Oof, brutally on point with the INFP stress coping. Every time I'm stressed its clean the house, organize my environment... On the plus side its quite productive.
That’s tough. My 11 year old is an INTP and his hurt anger has long surprised me as an INTJ who barely lost my temper until my 20s. Mostly I work on helping him be more appropriately assertive because-unless it’s late and he needs to sleep-he usually has a point but is normally too tolerant of boundary pushers until he snaps.
@@CheriFields Grace you for working on it with your son in a healthy way! My parents failed a little at the early anger intervention, which didnt help with my heightened respones now.
You nailed it Nathan, as INTJ I always either eat, gamble or both. And taking more risks too, especially with money. All manifests in the sensory world as if that wasn’t my normal state of being. Which probably isn’t. And sooner I get back to my head the better I’ll feel.
INFJ here, and I agree that he nailed it. When stressed, I can binge on pizza, CZcams, and studying my books. Also, I can randomly drag race if the other driver seems up to it. I'm working to limit my excesses, though.
@@Moodboard39 It does 😂 But I feel satisfied post sex, not only due to the received pleasure, but because the adrenalin kick. It feels like my body is telling me that I’ve done something important and productive
Spot on for INTJ. In the grip of stress (especially when combined with an existential crisis) I'm much more likely to succumb to shameful vices or addictions, or drive recklessly, as if I've become a naughty ESTP.
Oh my goodness the driving thing, yes. When I'm stressed I just want to drive fast. (Normally I'm happy to drive relaxed and let people by me so I don't feel rushed.) It takes _a lot_ to not pass people dangerously when I'm in that mood...
My INFP husband, my INTP daughter and me (INTJ) are exactly as described. It’s kind of creepy when someone can describe what you are like when you don’t feel like yourself.
true when i am under stress with full concentration, all my senses heighten and suddenly i can hear every single miniscule detail and see far away also, thanks for the update - an ENFP
INFJ here. Ni/Se imbalance is quite annoying. I am goal oriented and stoic most of the time, on grindset if you will. Fully devoted to my art career without any distractions like sugar, alcohol and video games. But a productive month is usually followed by a week of apathy and guilty pleasures.
as an INTJ, HOLY SHIT YOU NAILED IT PERFECTLY. I ALWAYS find myself becoming overly indulgent when im stressed out, whether that be food or video games, and usually this ends up just creating more stress in the long run
But I'm INTJ too and the only side effects of being under extreme stress that I have is overthinking? I am actually usually quite calm in very stressful situations. Is it only me or are there any others INTJs who work well under stress?
@@user-qh1jt3cj1g Well you have become a very healthy INTJ. You are close to mastering that aspect of our personality type so good for you. Do share some tips on how you attained that.
@@thecod2345 my Ti brethren. i cant bring myself to do it all the time cuz its mentally exhausting but when im fed up thoughts i had brewing just start coming out in the most brutal of ways
I’m an INTP and under stress I turn into a nightmare. And there’s levels depending on how bad or prolonged the stress is. I really hate myself in this state until I’ve been entirely too stressed and then I reach a mega-I-don’t-give-a-funny about anybody… happily proceeds to implode, explode, burn down the world around me! It’s terrible lol Luckily, also rare 🙃 Also, it affects me physically to be in any negative state of mind. From stress to anger to sadness. At minimum I will assuredly experience a mad headache and feel completely out of it. It can take a while to find my center again 😣 But with experience I’ve become better at putting the brakes on, better handling, detecting situations or ppl I should get away from, as well as pulling up my manuals, scripts, directions, motivational posters I need to hang up on my mind walls to ride out the shitty if I have to 🤓
ENFP here! Oh my god!!!! everytime im under stresss i start having thousandsss of problems. chest pain, cold, UTI, diarrohoeeaaa, low bp, high bp, i looseee 7-8 kgs in less than a week, i stop eating, i become a skeleton, i only drink water, i start having anxiety and my eye hurts, my lungs hurt................. but... when i go for checkup, after i get my medical reports, the doctors are like "theres nothing wrong with you" and it makes me so maddd. its always a mess!! also yessss perfectionist!!! i feeel like i start having ocd. its as if i try way toooo hard to not mess anything up and try to keep EVERYTHING in check. even tho i work amazing under stresss but when im dealing with it alone and not when someone else is putting stress on me. if its my own problem i feel like i can always have my way through it, but if theres other people annoying me and putting expectations on me and forcing me and telling me to do this do that, idk thats when i crash and i get depressed. And if im dealing w stress aloneee i can always figure my way outt yayayyaayyayyay! i hate when human beings annoy me when im stressed. like LEAVE ME ALONE. its my problem notttt yoursssss. yeeeeeeeeettt
My ENFP daughter is prone to anxiety, particularly when it comes to school. When she's stressed about homework, she makes it worse be being unreasonably hard on herself, and expecting perfection when it isn't needed. This can spiral into full on panic attacks (which, thankfully, we are getting better at managing.)
@@oliviarose3513 she’ll still have to work through this but it could be easier. My daughter did the same thing (minus full panic attacks) about once a month with me as her teacher until her senior year (she was still tempted but managed to handle herself without visible drama except a few times)
Infj here. Definitely went to my psychiatrist a few months ago to address possible binge eating disorder. I also tend to over exercise sometimes or over indulge in art when I’m stressed. So you’re spot on. Learning balance.
