-For TLDR'rs, fucking skip to bolded.-
First off, I have two questions. The one my title expresses, and also: Is an ENTP interchangeable with INTP? I posit that if the dominate Ti of INTP were swapped out for a dominate Ne, the user would be more open to blurt out ideas, half-conceived, for discussion, as opposed to thinking first.
As for isolation... I don't mean temporary isolation such as a weekend at a cabin or a month in a remote cave in the mountains of Caliijarrrmarruuuu. I am referring to years of isolation with the innate desire for human interaction, rarely leaving the house.
I am one of these, as I have little opportunity (and I mean as little as you can get) for varied human interaction (family, that is about it). Mostly I am confined to my home, helping out the family, etc. I don't like it for sure, and often complain about it.
Personally, I cope by means of online gaming to fill the void for human interaction. This does not do it though, as most folks online seem introverted or not interested in talking (perhaps after a long day at work). I prefer being spontaneous and obnoxious, but no one seems interested in being silly, which sort of miffs me. If I go too long without, I think I get anxious and frustrated.
I have been a shy individual since I can remember, being uncomfortable until I warm up to the situation. I don't believe that social anxiety is the determining factor for introversion. I talk to myself a lot, verbalizing my ideas and thoughts, but ultimately feel empty without folks to be around. Despite all this, I still wonder if I could be introverted.
So are there any isolated ENTP's out there without a viable social outlet? How do you cope? How do you feel when you don't get that fix? Is E interchangeable with I? Anything I can do about this besides the obvious 'get a life'?
Thoughts?
