MBTI Personalities: Who Is the Most Socially Anxious?
While introverted personalities generally prefer solitude over socializing, not all introverted types are truly afraid of social interaction. Some just don't enjoy it. For example, INTJ personalities can handle social situations well if there is a need for it. INFJ can also manage social interactions to some extent, although they still prefer being alone at heart.
Today, we will focus on those who are truly socially anxious. These are the types who not only seem to struggle with interpersonal relationships on the surface but also actually have difficulty handling them.
NO.3 ISTP ISTPs seldom care about people and things around them that are not related to them. They only focus on themselves and their immediate tasks. Their high Ti gives them excellent concentration and allows them not to be distracted by external factors. They also don't like to share information with others and are always independent. In fact, a personality with Ti as the primary function is destined to have this sense of loneliness from rejecting social interaction. Ti means in-depth research and independent thinking, which are activities that need to be done alone. Ti users in life always subconsciously isolate themselves from others and enter a self-thinking mode. The social anxiety of ISTPs stems from their suspicion and distrust of the outside world. ISTPs always try to test those who want to approach them because deep down they don't think anyone can understand such an odd person as themselves. Moreover, ISTPs consider themselves as misfits and thus are too lazy to explain. Social interaction is completely a waste of life.
NO.2 INFP INFPs are known as deeply socially anxious in the 16 personality types. 'Introverted' and 'not good at talking' are their basic labels. Due to their inferiority complex, they always don't know how to get along with others in social situations. The things they particularly like always seem out of place and they can't reach a consensus with others. Over time, INFPs have learned to get along with themselves and immerse themselves in their hobbies without communicating with others. INFPs are very restrained in social situations. Not to mention taking the initiative to speak, they are even very reluctant to answer questions from strangers passively. They envy those who are adept at interpersonal communication because they can never achieve it no matter what. ISFPs, who also use Fi as the primary function, are much better than INFPs. After all, the second function of ISFP is Se, which makes ISFP better at expressing than INFP. The combination of Fi+Ne of INFP注定了 their hobbies and rich associations are harder to be understood by the public, making them even more lonely.
NO.1 INTP INTPs being 'afraid of people' is well-known. Mainly, the combination of Ti+Ne is truly hard for ordinary people to understand. With profound logic and unrestrained thinking, INTPs need an entry point to integrate into society. Therefore, INTPs have given up social interaction and fantasize about researching things they like on their own little planet, which is their happiest thing. INTPs always feel like they are on the periphery of the world, like a warm bystander. Although they can't integrate, they can still observe. They are very interested in new things around them. Since they can't integrate into society, then just observe quietly.
