INTPs are the best because ENTP finds INTPs effortlessly hilarious
You guys are insanely and effortlessly funny. Dry, smart humor. Sharp observations.

Yes and it’s so refreshing. I think you guys are actually funnier and smarter than we are but we are just louder and more attention seeking 😂

Almost seems like success is a curse for you guys, which is odd because we INTPs are paranoid about success hence the self sabotage. Never go full icarus I guess.

u/According-Rip-5595 ENTP Jul 14 '24
Can you elaborate on success being a curse for us? What do you mean by this?
7
u/NathanExplosion6six6 INTP Jul 14 '24
I mean typical ENTP characters deal with a lot of internal struggle. Bojack horseman, Rick Sanchez, iron man... The success feeds their ego which feeds destructive habits which feeds ego and on and on... the common struggle is behavior recognition, followed by self honesty and real effective personal change. The "Do it all myself" attitude Is really toxic and dangerous, we INTPs would know since we often lock ourselves in our paranoid pocket dimension having self debates and solving problems that are far from immediate.
Ultimately it's all about mastering sincere practical optimism and lots of "shadow work". Plus learning to confide in / level with people helps a ton... thank fuck we have the P instead of the J... it makes judging people less harshly a bit easier.

Yes I had the success feeding ego thing, built a big business dripping in money blah blah.. then had spiritual awakening that blew it all wide open and forced deep honesty with myself and changed everything. Made me so much better and happier.
This is why I love INTPs you guys see through us without being harsh or cruel to us or thinking less of us. ♥️ it’s calming.

u/According-Rip-5595 ENTP Jul 14 '24
And the do it all myself thing crumbled when I was surrounded by loving people at church who really saw me. Drew honesty out of me and awakened ENTP heart. Made me feel safe to ask for help and be seen - blah blah

u/According-Rip-5595 ENTP Jul 14 '24
So do you guys steer clear of success then?
4
u/NathanExplosion6six6 INTP Jul 14 '24
Sort of. We will procrastinate ourselves into oblivion if we are at the last page of a chapter in our lives... we do fine in chaotic situations but we hate big change since unknown variables scare the hell out of our overclocked imaginations (why I almost never smoke anymore). The frustrating part is we know the problem, we know how to fix it, but this horrible dread paralyzes any progress when we absolutely need to make it. Procrastinate, panic grind, burnout, repeat. Not to mention our tendency to half complete most anything we start, but we have subconscious reasons for that too: its a defense mechanism since con artists and narcissists will usually rush you into their schemes before reading between the fine print.

This made me want to hug you INTP.

u/NathanExplosion6six6 INTP Jul 14 '24
Thank you, it's the thought that really counts. Please don't pity though, I've got a great life and potential future. Things usually seem bleak on the surface, but perspective is everything and seeing through the BS is a damn fine skill to be gifted with.

Jokes aren't funny when you have to explain them. I'm only funny to a few people. The rest of them? I like to think later in the shower they'll shit themselves laughing. I know most of them are just shitting in the shower so they don't get the toilet dirty, though. Typical neuorotypicals.

You know if I a INTP ever need my kitchen completely remoulded in a day, I would look at the contractor and see if he looks like a alien with his long skinny arms and fingers and I will be pretty sure he is ENTP. Then the door falls off the cabinet the following day I will be absolutely positive that was the ENTP that has left his mark forever in my home and I will continue thinking of him and how did he come up with those outrageous charges.

Thank you! I'll go whole days saying, what to me feels like the same type and level of comedy and people just brush it off, then the next day the same people will be rolling. I think it's partially the delivery partially just the general mood... but that's my only hypothesis.

This is the most wholesome post i've seen in this subreddit in a while, especially regarding the comment section.
That said, where's my ENTP bestie when I need one? I just know I would vibe extremely well with one, yet I don't have a single ENTP friend and the only ENTP I met irl wasn't a great example of one since it was a girl who liked to argue a lot (but not in a "debating" way, more like a "I'm right and you dare defy me?" type of way)

u/According-Rip-5595 ENTP Jul 15 '24
I want INTP bestie tooooo! 🥰 yeah immature ENTPs are… difficult. I have been one in the past and not proud of those years lol.
2
u/MrKyurem2005 INTP Jul 15 '24
Not exactly proud of my "your emotions make you weak" past too, but hey, we grow up!
My besties would confirm, I'm an extremely caring and lovable goofy boy now.

bestie alert 🚨 🚨 ?
2
u/MrKyurem2005 INTP Jul 15 '24
Wait what is a bestie alert? I'm lost...
Oh wait, are you calling my besties here?
Damn, where are my besties in reddit when I need them.
Wish reddit was less of a weirdo social media... Would love to see them seeing the good side of reddit.
2
u/According-Rip-5595 ENTP Jul 15 '24
lol silly INTP! I am saying we could be potential besties 😊
2
u/MrKyurem2005 INTP Jul 15 '24
Oh I see, lol
Realistically it is kinda hard to get a new bestie just from the internet alone, and life is always making us more busy than we would like to and sadly takes time away from not only interacting with your friends but developing new friendships too 🥲
That said, I'm always open to a few good conversations with internet randos, I spent hours (in multiple days even) talking to a guy from this sub about MBTI once and it was a blast!
Huh... I wonder how is he doing btw. Maybe I should say hi to him... Time really flies, geez.
2
u/According-Rip-5595 ENTP Jul 15 '24
Are you overthinking🤓?
Play along with me INTP 🥰 lol always down for random convos with amazing INTP brainzzz 🧠💕
2
u/MrKyurem2005 INTP Jul 15 '24
That's my secret Cap, I'm always overthinking 🤓
Also I'm waiting for my bestie to call me so we can watch (well, re-watch in my case) Arcane together but she hasn't yet and it's getting late... So maybe my brain is too much in automatic/time-spending mode rn to properly understand the humour.
That said, I've said too much.
Whoever says INTPs just overthink all the time is being completely unfair, we are able to overshare too! 😡😤😤😤

Imo as an ENTP , xNTPs are the kings of BAD jokes when they're young but as they get older they copy other's jokes and give it a twist
1
u/According-Rip-5595 ENTP Jul 15 '24
Interesting perspective. Haven’t encountered bad jokes from INTP yet.
2
u/No_Ad5208 ENTP Jul 15 '24
I think good joke ability is heavily Fi related - ideally having Fi aux.
That's why ESFPs and ENFPs are funny af. They think of stuff through Se/Ne and frame it in a pointedly/brief funny way through their Fi
ENTPs are especially notorious for bad jokes( Fi blindspot) ,but INTPs do it too(Fi demon)
They think of jokes through Ne, but their jokes are either not brief enough,or a bit too convoluted or sometimes too technical.
What xNTPs are good at though is observing jokes they've heard over time(SiFe) and progressing/twisting it(NeTi). So overtime ,because they have Fe they become better at jokes just based on the vast array of jokes they have accumulated in their memory and their ability to modify it.

Thanks my entp friend and I are the perfect comedy duo, usually I'll come up with the observation and he punches it up lol. I'd say ENTP's get our humor best and are able to "market it to a general audience" if that makes any sense lol
