It’s tough when you’re at an age where you’re suppose to want to fit in, but it’s just not for you. It can be lonely despite the value you might place in being alone. Regardless of how INTJ-y you are, you still have to deal with hormones, peer pressure, and knowing you’re different from pretty much everyone else. I want to tell you that this phase will pass, but honestly, we never really fit in. Despite a proven track record of being exceedingly capable and driven, I still sometimes wonder if I would be happier being less intelligent and more like everyone else. Don’t get me wrong, I like who I am, but I do wonder what it would be like to just fit in.