I have a lot of anxiety and often take things personally, despite being an INTP and therefore, supposedly, laid back. It proves to me how often in the Fe grip I have been.
dude as an INTJ I just eat more and become really impulsive in everything. I feel empty so I fill it up by shopping a lot impulsively etc, it's pretty bad. Wish it could be productive instead!
Really resonate with the INFJ description, whenever I get super stressed I feel the need to Do Something. Whether that something is standing in a field and screaming at the sky until people from nearby buildings come out to check on me, putting cheese in the microwave and eating it, or getting blackout drunk and crying on two middle aged goths in a taxi, I never know what it's going to be until I'm doing it.
As an INFP, I think when there's some external pressure to do well, or when things *aren't* going well, I feel a need to take control, to overcompensate and make things work. During those times, I value speed, efficiency, and effectiveness. In the short run, it can be extremely productive; in the long run, this may result in being overwhelmed and burnout... Watching this while slightly stressed 🥲 About to jump into a stressful situation probably leading to more stress (if it goes well), yay!
INFP Lol 1001% My House garden attic basement and garage will all be cleaned. detailed and 'perfect' And Hoarded clutter that hasn't been 'repurposed' will be discarded. Clothes that I admit ill never wear given away. etc If this isn't enough , then a detailing these things for a friend will do as well
Intj. I often neglect myself and forget about self care, at the times of stress. I’m unapproachable, impulsive, angry and very judgmentsl at those times.
Same. Intj female here and I tend to either spend hours daydreaming in my head, watch videos, sleep or strenuously work out when I am stressed but the working out isn't about self care part. I become very neglectful about self care but the repetitive motion is what soothes me.
@@Raven_Black_252 yes. It’s like an itch that needs scratching. Or a way of escaping from ourselves. I forgot to mention substance abuse. Chainsmoking, drinking lots of tea, eating a lot and going for a run, Or walk.
@@pinkbanana1276 I feel like one of the few INTJs who hasn't succumbed to smoking! Have you, or Raven Black, ever tried drumming? Especially when it comes to the double-kick heavy metal kind, it's a complete detachment from the outside world and is highly intense. It will have you constantly chasing perfection and limits, similar in a way to rock climbing.
@@johnknight9150 i can literally feel what state of mind you are talking about. Unfortunately, I don’t like it, but of course there are lots of replacements.
@@pinkbanana1276 What replacements did you have in mind? The specific appeal of drumming (particularly advanced drumming) is the four-way independence, which can be extended further into interdependence with polymetric and/or polyrhythmic drumming, where one part of your body can be playing in one time signature while the rest of you plays in another time signature. It's like a combination of Zen and violence.
As infp, when covid restrictions relaxed I knew I needed to go out and be social in person again, but I was really stressed about it. So in two weeks I deep cleaned the house, threw three parties and went to two others. Then for the next two weeks I never left the house and even my phone was dead.
ISFP - In the most stressful time of my life, I went into a sudden onset of purging my entire life and did a mass clean up. I wouldn’t call it a bad thing though. That wave of Te fixed a lot of built up trash I didn’t need in my life, both in the physical world and the social. I went from being a clutter bug to a minimalist overnight.
My ISFP son also did exactly this and it scared the hell outta me! I was worried he was having some kind of breakdown or something! Nope. He was fine. It was sure odd and unsettling to witness, though.
@@janeofthejungle4 lol yeah, well I’d say it was still a breakdown, so it could’ve been for him as well, but not all breakdowns are bad. Getting rid of the “normal” for rapid change is exactly what people need sometimes.
As an ENFP, I go through constant cycles of this kind of cleaning/cleansing. My mom would have flipped out too if I'd done it during my teenage years 😄
@@janeofthejungle4 Coming from an INFP, trust me, it's a breakdown. your kid would most probably be very irritated, very cranky when he was doing all of that, almost hating every minute of it & would bite anyone who dares to come near, when he's doing all of that. but, it has to happen though. our types are very good at having shit build up after all.
Falcon Windblade - yes, he was exactly, everything that you just described there, and I just stayed wayyy out of his way! Lots of banging and smashing. Like you said, after he was all done it was like he’d been reborn or something! Even happily showing his room off to everyone else in the house. It happened when his childhood was ending. He got rid of a lot of his precious childhood figurines and such.
im ISFP, and even without stress, i love being responsible and when im in a team i usually take th leader role, but i prefer so much doing work alone and sometimes im so critical. i was thinking for so long in a possible mistype, but then i learn we are all differents, in my case, im so flexible with how act and how think in differents situations for my personal values. so if others dont get the things done, i focus on myself and i do everything for being a example and not what will affect me. this is so accurate, thank u.💜
Always feel like you are spot on for ESFJ. Helps me get better clarity on myself and how I relate to the world more articulately. Thanks for that! 🙂 ~Saiyren
The INxJ one reminds me of an INFJ teacher I had once who was very principled and led an ascetic lifestyle but allowed himself one indulgence - smoking - and indulged in it hard. He died of lung cancer a couple of years after I took his class. :/ Also, as an INFP, I will say that sometimes stress and pressure, as much as I hate it, is exactly the impetus I need to actually get stuff done! The number of times I've cleaned and organized my home in a mad rush after procrastinating for weeks because people were coming over...
I’m INFJ and I don’t regret my past. Everything that happened back then led to where I’m at now and I’m sooo thankful for where I’m at and who I have in my life. Since all of it/them came as a direct result of my past playing out exactly as it did, I cannot regret any of it. Not even the not so great parts. They all happened for specific reasons. Some reasons I understand some I don’t yet understand but one day I will, and some I’ll never understand.
