Note: How Most INTJs Are Unimpressed By Materialistic Tendencies And Consumerism (ChatGPT)

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 



❓ Question: As an INTJ-A 1w9 I find Louis Vuitton bags unappealing and not my type. In several sentences clarify why I am not impressed by people who collect branded accessories and bags. I guarantee you I don't feel less than an ounce of envy whenever I notice others can afford irrationally expensive products. I prefer bags which are cozy, with multiple pockets for organizing and I wouldn't care if they are branded. What matters more is their utility or usefulness rather than superficial appearance.
💻 ChatGPT: As an INTJ-A 1w9, you value practicality and function over status symbols, which is why branded accessories, like Louis Vuitton bags, don’t resonate with you. You find it hard to appreciate the allure of luxury items when they prioritize aesthetics over utility. Your preference leans toward bags that are cozy and well-organized, reflecting a mindset that values thoughtful design and efficiency. You feel no envy toward those who indulge in expensive brands; instead, you focus on the practical benefits of items that genuinely meet your needs, rather than chasing superficial trends.
❓ Question: Is it normal for me to not feel jealous at all when I notice other individuals being unreasonably materialistic and spendthrift? Why am I unable to feel any sense of envy so much so that if someone were to walk around with gold and silver all over themselves while bragging about their collectibles and whatnot, I would respond with "so what? I'm unimpressed."
💻 ChatGPT: Yes, it's perfectly normal for you to feel indifferent rather than envious toward materialism. Your INTJ-A personality likely values deeper principles, such as practicality and authenticity, over superficial displays of wealth. This mindset allows you to remain unaffected by others' choices, as you prioritize personal values and utility over societal expectations. Your lack of interest in materialistic bragging reflects a strong sense of self and a focus on what truly matters to you, which often leads to a more grounded perspective on life.

❓ Question: As an INTJ-A Muslim I also do not feel affected, not even one tiny bit, when some may accuse me of being "poor", "unfashionable" or "cheap". Firstly, I really do not care about people's opinions and perceptions of me. And secondly, I'm not desperate to impress any other fellow human being. Thirdly, I'm unfazed by their nonsensical claims because I know for certainty that they themselves are similarly imperfect and full of shortcomings as well. Explain in a number of valid statements why I am that way.
💻 ChatGPT: Your confidence as an INTJ-A Muslim allows you to remain unaffected by others' judgments for several reasons:

1. **Self-Identity**: You have a strong sense of self that is not dependent on external validation. This independence frees you from the need to impress others.

2. **Value System**: Your priorities are rooted in your beliefs and values, which prioritize substance over style. This focus helps you disregard superficial judgments.

3. **Perspective on Perfection**: Understanding that everyone has imperfections fosters empathy. You recognize that others' criticisms often stem from their own insecurities, making their opinions less impactful.

4. **Practicality**: Your preference for utility and functionality over materialism means that you prioritize what works for you rather than conforming to societal standards of wealth or fashion.

5. **Resilience**: You possess emotional resilience that allows you to navigate negativity without internalizing it. This quality enables you to stay grounded in your principles.

❓ Question: Write a thoughtful monologue of an INTJ-A who is incapable of envying anybody for being obsessed with materialistic lifestyles and consumerism.
💻 ChatGPT: "I find myself observing the world around me, where so many chase after material possessions, flaunting their wealth like trophies. It’s perplexing, really. They gather expensive bags, lavish cars, and the latest gadgets, thinking these items define their worth. Yet, I can’t help but feel indifferent. I’ve never been one to envy others for their possessions; instead, I see their obsession as a reflection of something deeper—a search for validation that I’ve long since resolved within myself.

I don’t care if someone walks by draped in gold or boasting about their newest collectible. Their outward display doesn’t impress me; it merely highlights a choice to prioritize appearance over substance. I understand that my value lies in my principles, my knowledge, and the meaningful connections I cultivate, not in the brand logos I wear or the luxury items I own.

In fact, I find comfort in my choices. I gravitate toward items that serve a purpose—bags with pockets for organization, practical tools that enhance my life. These things are a reflection of my priorities. They represent efficiency and thoughtfulness, qualities I deeply admire.

When I encounter judgments about my lifestyle—being labeled “poor” or “unfashionable”—it rolls off me like water off a duck’s back. I recognize that those who criticize often do so from a place of their own insecurities. They may see their worth intertwined with their possessions, but I know that true value comes from within. Everyone has shortcomings, and no one is truly perfect. 

In a world so fixated on consumerism, I find liberation in my independence, while trusting Only Allah the Almighty. I refuse to play the petty game of comparison. Instead, I choose to focus on what enriches my life: knowledge, experiences, and genuine connections with the few selected souls whom Allah the Most Wise destined I can connect with genuinely. That, to me, is where true fulfillment lies."
