to meet someone that dedicated to a future life together. I genuinely thought they weren’t ready to think in serious terms because they said they didn’t know what they wanted so in the end it was me not bringing the gold to the table because I didn’t want to invest if it was just me wanting to (I was going with the flow to see where it would end up) which they saw as a problem for the long term goal (to see if we’d last til the bitter end). Bless our souls. But we ended because of dissimilar values, I was too sensitive for them and for me I didn’t feel emotionally secure with them. It’s a shame - INFP

The last part hits me right into my core. As you said, we are willing to change our 10 year plan for that special person, even most of the time they won't know it. If a person is worth to us, they don't need to know it. They are worth it. Just a shame we are, most of the time, getting misunderstood by people around us.

As an INTJ, I got tired of being misinterpreted and of all the demands. Always explaining my decisions to people that make the mistake of thinking the rest of the world thinks like them. When you don't comply with the demands, they start to judge you and all the drama and arguments start. No thanks. So, I "work" in the fringe of society. No dating, no going out to get drunk or hammered etc. I only engage with society enough to have an income, which provides what I want and need to live life as I see fit. Peace, tranquility, building my house and classic car for relaxation is perfect.

This was spot-on for me! My partner and I joke that our first date was more like a job interview, and once we realized we had compatible large goals, everything else fell into place. Over 20 years ago. He's been my support through undergrad and grad school, and now I'm supporting him through an unfortunate worker's comp injury. Had I not met him, or someone who met my intellectual standards, I would have been content to be a crazy cat lady. (He even supports that. Bless!) He gives me all the alone time I need, and understands when the world gets to be too much and runs interference. This reminds me I don't appreciate him enough. I do try to show it, no surprise to anyone here that saying so isn't something I remember to do.

I'm not very tolerant of the "mushy" nor "needy" clingy stuff... I detest being crowded & interrupting me when I'm in "my zone" will get a deep glare & silence...

Yes, you really got everything right (except I would be willing to try to get into a relationship I was uncertain about)... but, in my case there's an extra thing: I'm very insecure about how the opposite gender sees me. I was bullied at school and called ugly in many different ways. Since then, I learned what works for me and had a great improvement on my looks, but men still don't approach me. And that's the thing... people know they are attractive and gain self confidence when others approach them "romantically". But since nobody approaches me, I feel unattractive and don't have self confidence to try to even talk to people who I'm interested in.
@justcallmejon22
@justcallmejon22 9 месяцев назад
I was the fat kid in class as a child so I empathize with your feeling of low self-confidence. I think the issue with us INTJs is not that we're not attractive, because attraction is more than just physical, it's that we unknowingly present ourselves as unavailable to potential suitors. It's always weird to do this but I usually somehow mention that I've been on "dates" when I'm around other single people to let them know that I am available and looking, which tends to open up a path towards romance. So put yourself out there my INTJ sister, it's going to feel weird but hopefully it leads to the result that you want ✊

Only my intp best friend gets it. It would be hard for me to connect if we speak totally different "languages". Sometimes I hear from guys that I treat dates like interviews 😂 alone time seems weird for most guys because I don't demand attention and sometimes even irritated by someone overly emotional towards me especially in the first couple of months. I can't understand why people sometimes say I love you, miss you and something like that without thoroughly thinking and embracing it. Thank you again!

I see people around me all the time staying in relationships that look draining and demoralizing, and I wonder what the heck they're doing. If I begin to have true interest in somebody, I definitely start poking around, both consciously and unconsciously to find any weak spots. Because if there's a weak spot, and the other person isn't willing to address it with me, I know it's not going to work, so I leave. It yields me being chronically single. But I would much rather live 10 years of my life single, then spend 10 years of my life in a crappy relationship

But one really persistent ESTJ was crazy enough to marry me and we’ve been married for 6 years now and have 3 y.o. son. Point 5 is very accurate. I was planning to go live abroad, but my husband prefers to be relatively close to his family home. I don’t regret it. Regarding alone time - it’s also true. Especially when my son was very small baby I used to go out to the shopping centre in places nobody would know me.

For many years I did my best to suppress my natural personality traits and tendencies because I know many of them are the opposite of what society deems acceptable, and during that time I dated often. Now that I’ve grown a bit older and accepted who I am, I’ve become perpetually single. It just seems like a waste of energy at this point. Not everyone believes in a forever person. It’s not logical to believe in a forever person. You will grow and change through every phase of your life, and so will they. Believing you’ll always grow together is a lovely sentiment, but very unlikely. So you’re either going to inevitably part someday, or you’re going to keep someone around you don’t relate to anymore because commitment (and divorce is expensive). I think once an INTJ has been brutally honest with themselves about what relationships actually are, it becomes quite difficult to desire them.

Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you found a way to live your life that suits your lifestyle.