@@janeofthejungle4 this mindset right here, is what everyone needs. I've adopted it recently but it's hard to believe it sometimes (even though I know it's 100%). Everything in this life was not just a mere coincidence and I'm grateful for everything..... But I guess it's because of my depression that I stay in that loop the reply above u talked about. Currently working on my mental health since it has impacts on everything else in my life.
Nailed it for this ENTJ currently under major stress for the last few months! I’ve been evaluating my life, what I want, and making a career change since then. Still no decision made… which stresses me out more… and the cycle repeats
INFJ -very true. Realizing reality is stranger than slipping out of it to me. I kind of binge on art so much I come to despise it- but still love it 😑 too much to abandon it.
@@oddefy It's like when people binge on Netflix for the storyline and characters. When I do it with art, it's due to it's history, it's meaning, how it changed the world, how it told the ugly and beautiful truths of it and us as people, how it gives color and shape and form using illusions of lines and gradients etc. You see, when I was younger I started wanting to binge eat, but I asked myself how that was helpful long term. And because it was ultimately self defeating, I chose something healthier to binge on-art. A different kind of food, I suppose, 😂. I have a terribly difficult time really seeing the physical world; art grounds me into seeing it.
Great video! As an ENFJ, I can end up saying unintentionally hurtful things with my Ti and it is often directed at myself. You can also use your third function wrong so like your INXJ section, I am prone to overindulging in the sensory with my Se.
Painfully accurate for INFP. I’ve been trying to get my life together for years. My desk is covered in failed schedules, and I’ve become increasingly demanding and impatient with those close to me.
I don't function at all under stress. I have a instant fight or flight response and need hours to calm down. On the upside i can be very calm when other people are panicking... No idea why though 😅 - infp
How true. (Intj here) For the less harmful ones, netflix, CZcams books. Love them to escape my reality. For the less happy stuff... I am always stressed, and thus for years i was a big emotional eater. I (kinda) solved this with intermittent fasting (2 meals each day 16:8). For exercise i tried yoga successfully for two years (yes i was that unfit and obese that yoga was challenging), and 5k jogs and now i am happily into challenge of body weight challenges in CZcams -to die- to become master of my fitness journey... Also philosophy! God! Philosophy podcasts helped me a ton in order not to be bored. I recommend this one: Philosophise This! It's great. Yours truly, A 23yo college student (2nd degree) INTJ
ENTP with health anxiety. When I am stressed my health anxiety gets worse, this is why a few years back I started obsessing over exercise. But right now I am overwhelmed with work and I try to cram too much into my schedule so my anxiety is through the roof. I am currently looking to change my work and life a bit so thr uncertainty is making me feel even more internally agitated, at least I still exercise so it relieves my stress somewhat. Having hypochondria is the worst, for me it comes and goes in cycles. It is the worst in spring time. I can't even sit down anymore and listen to people speak anymore, my mind is constantly wandering. *rant over*
Damn this is too personal. I felt like I was dying yesterday from a tooth infection. The dentist said it's not too bad but I feel my blood pumping through it and throat shrinking so this is not fun
Spot on as usual for the INTJ, as I was often indulging my senses to deal with stress when I was in a very abusive relationship. Drinking, thrill seeking, anything sensory I could enjoy in excess and was extreme. Anything to FEEL out of my mind. Doing much better these days now that my PTSD is being treated and I'm states away from my lived nightmare
As an INFP, I’ve created very elaborate organizational systems for myself and then totally rebel against the whole thing. Over the years, I’ve gotten better at trying to “stress-manage” smaller projects. That helps me come around to my usual chill self a little sooner. I hate getting hypercritical of others though. It makes me feel like such a fraud or failure or something. My husband is an ESTJ and I’m always amused to see him become more like me when he’s stressed. He just doesn’t know how to do it very well. 😆 When I’m stressed and trying to clean the whole house and get hung up on making one drawer or closet “perfect” before I can move on to the next item, he helps me get through it and reminds me that it doesn’t have to be perfect right now because I can always come back to it later.
I so relate to the stress driven act of making one space perfect before being able to move on to anything else. If I run into an issue during the perfection cleaning of an area, it will stop me dead in my tracks. I will ponder and fret over solutions to said issue whilst solving /completing absolutely nothing, often through a veil of angsty frustrated blubbering...
I’m cleaning my house today. The appraiser is coming tomorrow. I don’t like it. But the house is looking quite nice and ultra clean and orderly, now. Yay. You were correct on my stress thing. INFJ. Right now I’m not stressed I’m just super bored and super annoyed because cleaning is boring af and now my dumb allergies are acting up and I can’t stop sneezing. I hope everyone else is having a happier day than me. I should put on some feel good music. On the bright side, my house wasn’t really messy to begin with so luckily I can go at my preferred pace.. slowly, gently and steadily. Thanks for another great video.
this is actually really accurate. i’m an infp and i’ve noticed recently that i haven’t been doing hobbies or things that i like as much as i usually would. the book i started before the week of my school finals is still abandoned and i haven’t finished reading it, my screen time is down quite a bit, and i haven’t been spending as much time on youtube (this channel is an exception, and rightfully so). i didn’t realize that i was “throwing out useless stuff” until i watched this video. i also do kind of reorganize my desk and clean my room when i’m stressed, but that may also be my way of procrastinating and convincing myself that i’m doing something “productive”.
