In the MBTI system, I wavered at some point between INFJ and INFP, but primarily between INTP and INTJ. Ultimately, I settled (unsatisfactorily) on INTP. I thought I could be a F-type mainly because the emotional detachment of the INTP bothered me, and I considered myself potentially being a J-type because P-types' lack of rigidity didn't feel…Read more

Deciding to leave the house without necessity is a battle I fight with all my strength. I call myself a hermit because I can…Read more
