Does your curiosity cross personal boundaries and annoy or disturb the people around you? Is this an INTP trait or a trait of other types? Do INTPs run into this problem? How do you handle the situation?
I’m too goddamn curious about everything. I ask questions about everything and apply the same methods to myself, which occasionally leads me to view life in a very cynical and depressing way.
Sometimes I don’t understand when to stop prodding and I constantly want to know why other people believe or act in certain ways, which ends up irritating them, because they believe I’m challenging their authority or attempting to debate, but I really want to understand what their reasons are.
It seems most people hold strong beliefs and instead of discussing these subjects in an open and honest way, they prefer to remain adamant and not explore other possibilities.
However, perhaps I am approaching them too bluntly, by cutting out the small talk and diving straight into meaningful conversation. I have no right to interfere with people, even if I am friends with them, but I am too goddamn curious about why things are the way they are.