Spot on for me as an ESTJ and my husband an INTJ. Yup the emotional bottle up and dump is very true for me and the over evaluation. My husband's gaming increases and he will binge watch a show. I work for an INFP and he does the purging organization and last week we did just that. So this was helpful 😊
Damn i daw esfp and estp and the first thing i thought was "paranoia" turns out i'm actually learning and not just forgetting things when i click off the videos
As an istj this is accurate. Taking different projects in a panic mode as a way to cope with inconsistency. Fear of the future and the worst scenarios that may or may not be realistic.
I have to point out that the ENFP is truly on point. I have 3 ENFPs in my life (my sister, my aunt and grandma). All of them constantly under stress. A nightmare to handle when they're unhealthy. Out of my entire family, these 3 have given me the most unpleasant moments of my entire life. They're not bad people, but they sure know how to hurt.
I had a stressful situation with my dog's health and I was an emotional wreck. I absolutely hated it. I normally would just check out of my emotions and solve the problem at hand, but I couldn't do anything to improve the situation and my dog wouldn't understand nor deserve my detachment. Thankfully everything turned out fine, but having to deal with my own relatively unfamiliar emotions was so overwhelming. -ISTP
INTJ going through a divorce. I'm unable to focus on my work which used to bring me so much joy, I work out 3 times a day, drinking way more than I'd ever do normally, started smoking and straight up proposed casual sex to a friend. I don't even know who I am anymore. I hope this stops soon.
Why would you do that? It has nothing to do with the personality type? Even in adversity I'd never resort to alcoholism, smoking, gambling etc. It's a waste of money and it doesn't help you solve your problems. I'm INTJ as well, and I don't understand your pain or what you're going through, but I know how much it hurts losing a loved one. Giving in to bad habits will only have long term consequences for you both financially and physically, the best solution is to calm down and think rationally again, only then will you find what works best for you
Why divorce then? Stay married and work it out. I Will pray for you..Go to Jesus not mbti videos, drugs/alcohol, sex etc which is sin..it Will not solve anything
I deal with stress by watching your videos No, actually. I (an INTP) procrastinate until I either become so stressed that I finally do something useful, or the deadline passes and I can't do anything about it anymore.
I'm an INFP, and you explaining unhealthily Te has confirmed it in my mind. This past year has been a really, really, REALLY stressful one for me, and that unhealthy Te came out so much 😟😔 I lost one of my good friends, got into a new job, and got a new roommate who is messier than me. Whenever she was home I would go into lecture mode. Not good, not good at all.
Yeah I've been snacking a lot and acting more self-destructively lately. I'm depressed and have kind of given up on trying when it comes to school and other official things. This society just isn't made with people with mental illnesses, disabilities, etc or anyone with a personality type other than the SJs in mind.. I sure hope it'll change somehow but the "I'll help save the world myself!" mindset has vanished from my mind. I did walk three laps around my house and run up and down a steep hill twice today, though. So that's healthy of me.
As an Intj i would need to be stressed all the for days or even weeks to develope such a bad behavior. Usually when I'm stressed I take one or more deep breaths, try to think about to handle the situation and adapt my plans if need be. I think this kind of behavior, to step back for a moment and think rational should be a general strategy to deal with stress.
This comment will come back to haunt you, my INTJ brother! ;-) When life starts to crank up and become much harder and more complex, the infantile behaviours you've been looking down upon will start to rise up like a werewolf instinct inside a man before midnight. It's good that you have self-control, but as the saying goes, the bigger they are, the harder they fall.
@@johnknight9150 You are right. It did so many times before I even wrote it. But it also proves it correct, because this attitude helps me to reorganize and move on. For me this is life, Failure, Adaption and success in a cycle until death.
@@benediktwalch1605 Well I agree with the last part. You will need to fail and adapt a few more times until you have something more nuanced. Alas, such a thing usually comes with age - no shortcuts. :-/
As an INTJ, I shut down mentally and emotionally and just sleep or slow down a lot. I also give into vices. I extrovert very little, so basically turn down SE world to a minimum.
The line between doing research and getting lost in time and space is quite blurred to me. Suddenly, a phrase such as: let me do a quick reading on ______ (whatever topic it is) finds me well into the night (or break of dawn). Even if I am not stressed, controlling Se is hard. I usually overdo things in terms of reading, watching, solving problems,… The Se factor is not triggered in a way that resembles a Se dominant person. It still serves Ni. Only in an unhealthy way. It does happen that I might eat and not be aware of whether or not I have actually done it. My mind is still elsewhere. If there are no traces of food packages laying around then I may not be fully aware if I have eaten that day. I still wouldn’t separate the last/inferior function from the rest. It is activated due to not being able to ‘solve life’ using the other functions (at least in my case). For example: if a person in my family deals with a serious health problem, I do become overly stressed yet don’t allow myself to show it or use my other functions. Instead, I just activate Se and start losing myself into watching something till I feel numb and distracted from the problem.
He is probably INTJ or INFJ. Man I been trying to find my type, I have been stressed out real bad and all I keep doing is trying and trying to find my type. If I am not finding my type, I always watching shows and movies painfully. Worst thing is I know the problem but being overloaded with so much info from different schools of thoughts in learning my type makes me more confused and obsessive about it. I don't think I'll count this experience as inferior Se because I don't drink but any other sensory thing I do. It's like I have to find meaning for my thoughts. Online tests aren't helping out. The keep saying INTJ but I am only in active mode when I got a skill to learn or in school and all that +10 yrs planning anecdotal descriptions doesn't fit me. Darn it's like a loop.
