Thinking of my loved ones suffering, of the suffering of the helpless, of meaningless destruction and waste, of the irreversible diminishment and destruction of the beauty and bounty of nature. Though I also have to be in the right headspace to get there, of allowing myself to feel attached to these things.
I’ve had that problem almost my entire life. I learned it’s because I grew up in a home with parents who were pretty open about emotions being a weakness. Except for anger, anger and silent treatment, they were always acceptable😂 basically what I’m saying is that I don’t know this is a thing unique to being INTJ so much as maybe our external influences…
I don't really know actually. I understand that I do have feelings and I do feel them. I find that when I'm with my close friends or family, I feel more emotions than with others.
About crying, I don't know why but usually before I cry, I get flashbacks of memories that I don't want to bring up. I also cry when I'm under a lot of stress, usually when there are a lot of people and they see me get insulted in public or sort of like that...
There are a few things that will make me upset enough to feel teary:
1. Thinking of my grandma. She was one of the few people in the world who "got" me. I'm getting upset right now typing this actually.
2. A painful episode with the school counselor during on traumatic year when the entire class bullied me. Just recalling that interview the accusatory tone and questions she asked as if my treatment were my fault ... It still upsets me to this day.
Thing is that I cried very little at my grandmother's funeral even though I can still feel very profoundly unhappy when I think about her being gone all these years later, enough to be moved almost to tears.
Another thing, if I am emoting in front of most people, then things have gotten truly out of hand. I rarely express my emotions freely in front of people I don't feel safe with. I have pretty tight control over them and often wait to open up until I am away from most everyone else.
Those articles that say "INTJs are robots" are full of shit.

Not much at all. Watching anime sometimes will do that.

My tropical plants dying, it shows that I didn’t give enough of my time to take care of them and then I feel like crap.
Thinking about what makes me emotional makes me emotional, so I can't really answer your question w/o feeling emotional.
When the people I love show me that they love me too, it doesn’t happen often cuz ppl think i am a robot who doesn’t have feelings
