English is not my main language and I never studied it properly so probably I will make plenty of grammatical mistakes.
Hello, as the the title already says, I'm experiencing some trouble typing myself.
Important: I've already read about the types and the cognitive functions but I'm still encountering difficulties to auto type me.
I will make a list of my traits so, perhaps, it can help you guys identify characteristics of mine that correlates with some Socionics type.

First of all, I'm sociophobic. I am and always have been very introverted. I barely talked to anyone during my childhood, and until the present day social interactions worn me out. I can't be around people for a long period of time. In contrast, I would easily live my life with few human interactions, perhaps with one or two close people, and that's all. I hate parties, going out, don't like restaurants etc. The only thing I enjoy is going to the movies and theater, still, I don't do it often.
I'm very private and expect for my girlfriend, people don't know shit about myself or even my life in general. With acquaintances, most of the time I only discuss shared interests (I will talk more about it later on the text). I just don't talk about my problems and even though I think it's some sort of weakness to do so, I don't judge people who do it, in fact, sometimes I even think it's a bit endearing.

I like to think that I'm a rational person BUT I also have bipolar disorder, which leads me to some irrational actions and choices (which annoys me quite a lot). Because of it, i'm always in contact with very strong feelings and I often feel overwhelmed by them. I don't know how to control my impulses very well and I have a hard time identifying and classifying my feelings. I'm constantly having ups and downs and I have some aggressive tendencies as well.
On the other hand, I'm not very sensitive about other people's feelings. I care a lot about how my girlfriend feels and I try to be aware and supportive of her feelings and troubles, but that's it. Other people, my family included, are of little importance to me and I couldn't care less about how they feel.
I had a boyfriend before my current girlfriend (yes, I'm bisexual) and the relationship ended mostly because of my harshness and promptly to appoint problems and flaws. I always thought of it as a productive way of improving, but I'm slowly understanding that this is not always the case and some people are too sensitive to handle my "always trying to improve and perfect anything" life approach.
During my life, I was often told by my family that i'm too insensitive, too negligent of others, too harsh with my words. I have an inclination to be very bitter. I used to be nearly unbearable during my teens. I never understood why people felt so offended by what I said or why they perceived me as heartless, but I didn't care much to them so it didn't bothered me much. Going to therapy changed me a lot in that aspect and today I can communicate without hurting anyone (at least, that's how I like to see it).
Paradoxically or not, lol, some acquaintances of mine sometimes reach me out to help them with their problems. I think that happens due to the fact that I like solving problems, but I'm not quite sure as to why that happens. When this kind of situations occurs, I don't feel involved with their problems, I don't feel what they feel. That being said, sometimes I just don't know how to act or what to say, it's a bit challenging (but I like challenges, so that's ok for me).
I really do think that being bipolar have a huge influence on that. I know how is to feel like trash and kinda helpless, so most of the time*, I don't just down look at them and think "that's so stupid". If it was not for my condition, I think I just would assume people are just dumb and risible for displaying emotions. Still, I have some inclination to judge overly-sensitive people as they irritate me a bit.
* but I still do that sometimes, I just can't help it.
I don't understand at all why people feel touched when natural disasters or terrorists attacks happens. It's just a bunch of people dying, so what? People die all the time. I can't comprehend all the fuss around these situations. All that blatant commotion is just dull and fake, in my opinion. It really makes me want to puke.
Also, it's really hard for me to get emotionally involved with movies, music, plays etc. I don't recall getting teary eyed or emotional while watching/listening to something. If I cry, usually is out of anger and due to personal things related to myself only.

I live in my head. I'm always introspecting thinking about things and abstract ideas. I'm quite curious and I have a passion for knowledge. I love to read new theories, new ways of doing things. I can read and feel interested about almost anything really. I love to think how I could improve and perfect a system (of any kind). I see the world as a product in development, therefore, there's always new approaches and ways to perceive it.
I see myself as an idealist, in fact, I think this is what defines me the most. I'm often loosing all contact with reality to enter my inner world to think.
-
I'm very punctual, I can't recall even one time I was late for an appointment in my life. I plan in advance, and I can't stand chronically late people, they just piss the hell out of me.
I'm also very orderly and messiness makes me anxious and uneasy.
Everything in my life must be planned, tidy, organized.
I love to organize, catalogue, make charts etc.
Again, I suffer from bipolar disorder, which makes me go against my carefully planned nature and makes me act out of impulse more often than I would like. But that's an exception and occurs more during maniac episodes.
In my normal state, I always plan things in advance, even to a fault. Sometimes I plan and re-plan things so much it makes me delay my action.
-
I like art. I'm not an artist myself, although I loved drawing when I was a kid, but I really enjoy movies/plays, art exhibitions, operas and classical music in general. I can't play any instruments or do much of manual things, I'm not manually inclined.
I love mechanics. I'm passionated about cars and how they work etc. As I said, I'm not manually inclined but I know how to fix a car if I need to do it. I'm always reading about new cars and new ways to fuel them (electrical cars, lithium battery, hydrogen cell etc).
Tech in general is a huge passion of mine. As I love new ways to do things, technology is just perfect for me. Computers, photographic cameras and TVs are particularly interesting for me. I like to know how they work, and I like to see them getting more and more advanced over time and, again, I also think ways they could be improved. I can often foresee what the new features will be like.
Politics are also big in my life. I'm currently studying economics/business but I also have interests in the fields of law, international law, sociology, philosophy, history etc. The world is just a big system so I see politics (and all the others fields I listed) as a way to operate this machine.
Math is not a passion, but a tool I just use a lot. I'm too often cataloging things and seeing how often they occur, what's the chance, the percentage etc. Many times I find myself making charts and graphics. Probabilities and statistics are massive in my life. I would say I need them to function and to make sense of things.
Language is also something I'm passionated about. As of now, I can speak Portuguese (mother tongue), Spanish, Italian, French, Arabic, Hebrew and Russian. I can listen and read in English without any problem, but I don't think my writing and speaking skills are that great, so I'm not going to count it. Also, I can understand a bit of Finnish and Dutch.
Other interests of mine include:
Astronomy/astrophysics, sports (huge sports fan), psychology (and psychiatry) filmmaking, anime, comics, videogames, meteorology, veganism, feminism, zoology, geography/geopolitics, ...
-
A few words that describes me:
Sarcastic, ironic, anti-authority, iconoclast, arrogant, stubborn, low self-esteem, scrutinous, idealistic, anxious, punctual, debate loving, theoretical, dark humor, bossy, sensitive, emotional unstable, witty, curious, passionated, knowledgeable, angry.

Thanks for all those who took the time to read this and are eager to help typing myself more accurately.