@@darth_santos1137 Have you tried to understand functions? Cognitive functions refer to how we take in and process information mentally with the purpose of forming a final decision (aka judgment). Depending on where the functions are positioned in the stack, their influence is gonna be different. The dominant function is the one that ‘runs the show’. It can be a perceiving one (Se/Si, Ne/Ni) or a judging one (Te/ Ti, Fe/Fi). In short,the added ‘e’ and ‘i’ to the functions determine their focus: e = external, i = internal. S - senses, N - ideas, T - thinking, F - feeling. All these functions are mental process. Even if F stands for feeling, it talks about mental processing of information and our reaction to it. Also, have you tried reading Jung’s descriptions of the functions? It could help.
This ENFJ starts to plan, organize - anything I can do to create order out of chaos. And yeah, I can tend to call myself an idiot approximately 400 times, depending on what brought on my stress.
and guilt and blaming oneself even when you know you've done the best job you could do and beyond even. Why do we do it to ourselves when we would surely call someone else out for doing it to themselves or some other person?
ISFJ, sooo spot on. I get so stressed easily when a deadline is coming up or anything to do with starting a project as well. I start rambling unrealistic “what if” scenarios to my mom and become so negative 😭 after the project, it turns out it wasn’t bad after all. But this cycle continues 🥲
As am ISFJ going through stressful times recently, I would say your description is pretty accurate. I have become overly cynical and pessimistic compared to my problems, probably due to old and trusted routines going out the window.
INTP here. I that when I was under grip stress, I would have embarrassing emotional outbursts and being overly emotional and a deep sense that I was feeling unloved and sometimes overly critical.
Really on point with the ISFJ! just because we're defenders doesn't mean we aren't capable of being offensive, which tbh only ever does appear when we're stressed. A possible theory as to why our habits turn a complete 180 when under stress could be related to how we're very aware of how our behavior works and it's flaws. Thinking "if being positive and constantly on defense really isn't going to work", we'll just simply lose our defining traits and adapt to use what you could say is "our true nature"
That's very accurate to me, as an INFP. In the worst period of my life, all of a sudden, I decided to get out of that paralyzed state and started to fill my days with productive things to do. I'm usually very stressed when doing group projects, because I hate to be that lazy friend who doen't help enough; so I always prefer to take the most difficult task to keep me occupied.
I relate the most with the negative aspects of ESFP/ESTP, followed by ENFP/ENTP. Based on the stereotypes I wouldn't consider myself any of them though, I wonder how I can figure it out.
@@joaovitordallalana5215 I forgot I posted this, but I figured it out. I actually thought I was an INTP for the longest. About three months ago, I started getting test results as an INFJ, so I identified with that. I was so paranoid and unhappy though to the point I started looking things up. I've realized I'm actually an ESTP after all, and that I was in a strong Ni grip. I'm pretty happy now and the ESTP functions really suit me. If not, I'd be a ENTP but ESTP applies to me more. If I took this video a little more seriously I could have concluded that faster, but at least I know now! So my advice is 1) Know what "loops/grips" fit you most 2) Know which functions you Definitely use to guide you (for me it's Fe/Ti and Se/Ni) 3) Don't let stereotypes of a type push you away from it, if that's the one you align with most 4) Make sure you're happy/grounded with your functions, don't limit yourself to functions that makes you unhappy (ex: me as a INTP/INFJ). Hope this helps you and other people in figuring out their type!
Well, as an INTJ, when I'm stressed I do not eat whatsoever, neither do I drink water, or rest. I do over do it when it comes to working out, to the point where I worked out six hours during weekends, and I was not eating, sleeping, or drinking any water. Fortunately, I understood that continuing with that unhealthy ruting, was clearly going to backfire at some point.
Hi, I love your videos and it would be much better if you also record a video with yourself, not only the text, it really helps me to absorb more info ❤️❤️❤️
what should I do if I'm stressed so much all the time that my flat is going to have holes in the walls and furniture because I clean everything so often? 😅 (INFP)
When I'm most stressed, my working personality type is ESTJ. I'll do whatever is possible to end a stressful situation and will mow down anything/one in my way. Otherwise it's just a nice, calm ISTP day.
"feeling completely off balanced" Totally and we switch to our subconscious mind ?! Too munch thoughts, ideas, analyses can make me stress, when a problem is not solve and stay in mind. Ni tank full, Se tank empty And the reverse is also true, too much sensory make me stress (I quite a short temporary job because of it : more than an hour in tramway + bus full of people + walking with vehicules noises) My mother healthy ESFJ : Care, generous, don't talk bad on people, don't criticize people, helpful. Her husband ESFJ too : Always criticize and talk negatively about people, stingy, stole things.
