I am generally an introvert but

INFJ here.

The best conversations I’ve ever had were with an INTJ man , he was the first person who made me feel mentally alive, seen, and genuinely excited to look forward to our next talk. I’ve never met anyone else who could match that connection.

I don’t really have friends, and I’ve been through a lot of hardship. For years I coped by working hard and keeping myself constantly productive, but after falling ill a while ago I haven’t been able to live the same way. With less work, I also have less human interaction and the loneliness has become heavier.

It’s the kind of loneliness you feel even when you’re surrounded by people, like having lunch at work but still feeling unseen or out of place.

I’m not sure where to meet people who think the same way or where I can feel less like an alien. If any INTJs want to chat, I’d genuinely appreciate it.
