Hey, everyone.
I know I wasn't able to get a second INTJ blog out this week. On time. I've been quite busy with the holiday coming up, looking for a job, and the fact that we got a giant snowstorm a few days ago which meant a lot of snow clearing had to be done. But, I found a quick, little thing that I could respond to right now.
So, I found this article called "This Is What It’s Like To Date You, Based On Your Myers-Briggs Personality Type" by Thinkpedia. And seeing as how they seem to think they know what's what with us INTJs, I decided to set the record straight. So, here's what they have to say about us (grammatical corrections made):
"You’re the one that’s known as being 'forever single.' You’ve convinced yourself and everyone else around you that you just simply don’t have enough time to date. You’re busy. And you don’t want to waste your time dating around in hopes of miraculously finding 'the one.' So, until you can see long-term potential in the horizon with someone, you aren’t really interested in devoting much time to a relationship, but once you do find that, it’ll be a game changer."
For starters, I'm a little pissed because they don't even go into what it is actually like to date an INTJ. I have a feeling this was written by someone who has never spoken to or interacted with an INTJ, as if all their knowledge is based off a portfolio they read on us. The fact that they carry on for a whole paragraph about how we avoid relationships is a huge indicator of their ignorance.
Secondly, I don't know about other INTJs, perhaps this is another way I buck the stereotype, but I ain't never said this sh*t. True, I am forever alone, but that's got more to do with who I am as a person, stand-offish and sort of eclectic, and what I value, as in I don't value traditional wealth and material objects as much as other people do. I've also never said that the reason why I'm single is because I don't have the time. I've got plenty of time. I've got time for days. It's rare that I am ever out of time. This time of me being busy is extremely unusual and I f*cking hate it. It all goes back to the fact that INTJs don't like being fenced in and right now I'm feeling really fenced in. Anyway...
The other thing is that I want a relationship. I want a girlfriend. I crave intimacy, and I want to love and be loved. Although, I do agree with the sentiment that dating to miraculously find the one is complete BS. Seriously, we should just interview prospective mates and be done with it rather than mucking about with dating. I'm not saying we should throw out courtship, just that icky part where we're trying to find someone special.
Anyway, though, that's it from me. I told you this would be short. I'm not even going to include an ad or a picture. But I will create a cover image.
Keep writing, my friends.
