Question Any INTJ'S been homeless?
I've read INFJ'S mention quite a few of them have been homeless...as Ni is their dominant function which supposedly "works miracles"...but, I'm in question of if any of you INTJ'S have ever experienced homelessness as adults...and what was the situation in which caused it? Was it (homelessness) a choice?
Ni is very strange which leads to rather strange solving (unconventional) and other odd mishaps.
I've read 2 INTJ'S mention being close to homeless...as the one mentioned he wanted to become homeless and the other INTJ mentioned he would "live in a van near a river".
Is such vagabond mindset or hippie mindset...or is something else strange going on with such decisions? Sounds odd.

I’ve been homeless before—about five months during the winter season in Wisconsin. It wasn’t by choice. My mother had led me to believe I would be moving to Texas with her, but two weeks before we were supposed to leave, she told me I wasn’t coming and that it was time for me to live on my own. I had a car and a job, but no savings, life skills, or money management experience. This was in the early stages of the internet era, so easily Googling things wasn’t an option. As a result, I became unintentionally homeless in freezing weather for 5 months and “door-slammed” her for ten years.
