Im a 27 yr old istp and this explained my process to a T. Two years ago i learned to break down my large goal (of finishing college) into smaller chunks and keeping my head down to get it finished knowing that success was far away but all that mattered at the moment was that day or that week. before then, i did not think far into the future and lived day by day, as is my default mode of living. I also did not move out until i was forced to lol. very accurate for me.
@@marcomassella2186 Lol, I always think that at age 25 I will start to really be successful. It's like this strong Ni telling me that I will succeed, but I can't really explain it to anyone. Do you guys have that too? ~ISTP
I'm writing a short story where the protagonist is an ISTP and her "hero's journey" was sort of all over the place. This video has really helped me reign it in.
Ti/Ne here. I've said this a million times before, but having kids was the catalyst for my own journey. The old me had to die. It was (and continues to be) fucking brutal - but it is so, so worth it.
At 32yo I find myself painstakingly at times working with my Fe and regardless of how awkward or downright uncomfortable it may be I always FEEL more “human” or “alive” then I’d previously felt in my earlier years. Sometimes I want to cry about all the moments in life I missed with people because I was sooo caught up in that Ti/Ni loop. Thank you for this video, it helps remind me I’m headed the right way.
For me, I've basically come to realize that my point of view, although possibly correct, doesn't matter to anyone else and me internalizing this without sharing is completely useless to my success. It is only relevant to my personal pursuit of truth, which is the ultimate internal goal of lead Ti users, but this doesn't actually bring us happiness in the future because our "demon" functions develop and require more stimulation. I think going out and building relationships with people, whether it be business or intimate, is a good way to start on this path of discovering what you want to get out of Fe or what you can do to utilize it effectively. I never gave a fuck about people and their problems really because lead Ti users tend to take a "figure it out yourself" attitude because that's what we tend to do ourselves. Now at 28 I kind of give a fuck sometimes and I think that is good enough for right now. I want people to come to the realizations that I have about life so they can better themselves and acknowledge their own goals. But first lemme install this Playstation emulator to my laptop so I can play THPS2 and throw a dip in.
I've written 3 real life aplied examples, if you scroll up. It might not be interesting to you today, but then again it might be interesting. I cannot judge that. So anyway: feel free to scroll up or leave it haha :D. Bye!
I don't really relate. Some of us were forced to pay too much attention to the tribe early in life. ISTPs are not well equipped to sort out emotional abuse. It's a relief, later, to let go of that and live on our own terms.
My dad istp/my hero: Worked at a social workplace leading a tech team with disabilities, and at home created tools and crafted things that helped people with disabilities, those works of him created work for disabled people
yes, istp have so much problem with handling their feeling cuz they keep bottle it up untill that emotion become overwhelmed. Thank you so much for the story, very inspiring.💙
I always say I hate emotions. Like this is stupid and I don't need this feeling shit and I can do so much more with my time and projects I have without the emotion to distract me. Sometimes it literally aggravates me to love/miss my boyfriend lol. So I break down the emotions in a way I can understand. I'm human and we want to be social creatures and have a companion. I care for my companion and this is a natural feeling so I should accept it, embrace it etc and move on and everything is fine. Then I start to think maybe I'm half fucking robot simply because of the way I think lol. Fuck it.
This sounds a lot like the story of Oliver Queen from the show "Arrow." He is also ISTP and especially in the latest season you see him still learning this lesson more than ever now actually. Totally accurate.
For the longest time I have been working on Ti Se Ni in that order. I worked on them for so long because I believed they were the problem. But in fact they were not. I am currently working on my Fe my showing more visual cues and sharing my knowledge.
My true emotions are usually locked between theodosian walls of defense mechanisms, and nothing is probabebly going to be able to change that, hence why i will probably never be able to feel any emotions and empathy towards the majority of people. However through realising that its (dreadfully so) far easyer to get far in life though social networking, i do train my social skills and Ti substitute Fe aka cognitive empathy allmost every day. For what use are ones skills, if no one is ever gonna be open for them, due to their own bad emotionally prejudice? -ISTP
These are the kinda istps I like to hear about, not those lazy bum istps all over reddit ;p I probably fall into more Ti Ni though, love me some meditation This video was spot on with my tenacity towards goals and sharing knowledge with others, the quotes too
As an ESFJ, I don't know a lot of ISTP strangely enough. Maybe because I work in the education field where people are mostly (I-J) or (E-J) people. Great video!
I really thought Tom was an ENFJ. Esp. considering his show w/ Tony Hawk. And, the whole reason he started a bar company (& later, a show). I can accept that he's a well balanced ISTP though. Good stuff.
Oh wow! I feel like I’m on the brink of that integrating, but it feels like boxing w T. Rex arms! I’ve walked away from dealing with the tribe to lick my wounds, only to find out I wounded the tribe member way worse only after talking w 3rd party. I know sounds vague but details not as important as to find out Ti doesn’t soothe and comfort-it’s like petting a dog w a Viking sword.
That is the last piece of my puzzle. 35, damn good marketer that no one knows... because I'm just starting to reach out and build the Fe. what a piece of Sh**.
Why does nobody take the ENFP seriously? Why are we always seen as goofy? I mean I am pretty goofy but I'm way more serious than people realise? Any other ENFP's have this problem?
Zoë Wilkes most ENFP's have same problem and this happen because no one deal with your inside world , they see only from the outside, and ENFP's from the out side they look fun but not smart and the mix of Ne and Fi make them talk nonsense stuff or looking for fun time only.
Zoë Wilkes An ENFP’s blindspot is Ti. The blindspot is always the 7th function. Ti is responsible for accuracy. This is important to note because ENFP’s utilize Ne and Te which allows them to be consistently objective- see every single angle of something, of all things, so many possibilities. However other people don’t understand because the ENFP will contradict themselves mid speech and the other person will be like “Huh?” They don’t have a sense of accuracy to the endless possibilities they’re always spitting. I kid you not, my sister, an ENFP, will say things like “yes.. no” and then look at me like she just said it all. And I’m like HUH. How the blindspot works is it’s only blind to you, so in theory you could see the blindspot in other ENFP’s but just not yourself. And you blame your 4th function to compensate, Si- reviewing the past almost like “Did I miss something?” The point is it’s hard to take someone seriously when they consistently contradict themselves and just spout over and over possibilities. Also society has trained people to respect serious quiet people instead of fun loving people, almost as if someone were quiet they probably sit at a desk all day learning things, there’s always that too.
Zachary Lane can you link me to somewhere which talks about the blind spots in depth please. I very much relate to your sister. I kind of live in this shrodingers tree of time lines "yes...no" the cat is to be considered both dead and Alive and as we don't know we must treat both possibilities as reality as both are currently true. But that does make me really unassertive because I can never pick a lane so to speak, I'm definitely the least detail oriented person I know, I find it extremely hard to focus on little details. People always say "you need to see the bigger picture" and I'm just like "that's literally the only picture I see I need a smaller picture please". I always thought your dominant function was the function you can't see, and that's why a lot of people type themselves wrong because what they're really observing is their middle functions because they can't see their number 1 saviour and are usually very protective and defensive about their inferior. I would love to know more about how the other four functions that aren't in my stack affect me. Why is Ti the hidden function for ENFP'S? I would assume it would either be Se or Ni
Is it true that ALL the people in the world NEVER take you serious? Extreme dramatic language. Try positive affirmations. If you want something from an istp or enfj for that matter: ask a clear question. Don't be dramatic or overly excited.
I would think that INTPs (which I am) bring a different type of awesomeness. We're not going to be "inspiring" like the Se/Ni balanced Ti lead. But in order to unlock our particular brand of Ne/Si balanced Ti awesomeness, the solution is the same: work out that Fe.
All of the IXXP types are similar in some respects, they all have a strong sense of identity because of their introverted decider (Fi or Ti). If their extroverted decider (Te/Fe) is strengthened enough to the point where they can effectively express this identity to others, they can be inspiring. Luke Reynolds is correct, it's important for all IXTPs to work on developing Fe. EXTPs have different issues, stemming from their tendency to over-gather through Ne or Se, and under-organize (inferior Ni/Si). The important thing to take away is to work on your inferior function, whatever that might be.
Dude I'm an istp and I'm in the dark hole part of the journey someone help lmao i don't fucking know how to do shit with people and it's ruining my life :)
What's w the weird quotes through the video. It's super distracting tbh. It was hard to concentrate on what you were saying. Just an Se observation from an ISTP.

