Do you, an INTJ consider yourself fun to be around?

I have few friends, but the few that I have consider me a really funny guy. I just hear alot about INTJ's being people that give off a negative vibe because of well, you know how we are. But my friends love the cockiness and the witty remarks and things of that nature. Recently my humor has migrated to things that are kind of perverted and vulgar and people just love it.

Anyone here like George Carlin? Man I wish he was still around.

Certain people consider me to be fun, much in the ways you described. My personality and humor doesn't work for all people, but I'm not greatly concerned about those people anyway. For short periods of time I can adopt a somewhat non-INTJ humor style for dealing with people who I won't have to be around regularly.

George Carlin was great.

People kimd of like to be around me because i say the things that nobody else will. And i dont mince my words. Eg, "Does this skirt make my ass look fat?" "No, your fat ass makes your ass look fat".
Possibly harsh but true. They find it amusing. But they dislike me in other respects such as when i take charge, or i prove them wrong, and suddenly "It's not on!" when i tell the truth to them.

I do not consider myself 'fun' to be around, but those that I'm close to seem to think so. It's not in the list of adjectives that describe me first, though - 'intelligent' and 'bitch' come before 'fun'.


Who doesn't?


Haha, agreed. Actually, few friends that I had first met considered me a complete ass before they got to know me. Especially if I have friends from work, I bust alot of balls especially when theyre late. Boy does that get me fuming. I mean really. I had a person that was 5 minutes late every single day. EVERY day, is it really that hard to leave 5 minutes earlier, or wake up 5 minutes earlier? It makes me angry knowing that some people have NEVER been on time as if it was an impossible task, and people used to hate me every time I brought it up.

I am a love/hate personality. I can be funny, daring, and personable to people who get don't take me too seriously. To people who don't get it, they can find me very unpleasant to be around. Generally, with enough one-on-one time, people can find me fun, up until the point where I can be kind of brutal or selfish about my own desires... which isn't uncommon.

I'm not fun to be around. But, people seem to like me at first, then hate me, then slowly like me again.

Same.....although I am quite practiced at being perverse for some time now (I find I have to hold back quite a bit)....I think it may be a self defense mechanism that kicks in from being a little different and perhaps isolated from the other humans :bored:

I think, although I am quite complex and difficult (if anyone is in my face), I am a rort!!

I'm fun to be around (most of everything I say is a joke or an interesting bit of trivia) until someone gets close to me. Then I'm uncomfortable and angry and they can see how intense I really am and it's hard for both of us. However, if anyone manages to get through this I become fun again once I can't stop caring about the person. It's pretty sad, I admit, but I will try to stop caring about them pretty hard before this happens. They basically have to 'defeat' me. Ha Ha Ha.

Well, people I am/have been friends with seem to think I'm funny when I'm just talking; I'll just make a comment about something and get laughed at (which is slightly annoying but funny at the same time). Apparently I have a very dry sense of humor.
But I think I'm fun enough to be around once I get to know whoever it is I'm hanging around with.

That depends on the situation. If I'm comfortable with the crowd then I have no problem letting my hair down. Unfortunately this is typically rare. I've trained myself to push beyond that initial awkward silence and at least act conversational. Then, once utterly exhausted I crumple up and hibernate for a day or two. :tongue:
But most of the time I would consider myself business-like. That is, civil, curt, or just brooding. So unless it's a room of feelers or NTs, no I'm nerdy and serious.

I probably suck at recycling others' jokes but I like the intellectual challenge of coming up with something while listening to others talking - especially if it's in a foreign language and I have to make it short.
Who is this George Carlin? Guess I'll have to check him out on You Tube when I have audio again.

I definitely am in either one of two circumstances:

1: I'm around people who actually want to have coherent discussions about real topics. I can not only do that, but in a hilarious way as well. Or...

2: I'm around people who are relatively insane. I can instantly bond with anyone who appreciates surreal insane humor, and takes things so unseriously that they're never going to get angry about anything.

...Other than that, I can't. I can sit around eight boring people who want me to do something interesting, and it's just not going to happen if they're not willing to contribute. SOMETIMES it can... but not often.

And George Carlin was an asshole. Not even like, "it's funny, because he's a jackass to people." Just an asshole.

Don't know if I consider myself fun to be around, but most of my friends do most of the time. That is, when I'm not in "boring scientist" mode. They typically prefer my "Nutty Professor" or "Doctor Doolittle" mode.

One of my IRL friends in particular actually yells at me when I try to talk to her about things like purple carrots being the original species of carrot. She's an ESFJ. Some of my online friends get annoyed with my endless stream of "fun facts," especially if it involves history buff stuff. Every so often, I run into a fellow history buff and we hit it off.

Depends on the definition of fun, really, but I'lll say no. I'm pretty serious most of the time and tend to withdraw into my own world if the convo seems too shallow and pointless or if whoever I'm with doesn't hit the 'fun' spot.

Sure, why not.

In my mind, if I'm hanging out with you, I'm not doing anything, and am not interested in anything except amusing myself.

That's a good combination for hanging out and drinking beer or smoking weed or whatever and talking about random stuff or making random observations.

If it's some non-adult function full of churchladies, then no, I wouldn't call myself "fun." Ill be convinced I can still profit from the occasion and try to surreptitiously read or something. There will not be any pinning the fucking donkey tail or playing pictionary or whatever retard things assholes do. Maybe shooting guns or doing some kind of test of strength. But other good games like some of the card and board games I'd rather not, unless I failed to provide adequate resources for my own projects and there's nothing better to do to pass the time.

My INFP BFF tells me I'm "the life of the party" (when we're able to have parties, that is). Also, I'm sometimes able to get other introverts to open up at parties without really trying.
:proud:
All I have to do is start talking about movies, video games, and anime (since they're mostly INTPs) to get the ball rolling. It's easy for me to establish common interests with people. Sometimes I'll show them my Do0mTo0b videos just to mess with their heads.
:tongue:
