162. When you snap out of your thoughts and think you might be missing out on reality by not being very present, it not uncommon that you make a highly philosophical mental structure of what the present moment actually is, upon which you regard this thought as verging on mental insanity, and you then return to whatever you were thinking about.
163. Your favorite part of the day without doubt is the bus ride in the morning. Half an hour of sitting in the empty seats (I think they're supposed to be uncool or something) at the front with your ipod on and indulging in just thinking and the wonder of solitude.

175. When you see the same person a while later, you start talking about all the new thoughts you've had since that conversation, only to find that they have no idea what you're on about.
176. And when you find yourself staring at a brick arch, trying to fit the bricks into an arch in your head (or is that just me?)
177. When your loyalties are as solid as a concrete column, and your interests varied and fleeting as the cars that crash into them.
178. you not only read every post, but copy almost all of them down into a word doc to read later (which you probably wont (28 pages!!!)) after wanting to post after the 1st few pages
179. You find it extremely difficult to start and hold a "pleasant" conversation
180. you have accepted the fact that you are insane,(i have lots of other thoughts on that, but i will restrain myself lol)

182. you see people you know on the street and avoid them like the plague on the premise that they may say something to you

184. you dislike dealing in absolutes and pepper your conversations with, "generally", "usually" and "pretty sure"
185. you rarely laugh at jokes, but crack up at something you just thought of, and then wonder why everyone has just looked at you like you are crazy

188. You sometimes say a phrase, sentence, or even a brief dialogue out loud just because you want to hear what it sounds like.
189. You have an irresistible urge to flip back to the previous page in a book to double-check the exact phrasing of a sentence.
190. You don't bother charging your cell phone, because if it's actually important someone can find another way to get in touch with you-- right?.
191. You learn new concepts or facts by thinking about them until your internal model has adjusted to the point where this fact is innately obvious. As a result, you refuse to "just memorize" things, and it can sometimes take a long time to build up a complete theoretical foundation to support a new idea.
192. When emotions come into play, there is inevitably an incredibly painful battle with your rational mind. This may possibly manifest itself as an imagined conversation.
193. You frequently observe the present moment from the future, perhaps as a chapter in a book... and then you think about the fact that you're doing that, and laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. Then you make something up when someone asks why you just laughed out of the blue.
194. When you pick at people's statements and propose opposing possibilities, not to annoy them (although some seem to think so, claiming that you're trying to start an argument, ironically, as by saying that they are potentially starting one) but to check their reasoning (which often doesn't satisfy your standards), and yet you criticise yourself for being too passive and agreeable in other situations.
195. There is also looking up definitions on google functions because you wake up in the middle of the night with the terrible fear that you have been thinking wrongly about a word all this time because you never looked it up but only relied on the context you have heard it in, which we know is not accurate because they may have dangled a participle in the same sentence. Then it strikes you that the memory could be false and only implanted in your brain because if reality changed every second it would come with its own false memories and you could go your whole life not knowing. At this point you are afraid that you will eventually loose the meaning of this word, so you try desperatly for the next hour to try to defeat this unknown power changing reality by somehow putting the definition of this work in some time of accesable time warp machine. As you plan the machine it dawns on you that you are only creating it in this reality and not the other realities and you struggle with the thought until you are not certain that you ever actually lived before this second in your life at all. And if reality is going to keep changing, is it really worth it to go look up this word? Then suddenly you realize what you have been doing, and realize it's stupid, so you start laughing hysterically at three in the morning, waking up your neighbors or parents, and when they come over to tell you to shut up they ask why you were laughing and all you can say is "Oh nothing" and quickly usher them back out the door.
196. you know you're an INTP when other people care about your social life more than you do
197. you are put on the spot, you either preform brilliantly, or fail miserably

201. When it's five in the morning and you thought it was only midnight.
202. When you enter the library in the morning to pick up a book and before you know it the librarian is asking you to leave so they can close.
203. When you rarely do what your parents ask you to do for one of two reasons: they never gave you an adequate explanation for why you should do it, or you accepted that it should be done but then forgot.
204. When the experience of having someone actually know what you're trying to say in the midst of a nonsensical rant makes you want to squeal with happiness.
205. When your friends shake their heads despairingly as you explain your latest scheme.
206. When you try to start "living like a normal", but quickly return to your INTPness after failing in it SO badly.
207. When you start laughing your ass off in random situation because of some unrelated thought and explain others around you that you can't tell them cause they wouldn't understand.
208. When you are accused of arrogance after saying gentle to some F that "it isn't about what you feel or like, it's about what is true".
209. It never occurs to you to study people when there's people around to study.

217. You have imaginary people to discuss with in your head.
218. You have argued why homework is useless for you and why it should not be taken as a grade
219. When you don't know what happened in the last 15 minutes of the lecture because the professor said "if time goes to infinity then dx=0 (nothing matters)" and you zoned out thinking about what that can allude to
220. When you ask someone a question - realize while delivering question verbally that it may be perceived as marginally 'stupid' - conceive of what potential snarky, not-entirely-helpful self-aggrandizing answer(s) they may fire back - conjure up an equally (if not even more so) snarky riposte, a locutionary shot to the gut - all before they're done answering - their answer turns out not to be any of these things, faith in the innate goodness of people restored, even if only momentarily, come to ponder the long term consequences of being so 'defensive' all the time, question if this is in fact your fundamental and intractable nature, to always prepare for/assume the worst, or if it's something worth trying to change - try to be more open and 'good' at dinner table, doesn't quite go as you'd planned, wonder if your holding people to an impossible and selfish standard; wonder why you shouldn't do this, visualize your personality and tendencies as 'you' hunched over a small hole in ground out in the middle of a rain sodden field at what is probably mid-afternoon on an overcast day, with your hands firmly grasping iron handles on either side of said cavity - from which things are thrown at your face, things you can't quite - no matter how hard you try - identify or make sense of (Tide detergent boxes, brass eagle statues, dirt, etc.), and this bombardment never stops, you try to let go of the handles but fail...they're [your hands] stuck; you know if only the barrage would cease, if who or whatever is behind this what-you-can-only-assume-will-be lifelong face-pelting would give it a rest (!), and you could see down into cavity, you'd probably have much more thorough and circumspect 'understanding' of things in general but that even if this [presumed] impossibility somehow was made possible, this understanding would be tempered by the knowledge that existentially, life, and everything it entails, is meaningless - you realize this is all just a very gussied-up cliche, hate yourself for relying on a cliche in expressing what you feel may be something important, you listen to music and continue to wonder why you prefer pacifying these aching uncertainties to pursuing them further, more passionately, with twice the gusto.
221. And the funny thing is, while we dislike being illogical, we're perfectly fine with being nonsensical. Unfortunately, most people don't understand the difference.
222. When you are seen as "fascinating"
223. When you are the first person people ask when they don't understand a certain aspect of what they're studying.
224. When you can explain said principles perfectly, but fail to be understandable in a day-to-day conversation.

226. ...When a person says something that you know to be inaccurate. After listening to them speak, you get an understanding of their logic they are using and what level of understanding they have on the subject. Then you play out the conversation with them in your mind, and decide not to speak up after all when you realize the energy your will have to expend lecturing this person, and deconstructing their current inferior model is not worth the outcome.
227. ... When you actually calibrate how much attention you are going to give a person talking to you based on how interesting they are.
228. When you try to explain something and it all comes out in fragments, all at the same time too! I really wish somebody would figure out telepathy already.
