I'm an INTP, I honestly don't feel, or act on any emotions, on a very regular basis. "INTP"? Stoicism is not having strong emotions and being neutral so basically you do think with an emotion but this emotion is a very unspecific memory marker (except with thoughts that are specifically stoic) giving the person who is experiencing the emotion a wider range of memories to reference on. A Jungian personality type. INTP - Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving (Introverted Thinking with Extraverted Intuition)
"The INTP has no understanding or value for decisions made on the basis of personal subjectivity or feelings. They strive constantly to achieve logical conclusions to problems, and don't understand the importance or relevance of applying subjective emotional considerations to decisions."So stoicism?No, because there is no emotion, I feel nothing. My brain is clockwork. It moves forward and is motivated purely because it is active. Objects move due to natural forces, the rain doesn't fall because it feels, no matter how slightly, that it would be good to fall. It falls because it must. I think because I must. Because thinking is unavoidable.
I feel emotions and I do enjoy them, but it's secondary to thinking. I can take an intellectual satisfaction if I choose to, or indulge in an emotion if I feel it's logically justified. Dude that is stoicism! Stoicism is just feeling nothing, no happiness, sadness, nor anything other than that!
