Inferiority
Wowie, there seems to be a lot of issues with feeling superior to others coming up in this community lately.
So, are there any other INTJs out there who have issues with underconfidence or feeling inferior? If so, why do you think you're like that, instead of being more "arrogant"?
I have some fairly major self-esteem issues. I've been in therapy most of my adolescence for it (so much for that; I'm still self-loathing). I'm decently fit, people tell me I'm attractive (which makes me want to hide for a few weeks), and I actually have (some) social skills-- doesn't matter, though. I feel like the only thing I have going for me is my intelligence, and even that becomes a problem, whatwith learning disabilities; perhaps the root of my whole issue to start with. What is a rational if they feel like they can't rely on their intelligence, after all? Makes me wonder if other INTJs would be like me if their reasoning ever repeatedly failed.
