Here's a thought and puzzle for you INTP's...
Small talk is dreadful. Being around a crush or person of interest leaves quite a few of us anxious, nervous, sky, or whatever.
So what can one do while mute / speechless to welcome the person into our world / our minds / our desires?
Musical instruments, cooking, baking, painting are the immediate things that comes to my mind. Where at a loss for words, actions speak louder.
Then there's juggling, spinning discs, activities that requires absolute concentration... but in a spur of the moment scenario, no one is going to wait for said INTP to 'set everything up' before getting to said trick / talent.
Quite often I wonder how deaf and mute people deal with the world. They have their own hand language and their own little community. They fear pairing up with 'normal' people who can do all these things they can't but yet, they still cope with living. Which makes INTP's not so different from them.
Not to say INTP's are handicapped nor deaf/mute people are at a disadvantage, but where words fail, something like a hobby that one is passionate about can be used to welcome the right one in.
Thoughts?
