The INTP is a personality type that is most known for their quiet, easy going and flexible
nature.
However, because they can so easily spot the logical inconsistencies in the systems and
arguments, they can become triggered over simple societal norms that others are completely
blind to.
So, what are the INTP pet peeves, and why?
Welcome or welcome back Psych-o!

Alright, jumping right into the video, starting with..
Number 1: Small talk Let’s start off by saying there’s not
too many introverts that actually enjoy the act of small talk, however, for an INTP, and
a few other intuitive introverted types, small talk and other societal expectations just
don’t really make sense.
For an INTP personality type, they don’t see why humans would waste time talking about
unimportant topics like the weather when there are so many other intellectual things to talk
about.
In fact, this disinterest in engaging in small talk and useless commentary can make the INTP
come off as a little cold and distant to people that don’t understand their logical thinking
patterns.
Luckily, the logical side of an INTP understands the importance of connection, therefore they
learn to engage in these types of conversations just to seem like a normal functioning human
because the last thing they want to be asked is if something is wrong.
Number 2: Too much detail INTPs use their intuitive function when making
decisions and looking at situations from all angles, which means they tend to see the big
picture behind things.
While this allows the INTP to easily brainstorm new ideas, innovate different possibilities
and daydream about the outcome of their actions, they can easily get overwhelmed by the actual
details and mundane tasks that go into that larger goal.
The INTPs are often viewed as one of the daydreaming personality types, always in their heads,
thinking and analyzing their thoughts.
So when it comes time for day-today tasks and routines, they easily become disinterested.
This makes jobs and lifestyles that require routine to be especially difficult for this
personality type, and although they are fully capable of completing such tasks, they will
get bored quickly and may even become fussy about having to do them.
Number 3: Illogical beliefs Often referred to as the logician personality
type, the INTP approaches the world with complete logic.
They need the world around them to make total logical sense for them to feel fully comfortable
and they do so by continuously analyzing and poking holes in illogical beliefs and systems.
INTPs have a hard time accepting the fact that people hold such firm beliefs in seemingly
illogical topics like religion, politics, philosophical worldviews, and any questionable
systems that have been put in place by higher power.
In fact, an INTP can become quite bothered when people make decisions just because it
feels right to them, with no logical details to back them up.
This curiosity allows them to understand some topics much deeper than others, however, it
can also cause them to come off as insensitive and invalidating to other people’s emotions.
Number 4: Being pressured to talk about their feelings
Not only are INTPs often uncomfortable when it comes to talking about other people’s
emotions, but they are just as uncomfortable with facing and discussing their own feelings.
Because this logical personality type views every matter through their logical lens, they
usually aren’t checking in on how they feel about a matter before making moves, as long
as all the logical details are lined up.
Therefore, they often require much more time than the average person to process their emotions.
As the INTP is already known to be private by nature, they keep the emotions they do
have to themselves, sometimes even hiding them from their closest friends and family.
So, if they feel pressured to discuss their unprocessed or deeply hidden emotions with
someone else, they can easily become distant and disconnected, not to mention, hating every
second they’re being challenged on sharing them.
Number 5: Not getting enough alone time
As most introverts require a significant amount of alone time to either process their emotions,
recharge their social battery, and analyse their deepest thoughts in privacy, the INTP
is no different.
In fact, this logician personality type needs their solitude to effectively feed their curious
mind.
They enjoy solo activities like reading, gaming and journaling as well as simply daydreaming
and enjoying their complex inner world that seems to be much more interesting than the
one outside their doorstep.
Without this solitude, the INTP can become irritable, disconnected, and even mentally
and physically drained.
And this goes with feeling tied down in a job or relationship which holds them back
from being independent as well, which the INTP does not do well with.
Number 6: Celebrity gossip
One of the main illogical interests of society that the INTP cannot wrap their heads around
is the interest in celebrity gossip, or any gossip for that matter.
This personality type can’t see the logic or value in keeping up on the latest gossip
of who is dating who, who’s friends with who, and so on, and that goes for the personal
lives as well which makes it difficult to engage in a lot of conversations as that’s
usually the topic of most small talk.
The INTP values authenticity, truth and intelligence in the topics that interest them, so they
completely disvalue the concept of worshiping people you don’t really know.
Number 7: Lack of meaning in their lives Just as the INTP can’t stand the concept
of meaningless banter about other people, this personality type craves deep meaning
in all aspects of their lives.
They can’t go about life doing one mundane task to the next, just trying to get by and
race to the finish line.
Whether it’s meaningless romantic relationships, meaningless friendships, meaningless careers
and projects, the INTP who sees the bigger picture of things, can’t help but to distance
themselves from anything that doesn’t drive their passion.
To work a 9-5 for the sole reason of receiving a paycheck isn’t enough for this type, in
fact it will only be a matter of time before they find themselves completely hating it,
even if it’s a decent job with a decent pay.
Number 8: Having to make quick decisions The logical mind of the INTP requires seeing
things from all angles, including all the minute details before making a sure decision.
Due to their perceiving nature, they tend to care deeply about the decision making process
by not solely focusing on the end result.
Therefore, when an INTP is pressured to make a spontaneous decision based on their feelings,
they can freeze and ruminate on whether or not their decision was the best one possible.
While this trait can sometimes leave them in an overthinking cycle that ends up being
less efficient than desired, quick decisions are not an INTP fortay.
Number 9: Societal norms that don’t make sense
Rules, practices and systems that have little logical significance are one of the INTPs
biggest pet peeves.
While the majority of society accepts things like rules in the workplace and laws passed
by government for what they are, the INTPs independent and fiercely logical mind goes
to work trying to find holes in the logic behind it.
For this reason, the INTP has a hard time following rules and accepting societal standards
if they don’t hold up to their logical reasoning.
Even simple things such as gender roles, family traditions and orthodox means of living can
erk this personality type which can make them seem rebellious, and even stubborn at times,
when in reality, their logical thought process probably makes a lot of sense.
Number 10: Sugar coating details
INTPs are..
Blunt.
And they usually expect the same from the people around them as they don’t use emotion
to navigate their decision making process.
They tell it like it is and only want to be told like it is because they never want to
sacrifice the truth for means of being polite.
They genuinely appreciate honesty in conversations and begin to feel uncomfortable when someone
is holding back their honesty in an effort to spare the feelings of an INTP.
Facts are facts, and the delivery is unimportant, as long as the facts are coming through clearly.
This means, the INTP also doesn’t fully understand why their direct approach in conversations
may seem harsh or insensitive because they are only trying to deliver their message as
clearly as possible, making sure nothing comes off as misconstrued.
In other words, the INTP is great for giving advice, but not exactly the person that would
lend a shoulder to cry on.
Well, that's it for today, psych-os.