Oddly good timing. You spying on my life? Lol, jk. I'm at the most stressed I've ever been, amazingly. Thought helping my relatives move house would be easier, but everyone's having a mental breakdown. Good grief. I don't know how to control them right now for their own good. 😕 Anyway, after watching your vids for a long while, I'm finally posting my first suggestion: 16 personalities who are most invisible. Unless you've already touched on it. Icr. W/e. ☠️ But, I was trying to get an emergency temp job recently. Was calm, patient, and properly dressed as I watched the interviewer continually pass by to go to others. It's like I was sitting in stealth and didn't realize. Guess it's good I didn't get the job, the customers prob wouldn't see me either right now. 😭
As an isfp i confirm that currently i have no plan for anything and i have never been better xD last year planned half a year ahead and i was absolutely miserable! Infj's have got it all backwards lol 😃
Weird... I dont really identify with any of these, maybe the Se grip is kinda relatable but I dont think I am an INxJ. The two candidates are ENFP and INFP and Te grip does seem a little like me I suppose but it's not rly during times of stress... Hm
You might be an ENFP since sensory indulgence can happen with inferior Si too! Like eating nostalgic or comforting food (that's not necessarily healthy), spending money on "self care" items (candles, garden supplies/plants, cosmetics, etc.)
@@AnnaMidnightStar which inferior function causes overthinking during stress as the only side effect of being under extreme stress? I'm allegedly INTJ but the more I read comments... the more I doubt
Yea lol it's very accurate of the infp way because I am currently going through that, I've like never liked to follow routine and to do list and always failed but a week before the exam I started to make a full day routine without even 15 min leisure, and ofcourse I couldn't 💯 follow it but it's going pretty good and I'm able to follow 85 to 90 Percent of it

Oof, brutally on point with the INFP stress coping. Every time I'm stressed its clean the house, organize my environment... On the plus side its quite productive.
Lol
1001% true for me as well
My House garden attic basement and garage
And at times my friend's
omg, I thought that's something with me wrong 😅
We basically become ESTJs lol
@@larsthemartian9554 based on the four sides, INFP and ISFP have a side with ENTJ and ESTJ, so probably for that sometimes we become so different...
Hmm, I think my sister told one once that . Guess a infp
As a constantly stressed INTP, "reactive" is quite the word to describe it. I react at every little "wrong" thing.
Yeah because it probably feels like a personal attack
That’s tough. My 11 year old is an INTP and his hurt anger has long surprised me as an INTJ who barely lost my temper until my 20s. Mostly I work on helping him be more appropriately assertive because-unless it’s late and he needs to sleep-he usually has a point but is normally too tolerant of boundary pushers until he snaps.
@@CheriFields Grace you for working on it with your son in a healthy way!
My parents failed a little at the early anger intervention, which didnt help with my heightened respones now.
You nailed it Nathan, as INTJ I always either eat, gamble or both. And taking more risks too, especially with money. All manifests in the sensory world as if that wasn’t my normal state of being. Which probably isn’t. And sooner I get back to my head the better I’ll feel.
When I’m (INTJ) stressed I’ll start hook up a lot more and trying to cope my stress with sex lol.
@@Roy97h 😂 that would take all your energy lol
INFJ here, and I agree that he nailed it. When stressed, I can binge on pizza, CZcams, and studying my books. Also, I can randomly drag race if the other driver seems up to it. I'm working to limit my excesses, though.
Yes
@@Moodboard39 It does 😂 But I feel satisfied post sex, not only due to the received pleasure, but because the adrenalin kick. It feels like my body is telling me that I’ve done something important and productive
As an INFJ who falls to disordered eating and impulsive spending when things get stressful I very much feel this 🥲
So so true !!! Thats exactly me
Same, with the shopping! Lately, not as much. Thankfully.
Thankfully I'm broke so I can't do that lol
Sofie Arts - Yep, same here. Pandemic broke my butt. Now I’m just a happy little hermit.
You are not alone!
Spot on for INTJ. In the grip of stress (especially when combined with an existential crisis) I'm much more likely to succumb to shameful vices or addictions, or drive recklessly, as if I've become a naughty ESTP.
Oh my goodness the driving thing, yes. When I'm stressed I just want to drive fast. (Normally I'm happy to drive relaxed and let people by me so I don't feel rushed.) It takes _a lot_ to not pass people dangerously when I'm in that mood...
My INFP husband, my INTP daughter and me (INTJ) are exactly as described. It’s kind of creepy when someone can describe what you are like when you don’t feel like yourself.
Barnum effect
true when i am under stress with full concentration, all my senses heighten and suddenly i can hear every single miniscule detail and see far away
also, thanks for the update
- an ENFP
As an ENFP the hypochondria and perfectionism are too real! 🙃
My daughter isn’t old enough to think she’s sick but, oh, my, does she get perfectionistic when school assignments stress her out.
Same as an ENTP. Perfectionism that swings wildly between debilitating and obsessive, lowkey maniacal.
INFJ here. Ni/Se imbalance is quite annoying. I am goal oriented and stoic most of the time, on grindset if you will. Fully devoted to my art career without any distractions like sugar, alcohol and video games. But a productive month is usually followed by a week of apathy and guilty pleasures.
🤝
Well fuck…🤔
as an INTJ, HOLY SHIT YOU NAILED IT PERFECTLY. I ALWAYS find myself becoming overly indulgent when im stressed out, whether that be food or video games, and usually this ends up just creating more stress in the long run
But I'm INTJ too and the only side effects of being under extreme stress that I have is overthinking?
I am actually usually quite calm in very stressful situations.
Is it only me or are there any others INTJs who work well under stress?
@@user-qh1jt3cj1g Well you have become a very healthy INTJ. You are close to mastering that aspect of our personality type so good for you. Do share some tips on how you attained that.
@@manavnayyar By being mistyped, yeah, found out recently that I'm actually ENTJ, sorry won't be able to help...
@@user-qh1jt3cj1g bruh. My father is also an ENTJ and they are built for leadership roles so no wonder you can handle stress easily.
