For ISTP's like myself and INTP's (Myers - Briggs), social competence is not built into the personality type. It takes quite a bit of effort, exhausting effort, to be socially proficient, as the extroverted feeling cognitive function, is an inferior cognitive function. While CBT style practices do help to alleviate a lot of the anxiety, they don't fix the underlying cause, which is a cognitive function that undervalues social interactions at best and is antagonistic at worst.
Soo helpful 🙂
How do I tell if I have a social phobia or if I just don’t like people?
I have an emotional energetic boundary :(