I support your decision either way ✊

I don't really know if I'm an INFP or INTP female but what I do know is that I've really fallen in love with an INTJ. I have a male INTJ friend. He's the only one I talk to who doesn't make me sound like a crazy weirdo from Mars. Our conversations are very weird but he makes me feel like it's really normal. We talk about everything. Philosophy, astronomy, psychology, physics, weird theories. We talk and discuss everything you can imagine. When I talk to him about a problem that's bothering me, after he insists that I tell him what's bothering me (even though I rarely talk about my feelings or problems), I find his words very rational and logical. It's like damn, man, give me a chance to be a little dramatic. How can you always be right?lol...... He's not only smart and confident but he's serious and hardworking and organized too. I appreciate that very much, even though I'm the complete opposite of him at this point. I'm very chaotic and random. But yes, I'm hardworking work, but I'm not obsessed...

Hahahahaha! Your comment about INFP dating also made me laugh so hard! It's true that we dont have the same methods when it comes to dating compared to INTJ's, but I wanted to explain how it works with our cognitive functions so its not so intimidating to INTJ's (or precieved as a waste of time ;) Dating for INFP's is not linear. We dont know the exact route to get to where we want to go. We dont have a "blueprint" of what we want the future to look like. (Like Ni does). Instead, we're going on a road trip; we see the finish line, the destination, with the beautiful surroundings, luxurious accommodations, and fun activites to participate it. But we dont know all the details of how to get there or best route to take. So we need a few things to help us get there: Fi, our Compass, holds the secret core of what we're looking for in a relationship. It holds our most treasured ideas, dreams, and goals we want for our future with someone to be like). It always knows which way to point, even when we get lost and dont know where we are. However, we need more than just the "idea"/compass of what we're looking for in order to make that dream a reality. That's where Ne comes in. We need more detailed information in order to make a more accurate and informed decision on where to go or where to start. This can only come through "information gathering" (Ne), usually a combination of both research and personal experience. If Fi is the Compass, Ne is the Regional Map we use to travel down the new and unfamiliar. This map constantly updates and expands depending on where we are or where we want to go. Whatever data is gathered from Ne is sent to Fi, and then Fi either recalibrates and changes the direction or gives the green light to keep going the current trajectory. (Sometimes Ne experience also re-adjusts the Fi compass as well, like how Te can update Ni for INTJ's). All that information gathered by Ne, (whether approved by Fi or not) is then stored in Si for future reference. Si records previous information gathered about highways, ditches, road blocks, or bumpy roads and then informs Fi of which areas to avoid or actively look for in the future. Si is the Satellite Database (like the Cloud or like those up close photos in Google Maps) that informs and updates the Fi compass and Ne regional map of the best direction(s) to go. It can zoom in and out of photos and records everything with incredible accuracy. And finally, Te is the stick-shift Car we use to drive down all the different roads, paths, detours, and pit stops we take to get to our destination. It's a little awkward because the car is old and we're not familiar with driving stick-shift, but with enough time and practice, we get more comfortable. If we feel sufficiently supported from our Fi Compass, Ne Regional Map, and Si Satellite Database, we feel confident and empowered to jump in the car and just drive. It's a relatively slow and sometimes a bumpy and unpleasant ride, but what we gain through the entire journey and reward we reach at the end makes everything worthwhile.

video had a lot of great points. Felt nice to be so seen and understood in video format lol. like watching a doctor dissect my brain. And I don't know if it's because I'm a younger INTJ or because of the way I was raised but I definitely err on the side of "focusing on the big picture and chasing goals". That resonated very deeply with me. I've imagined many times what I would have to do in order to make a relationship work, the compromises i'd have to make in my personal goals and my sleep-work-sleep lifestyle, And then I've thought about what type of person I'd have to find in order to justify dropping my lifestyle and doing those things... So far my experiences have made me conclude that the reward hasn't been worth the risk of abandoning personal goals. I think for the INTJ it's really a matter of priorities and the person you meet. In my past relationships I naturally spent less time chasing goals, less time doing what I wanted so the relationship could live, but then at some point I realize I've been taking a backseat on my goals, and while I enjoy being around the person, I'd rather be doing what I truly want, and my priorities aren't really focused around a partner. when this happens is usually when the relationship ends. Like you said in the video, for most INTJs, If we were to suddenly find a person that is okay with our lifestyle (rare) or find a person that's more gratifying to be with than our self-fulfilling goal focused way of life (also rare), or if we gave up and decided our goals aren't worth chasing, or if we lowered what we can tolerate in our partner... Maybe we wouldn't be single.

