An informal diagnosis means a doctor said you were but you never went through the formal diagnostic process

I don’t use Reddit much and am just wondering if any members are here from the main intp females group on FB.

I suspect this to be more likely in female INTPs. My thinking preference is 51%. I’ve got this result twice (today and a few weeks ago). Who else here is the same?

Hi everyone! I've recently been made a mod of r/wintp. A subreddit for and about Women INTPs.

I'm taking steps to revive it including updating the banner, adding a colour scheme, adding flairs and posting more. Feel free to join us over there, as it'll hopefully be a little more active than this one! Adding a post on there would be super helpful too.

It's so hard when your friends abandon you and don't realize how important they were to you.

So, I've been feeling the need for a change in direction (again). I want to head the right way this time. I've worked a quite a few different jobs, have enjoyed working libraries, galleries, museums etc for a while and loved it but need something more fulfilling post-pandemic. (I really wish i could've been been more helpful though the rough patch?). I think I maybe need or want to help in a more physically & immediately helpful response? Suggestions?

Hi I just turned 14, and as a female INTP I was overjoyed when I realized this exists. I’m about to be in my Sophomore year in high school (I believe that is Grade 10) I’m technically seen as the smart small child of my class and its nice that they respect me for who I am. I’m at least acquaintances with everyone my class as we’ve been together for 2 years in a row but I don’t belong in a specific friend group, usually they’d find me alone at my desk happily reading a book I borrowed from the library that morning or tutoring a group of people before an exam.

(I skipped grade 3 and started early if that answers any of your questions)

I have a close friend who’s an ENTP (F) she’s older than I am of course, turning 15 this year.

So, anyone wanna chat?

Recently discovered I'm an Intp lady.

Really struggling to fit in anywhere and maintain relationships. Crippled by anxiety.

Nearly 2/3 of my life has been in therapy but it hasn't helped. I'm thinking maybe it's my personality? A puzzle piece that just doesn't fit.. I don't know, I'm clutching at straws here. Just trying to work out what is wrong so I can fix it.

I'd be really interested to hear if any other ladies have had any issues?

Y'all need to talk more often

I love her. Very much so. But, I can't help but feel so invalidated. I value communication while it exhausts her. She has made excuses in order to stop texting me because it's just that difficult for her. I value words of affirmation and physical touch while she sees no need for it. I do things for her and say things to her that lets her never have to question my affection for her. She has yet to ever reach out to me first or do something to overtly display her affection for me. She's intelligent, quirky, and kind, but she leaves me wanting so much more in order to feel like I'm in a fulfilling relationship. I'm sure she thinks she's trying, and I don't want to pressure her and come across as overwhelming or clingy. I want to have a relationship that consists of more than just acknowledging each other's existence.

In my 46 years on earth, I have not yet met another female INTP in real life. I've debated the reasons why: 1. their introverted nature means they are out less in public, 2. we are good at faking normal for short periods of time and thus make it difficult to identify as INTP, and 3. perhaps I'm just hanging out in the wrong places.

Thus my question to you all: if I'm looking for like minded women, where would I find you? Just on the internet?

Please bear with me while I rant and hopefully this doesn't upset your day too much. This video came up in my youtube recommends (I seem to be ironically getting a lot of Jordan Peterson lately.)

I am tired of this idea that women like to be abused. Whether it's the alpha male/pick up artist nonsense. It's a dominate or be dominated perspective, if men are not an alpha and don't dominate women, then they must be a beta and like to be dominated.

And also it's this idea that women enjoy being abused or can consent to being abused (behold the sacred cow of "consent"). Too many people think that women are natural "masochists" who enjoy being submissive and being hurt on some level. It's fine with us. We enjoy submitting, we like being dominated. We like alpha males. We like bad boys.

Also this is really harmful because the entire damage of rape which sexist/misogynist men use to keep us in line is the violation that women beat themselves up for the rest of their life thinking that for some small moment their body responded and they were perverted enough to "enjoy it" and "enjoy" submitting sexually and being dominated sexually. Violation is erased. (You have sexual abusers and rapists arguing that "It wasn't rape because she enjoyed it. She wanted it.") It's all blaming the victim and as far as I can see it's the root of the gender hierarchy.

The underdog is made into a natural underdog, that's who they are. This is sad.

Then enter all the "choice feminists", it's a good choice to do this, it's a bad choice to do that. ("Make the choice to stop dating bad boys" or "BDSM is fine, it's a good choice." "BDSM is bad it's a bad choice.") You have therapists telling women, "Make the right choice." Or they will give women therapy to get out of their masochism and "traumatic bonding" or "Stockholm Syndrome" (what a magnificent derailment, women in a condition of oppression are now crazy and have delusions to be fixed instead of fixing the oppression) while not actually working on women's oppression, the real problem. Because those women are broken and wrong and disordered and making the wrong choice (women don't need more power and money and a larger range of choice, they need therapy and to be manipulated and controlled). When do we stop making things into women's good choice or bad choice and start talking about feminism as a political matter and women's oppression and lack of choice ?
