We are independent thinkers who like to explore new ideas and concepts. We are often very good at problem-solving and thinking outside the box.

6 Relatable Challenges of Being an INTP Male

  1. Fitting In

INTP males often feel like outsiders in a world that is geared towards other personality types. We don’t always fit in with the traditional masculine ideal and can often feel like we don’t quite belong.

Being rare adds to this feeling of isolation. According to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, only 3% of the population is INTP. So it can be difficult to find others who understand us and our unique perspective.

  1. Dealing With Emotions

INTP males are often not in touch with their emotions. This can make it difficult to understand and express how we’re feeling. We may come across as cold or uncaring to others when in reality we are just uncomfortable with emotions.

It can be hard for us to deal with strong emotions, especially when they are directed towards us. We may feel overwhelmed and quickly retreat to our safe place.

INTP males are not naturally good at handling conflict. We tend to avoid confrontation and may try to ignore problems instead of dealing with them head-on.

This can lead to tension and misunderstandings, especially in relationships. We need to learn to communicate our thoughts and feelings honestly, even if it means stepping outside of our comfort zone.

  1. Connecting With Others

INTP males often have a hard time connecting with others. We may feel like we don’t really understand them or that they don’t understand us.

We can struggle to build meaningful relationships, especially with people who are very different from us. It’s important for us to find others who share our interests and can appreciate our unique perspective.

  1. Expressing Ourselves

INTP males often have difficulty expressing themselves. We feel like our thoughts and feelings are too complex for others to understand.

We often communicate better through writing or other forms of communication that allow us to edit and revise our thoughts. It can be challenging for us to open up and be vulnerable with others.

  1. Making Decisions

INTP males are not naturally good at making decisions. We often struggle with anxiety over making the wrong choice.

We like to have all the information before making a decision, which can sometimes lead to us feeling paralyzed and unable to act.

It’s important for us to learn to trust our intuition more even though we’re a Ti dom users and to make decisions even if we don’t have all the information.