Lesson learned: do not stress out ExFJs unless you are prepared to deal with a brutally honest critic.
@@thecod2345 my Ti brethren. i cant bring myself to do it all the time cuz its mentally exhausting but when im fed up thoughts i had brewing just start coming out in the most brutal of ways
@@thecod2345
As an INTJ, I thought the exact same thing when it came to the ESxPs.
I’m an INTP and under stress I turn into a nightmare. And there’s levels depending on how bad or prolonged the stress is. I really hate myself in this state until I’ve been entirely too stressed and then I reach a mega-I-don’t-give-a-funny about anybody… happily proceeds to implode, explode, burn down the world around me! It’s terrible lol Luckily, also rare 🙃
Also, it affects me physically to be in any negative state of mind. From stress to anger to sadness. At minimum I will assuredly experience a mad headache and feel completely out of it. It can take a while to find my center again 😣
But with experience I’ve become better at putting the brakes on, better handling, detecting situations or ppl I should get away from, as well as pulling up my manuals, scripts, directions, motivational posters I need to hang up on my mind walls to ride out the shitty if I have to 🤓
ENFP here! Oh my god!!!! everytime im under stresss i start having thousandsss of problems. chest pain, cold, UTI, diarrohoeeaaa, low bp, high bp, i looseee 7-8 kgs in less than a week, i stop eating, i become a skeleton, i only drink water, i start having anxiety and my eye hurts, my lungs hurt................. but... when i go for checkup, after i get my medical reports, the doctors are like "theres nothing wrong with you" and it makes me so maddd. its always a mess!! also yessss perfectionist!!! i feeel like i start having ocd. its as if i try way toooo hard to not mess anything up and try to keep EVERYTHING in check. even tho i work amazing under stresss but when im dealing with it alone and not when someone else is putting stress on me. if its my own problem i feel like i can always have my way through it, but if theres other people annoying me and putting expectations on me and forcing me and telling me to do this do that, idk thats when i crash and i get depressed. And if im dealing w stress aloneee i can always figure my way outt yayayyaayyayyay! i hate when human beings annoy me when im stressed. like LEAVE ME ALONE. its my problem notttt yoursssss. yeeeeeeeeettt
My ENFP daughter is prone to anxiety, particularly when it comes to school. When she's stressed about homework, she makes it worse be being unreasonably hard on herself, and expecting perfection when it isn't needed. This can spiral into full on panic attacks (which, thankfully, we are getting better at managing.)
Wish me luck about that too🥺🤞🏼 -fellow enfp
I’m an ENTP and I also totally agree with this comment and video.
Have you considered homeschooling?
@@oliviarose3513 We had a taste of that during the height of lockdown. In person school is much better for her mental health.
@@oliviarose3513 she’ll still have to work through this but it could be easier. My daughter did the same thing (minus full panic attacks) about once a month with me as her teacher until her senior year (she was still tempted but managed to handle herself without visible drama except a few times)
Infj here. Definitely went to my psychiatrist a few months ago to address possible binge eating disorder. I also tend to over exercise sometimes or over indulge in art when I’m stressed. So you’re spot on. Learning balance.
I have a lot of anxiety and often take things personally, despite being an INTP and therefore, supposedly, laid back. It proves to me how often in the Fe grip I have been.
dude as an INTJ I just eat more and become really impulsive in everything. I feel empty so I fill it up by shopping a lot impulsively etc, it's pretty bad. Wish it could be productive instead!
Been stressed for so long I forgot what life is like without it.
Damn that's rough. Sorry man
"That which does not kill us makes us stronger." - Friedrich Nietzsche
Hope it makes you feel better
Really resonate with the INFJ description, whenever I get super stressed I feel the need to Do Something. Whether that something is standing in a field and screaming at the sky until people from nearby buildings come out to check on me, putting cheese in the microwave and eating it, or getting blackout drunk and crying on two middle aged goths in a taxi, I never know what it's going to be until I'm doing it.
INTJ here. You're spot on.
As an INFP, I think when there's some external pressure to do well, or when things *aren't* going well, I feel a need to take control, to overcompensate and make things work. During those times, I value speed, efficiency, and effectiveness. In the short run, it can be extremely productive; in the long run, this may result in being overwhelmed and burnout...
Watching this while slightly stressed 🥲 About to jump into a stressful situation probably leading to more stress (if it goes well), yay!
Absolutely well said
I literally go in CONTROL MODE BEFORE THE WORLD BURNNNSS.. and then realize I gave myself the burnout and cant move for a while.. lmaooo
Sameee
INFP
Lol
1001%
My House garden attic basement and garage will all be cleaned. detailed and 'perfect'
And Hoarded clutter that hasn't been 'repurposed' will be discarded. Clothes that I admit ill never wear given away.
etc
If this isn't enough ,
then a detailing these things for a friend will do as well
Intj. I often neglect myself and forget about self care, at the times of stress.
I’m unapproachable, impulsive, angry and very judgmentsl at those times.
Same. Intj female here and I tend to either spend hours daydreaming in my head, watch videos, sleep or strenuously work out when I am stressed but the working out isn't about self care part. I become very neglectful about self care but the repetitive motion is what soothes me.
@@Raven_Black_252 yes. It’s like an itch that needs scratching. Or a way of escaping from ourselves.
I forgot to mention substance abuse. Chainsmoking, drinking lots of tea, eating a lot and going for a run, Or walk.
