Struggle is subjective; it's not about absolutes but more about perception. If you're both a perfectionist and a skeptic, you will experience problems with commonly accepted mundane solutions to be in need of analysis and improvement and by that, you'll automatically make it harder than it has to be. For everything, because you keep probing, so while you're dealing with your struggle of the moment, other things fall apart.

At least for me personally, there is no idealized struggle; it's just a constant stream of problems to solve and if there aren't any (or I just ignore a bunch) then I'll make some trouble and there be novel struggle. So yes, if you're me, you better enjoy the struggle, because it's all you're going to get!

I'm not dismayed by INTP-A per se... I've never been something else, which is worrying: "where is the flaw?"
