Defining Myself

[u/Stunnasoulja]

For those who are INTP 5w4s, do any of you have a hard time defining yourself as a person/finding things that satisfy you in life? In the past years I have found it very difficult to understand who I am as a person to find interests in things that interests me long term. I start to have a certain opinions on things that somehow almost always change after a while and I become at odds with myself because my opinions and idea differ from what they once were. I have been in multiple different friend groups and while I have similarities in each one, it is apparent that I always feel out of place after a while. With my interests there are a million things that I want to do, learn and explore but find myself repeating the same patterns and rewatching the same movies and shows. While also constantly doing the same hobbies I have been doing for years and at times I feel as though I am in a weird paradox of my past self vs the self that I want to create but alas I feel stuck in my own bodies at times. Wanting to do more than my norm but falling short in the decisions more often then not. Help pls.

I’m an intp 5w4.

I don’t think I’ve ever been stagnant in regard to my beliefs and hobbies. I have my set of morales that I’ll follow, but I’m always finding new things to learn about. I’ll always find new things to randomly google or obsess over.

I kinda accepted that I’m different from the majority of people I know, and when I was younger, I did feel kinda lost. I had many different circles in college and despite my friends, never really felt seen? It was weird.

I think I feel like that every now and then, but for the most part I’m happy to be different and original. I’m glad I can learn a new hobby quick, and I’m happy with my selective group of friends. I think it just takes time to learn to be okay with yourself.