It really is difficult to find someone that will allow an INTJ to grow without holding us back but I know they're out there. I've been in healthy relationships before and the timing just wasn't right. If you're searching, I hope you find your person. Don't ever settle, it'll breed resentment ✊

Hi Jon. It's my turn to be that person that says "I usually don't comment on videos but..." I'm amazed at how accurate you are in your observations and your delivery. From several videos I've watched from you, everything you mention is so on point. I started to feel a bit like an outlier in relationships and in life, despite being around several like minded Ni doms. I find the process of relationship building to be extremely draining. Especially as a woman, the expectation that I have to be soft/spoken and emotionally caring and open was a weight that made some of my experience in my relationships honestly hell. I haven't had that much dating experience, but I have to say the INTJ I dated was the best so far despite our differences in values and Ni planning. We both experienced the "your life goals revolve around that person" phenomenon with each other and would talk about our plans for the future with each other and how we were going to resolve different issues that we were not going to encounter for a long time. Keep up the good work and thanks for taking your time and life experience and sharing it with us.

As intj I couldn't give up my sacred solitude, but I recognize that sometimes that solitude is a bit cold...and it warms my heart to know I'm not the only one in the world with this vision.

Since people of the INTJ type like to analyse (and sometimes overanalyse) everything, we also sometimes assume stances on romantic love in general that are less conventional as a result of that analysis. I also belong to this type, and I can say that I generally tend to view concepts such as "romantic love"/"being in love" critically. I see their historical origins (while many people perceive them as "natural" instead). I also see a lot of disfunctionality in the concept of "dating". I am capable of developing romantic and sexual attraction, and I have even been in a relationship based on "romantic love"™. However, as a get older, I realise that I don't have much use for this concept. I do, however, have use for the concept of "partnership". But I sincerely believe that "romantic love" (fleeting emotional state based on elevated hormone levels) is not a good foundation for a partnership for me (if it works for somebody else though, I am happy for them). Let me use an example from popular culture to illustrate what I mean. In the show called "The X-Files", the two main characters (agent Scully and agent Mulder) were partners in life: they had the same goal (searching for the Truth) and aims (keeping their project/life's work alive, investigating strange phenomena...), they risked their lives together for something important, went through a lot and, as a result, knew each other better than anyone could know them. Yet, they were not "dating", and you could more often see them hiding in the bushes and covered in slime while chasing aliens than having a "romantic dinner". I believe they have developed a romantic/sexual connection eventually, but this was such a small detail compared to the scale of their partnership (having the same life goal and saving each other's lives regularly is infinitely more important than "having butterflies in the stomach"). The romantic attraction was just an optional cherry on top, not the foundation of their relationship (the shared life's work was the foundation). I would like to have a partnership like that, based on the shared calling, not on "romantic love". Romantic attraction may or may not join the relationship later, it does not matter to me that much, to be honest. Unlike with romantic attraction, however, you cannot find a partner to share your calling with on a dating app. It has to happen naturally. You just work and grow in your field, hoping that one day you will come across a person who is driven towards the same goal with the same passion.
@justcallmejon22
@justcallmejon22 9 месяцев назад
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on love! I'm the opposite, I want the butterfly feeling and the instability of emotions because I allow someone to have that much control over me. However, I only want it with one person and that person has to show that they are worth it. I wouldn't mind the relationship you mentioned between Scully and Mulder going on adventures together either but I know myself well enough that my Fi would need more of an emotional connection. If you haven't found your partner yet, I hope you find that person soon and if you're single by choice, I support that decision as well ✊

Love it. I can relate to these and I am grateful of you sharing this for all of us. I was close to a isfj however, after 8 years of testing (I waited that long because I was still young and hope that person would grow), yep- it a no. The relationship was like a follower and leader kind and that isfj just love for what I do (not who I am), needed more validation/ social interaction (less social means were not close) to which annoys me. I don’t need much validation or social compare to that isfj (I care more of quality over quantity), but of action like asking me to help you with something and under the sea level connections. I’m keeping my morals high and won’t compromise or waste my time on someone who doesn’t have depth, authenticity, the understanding pain/struggle/ of being an outsider of society, etc. I hope some INTJs know that you’re not alone and I too, as an ENFP get you 😊

Okay, I usually don't comment that much but your videos are super interesting. As an INTJ woman who is also interested in women... this is very accurate. I find it even harder to connect with women romantically because I miss all the clues to courtship or I don't know how to flirt with someone naturally. At least, with men, it's easier to know if a guy is flirting with you but with women omg.... this is another language haha.

Actually, you can get good at this if you want to, many woman are. I am a straight man and I see woman all the time I know are only into girls. There are LOTS of little things girls do to advertise quietly (or otherwise) that they are into girls. Something it's as simple as a Rainbow bracelet, that can get you hit on! Touch and eye contact tell you 80% of everything you need to know. The only way your are going to understand those signals is to go out into the world, take risks and learn. People always say you need to have "confidence". Pure BS! I've got it now, and I got from making every mistake possible and learning to read peoples behavior. Your knowledge and chances go up literally 100% every time you have an "experience". Ha! Of course many of them will not be compatible with us, but over time you get better at spotting them too! It's a game to figure out the variables and you my friend are MUCH better suited to figure this out than 95% of the population. Have fun, it's just a game!
