28 F ISTP

I just found out that I am an ISTP. I am a straight female, 28 yrs old. And would like to hear from other female ISTPs. What are you like? Where are you? Be my friend! Lol. Jk but all my life I've had a hard time connecting with other females. I've always been the tom boy who hangs out with the guys and has a hard time finding girl friends that have common interests or dont completely drain me, or expect too much from me emotionally/commitment wise. I work at a bike shop, which I LOVE, because every day I get new challenges like bikes to take apart and fix. Dont like the sales side as much, but I'm really good at faking that. In my free time i like hiking, mountain climbing, cycling, and am a very good artist. But my art is also very precise, technical, and detailed mostly leaning toward photorealism. Not so great at putting meaning or emotion behind it or coming up with things out of my head. Im also obsessed with puzzle games like crosswords, sudoku, escape games, stuff like that. I am extremely introverted and kind of a hermit. Ok I'm totally a hermit. I hardly ever feel the need for socialization, in fact it gives me some anxiety. I do have a long term boyfriend, though who I've been with for 5 years. He has at times told me I'm cold, not nurturing enough, dont give enough attention or affirmation. And I find myself wishing he would man up or stop being so emotional/sensitive/needy a lot of the time. Though I usually try to bite my tongue. I like my quiet time. I'm not very emotional. I dont get super mad or super excited really. I'm very laid back and go with the flow and live in the present. I dont like making plans. I have a very logical mind and dont let my emotions get in the way usually. I'm pretty vulgar for a girl, and would probably offend a lot of people if I never learned to filter myself depending on who I'm around. I have never really met another girl like me. And often times I feel more masculine than the guys I'm around. But I'm a pretty girl who wears make up and paints my nails and styles my hair every morning too. So this has gotten really long. Other ISTPs, tell me about you? Are you like me? I would like to discuss. Thanks.