I'm 37 & I can pretty much post this video on my TH-cam & call it "My life journey so far!" How can it be so accurate - it blows my mind!

I can’t understand how this is so accurate
ISTP here (22), shrooms kind of helped me realise I needed to ''wake the fuck up''
(just take 8g, once)
The fact that I’ve been 90% sure I just need a mental reset from shrooms or something and you comment this is golden

Involve the tribe, work with the tribe, cooperate with the tribe? Got it, too easy, ill do just that
AWESOME
SO ACCURATE!!
That is the last piece of my puzzle. 35, damn good marketer that no one knows... because I'm just starting to reach out and build the Fe. what a piece of Sh**.
Can Batman ever win? Only if the Joker never dies to live up to his expectations.
How about building fictional characters from a personality type they are supposed to be, like for writing or roleplaying and stuff?
Great idea, I think some writers actually use psychology when making characters so they're more relatable
So they hwve been the nest type all along then!

Or at least the INTPs ? with revelation the Fe is necessary the success ?

So what you are saying is, I should do drugs and go down that hole to start my hero journey afterwards?
Dude I'm an istp and I'm in the dark hole part of the journey someone help lmao i don't fucking know how to do shit with people and it's ruining my life :)
If I could Can I get my fe removed. Probably one day an istp neurologist will figure it out. Till then there’s drugs.
Anyone else think this wasn't very awesome and actually heavy af?
ESTP please🥰🥰❤
I'm probably ISTP TiNi
Pretty spot on I can say as a 15 year old istp
What's w the weird quotes through the video. It's super distracting tbh. It was hard to concentrate on what you were saying. Just an Se observation from an ISTP.
Im infj i heat istp
INTP?
INTP Awesomeness: Learning patience (Or studying the system as a whole instead of just the parts that are only relevant to yourself)
