This feels awkward, like talking to myself. Meaning weird people.
I suppress the slight urge to make witty remarks, probably failing by writing this.

This post needs to be optimized for accuracy and clarity. So let's follow the script, shall we?

My name is Martin. I'm from Switzerland. I'm 35 years old.

I found out about INTP when researching the Japanese phenomenon of "Hikikomori" (i.e. people who shut themselves off). I'm nowhere as extreme as that (I do take showers and go to work!) but I can go for two months without any social contacts whatsoever, with only a mild feeling of loneliness. I only really started to pay much attention to my and other people's behavior some years back. Noting the huge differences got me looking around for others and I recently found the terms INTP/INTJ. Still learning though...

No partner. Not for a long time. Got hurt, stayed away, the usual.
No kids, but hoping to get some eventually.
No pets, but a cat would be nice I guess. Want to keep my options open...

I'm am engineer in software development (of course), though currently working more as a systems administrator.

My immediate goals: Find similarly minded people. Take over the world. And not necessarily to make it better.

Failing that (always have a backup plan!), I guess I'll read through every post made here in the past two years and try to sift through bits and pieces to improve my understanding of my own life, the universe and everything.

Well, hello everyone. Do we need to shake hands? *just waves in a general direction and sits down quickly*

Welcome Martin!
How is the land of the Swiss this time of the year? I've been to Lucerne and Zurich, beautiful country.

Take your time here, we INTPs really do take our time with everything (hello middle age/no plans for kids, trust me you're not the only one :D).

INTP is a unique type, the more you research it (yourself), the more special yet defective you'll feel.

There are many tests to strengthen your conviction of which type you are, I like 25quiz.com but there's also a test called the SLOAN/big5 which parallels with the MBTI.

You're older and more mature so I would suggest staying away from some of the juvenile INTP areas (facebook), some discussions on this site, ect... you're smart, you can figure it out.

Your English is very good written, syntax wise.

Enjoy, poke around, and take everything you read with a grain of salt.

Welcome! I was only a "Hikikomori" for a few months though.
