[quote=Anonymous]I'm right on the border between ENTP and INTP.

I have been told I'm intimidating to younger/less experienced folks; which is not something I intended to be and not sure how to change.

Most of my closest friends are definitely "E"s...it wasn't until the last few years that I really noticed how their interactions seemed different than mine. Eg, we will be out at a coffee shop with our kids and they will strike up conversation with other moms, get to know the owner, etc. yet somehow this doesn't 'happen' to me. I know that sounds rather ridiculous -- but it's how I perceive it. As far as I'm aware, I'm very polite, well-groomed, etc., intelligent, aware of social norms, but I am coming to believe that my 'I' and 'T' characteristics come off as less approachable, more closed. And I don't launch into conversations -- what I would think of as an overshare to a 'stranger' is more 'normal' to them.

I don't like to talk about feelings and have a hard time verbalizing them, but absolutely have very strong reactions and emotions on the inside. This is an ongoing challenge in my marriage, as my DH is an INTJ so has the same issue.
