Most people would feel a difference, I guess? Pressure could be a factor, yes. I also think sensory overload has somet... |

| I love being alone. Doing the things I want (reading, studying, internet, thinking, daydreaming) without interruption from other people. No small talk, emotions I don't understand, and so on.

| I can relate to Tuttle's post. It's something with processing the information of the world that goes wrong or is, to say it nicer, different than by NT'ers.

| INTJ :) Indeed, the INxJ types are very rare in the general population. I've read somewhere xNxx-people are more seldom that xSxx-people and the combination of N and J is very rare. And, of course, there are less introverts than extroverts. Sources telling us about the frequency of specific personal... |