@@pinkbanana1276 I feel like one of the few INTJs who hasn't succumbed to smoking! Have you, or Raven Black, ever tried drumming? Especially when it comes to the double-kick heavy metal kind, it's a complete detachment from the outside world and is highly intense. It will have you constantly chasing perfection and limits, similar in a way to rock climbing.
@@johnknight9150 i can literally feel what state of mind you are talking about. Unfortunately, I don’t like it, but of course there are lots of replacements.
@@pinkbanana1276 What replacements did you have in mind? The specific appeal of drumming (particularly advanced drumming) is the four-way independence, which can be extended further into interdependence with polymetric and/or polyrhythmic drumming, where one part of your body can be playing in one time signature while the rest of you plays in another time signature. It's like a combination of Zen and violence.
My INTJ go-to under stress is wine and food I should not be eating. I need to train myself to opt for the binge exercising instead.
As infp, when covid restrictions relaxed I knew I needed to go out and be social in person again, but I was really stressed about it. So in two weeks I deep cleaned the house, threw three parties and went to two others. Then for the next two weeks I never left the house and even my phone was dead.
ISFP - In the most stressful time of my life, I went into a sudden onset of purging my entire life and did a mass clean up. I wouldn’t call it a bad thing though. That wave of Te fixed a lot of built up trash I didn’t need in my life, both in the physical world and the social. I went from being a clutter bug to a minimalist overnight.
My ISFP son also did exactly this and it scared the hell outta me! I was worried he was having some kind of breakdown or something! Nope. He was fine. It was sure odd and unsettling to witness, though.
@@janeofthejungle4 lol yeah, well I’d say it was still a breakdown, so it could’ve been for him as well, but not all breakdowns are bad. Getting rid of the “normal” for rapid change is exactly what people need sometimes.
As an ENFP, I go through constant cycles of this kind of cleaning/cleansing. My mom would have flipped out too if I'd done it during my teenage years 😄
@@janeofthejungle4 Coming from an INFP, trust me, it's a breakdown. your kid would most probably be very irritated, very cranky when he was doing all of that, almost hating every minute of it & would bite anyone who dares to come near, when he's doing all of that. but, it has to happen though. our types are very good at having shit build up after all.
Falcon Windblade - yes, he was exactly, everything that you just described there, and I just stayed wayyy out of his way! Lots of banging and smashing. Like you said, after he was all done it was like he’d been reborn or something! Even happily showing his room off to everyone else in the house. It happened when his childhood was ending. He got rid of a lot of his precious childhood figurines and such.
im ISFP, and even without stress, i love being responsible and when im in a team i usually take th leader role, but i prefer so much doing work alone and sometimes im so critical. i was thinking for so long in a possible mistype, but then i learn we are all differents, in my case, im so flexible with how act and how think in differents situations for my personal values. so if others dont get the things done, i focus on myself and i do everything for being a example and not what will affect me.
this is so accurate, thank u.💜
Always feel like you are spot on for ESFJ. Helps me get better clarity on myself and how I relate to the world more articulately.
Thanks for that! 🙂
~Saiyren
The INxJ one reminds me of an INFJ teacher I had once who was very principled and led an ascetic lifestyle but allowed himself one indulgence - smoking - and indulged in it hard. He died of lung cancer a couple of years after I took his class. :/
Also, as an INFP, I will say that sometimes stress and pressure, as much as I hate it, is exactly the impetus I need to actually get stuff done! The number of times I've cleaned and organized my home in a mad rush after procrastinating for weeks because people were coming over...
Enter, the INFJ who overthinks about the future due to the "deep" thoughts, and regretting the past.
Yes, I think we INFJs win the prize for flagellating ourselves over past regrets endlessly. Hate those loops!
I’m INFJ and I don’t regret my past. Everything that happened back then led to where I’m at now and I’m sooo thankful for where I’m at and who I have in my life. Since all of it/them came as a direct result of my past playing out exactly as it did, I cannot regret any of it. Not even the not so great parts. They all happened for specific reasons. Some reasons I understand some I don’t yet understand but one day I will, and some I’ll never understand.
@@janeofthejungle4 this mindset right here, is what everyone needs. I've adopted it recently but it's hard to believe it sometimes (even though I know it's 100%). Everything in this life was not just a mere coincidence and I'm grateful for everything..... But I guess it's because of my depression that I stay in that loop the reply above u talked about. Currently working on my mental health since it has impacts on everything else in my life.
Nailed it for this ENTJ currently under major stress for the last few months! I’ve been evaluating my life, what I want, and making a career change since then. Still no decision made… which stresses me out more… and the cycle repeats
INFJ -very true. Realizing reality is stranger than slipping out of it to me. I kind of binge on art so much I come to despise it- but still love it 😑 too much to abandon it.
You binge on art? wtf does that mean?
@@oddefy It's like when people binge on Netflix for the storyline and characters.
When I do it with art, it's due to it's history, it's meaning, how it changed the world, how it told the ugly and beautiful truths of it and us as people, how it gives color and shape and form using illusions of lines and gradients etc.
You see, when I was younger I started wanting to binge eat, but I asked myself how that was helpful long term. And because it was ultimately self defeating, I chose something healthier to binge on-art. A different kind of food, I suppose, 😂.
I have a terribly difficult time really seeing the physical world; art grounds me into seeing it.
Great video! As an ENFJ, I can end up saying unintentionally hurtful things with my Ti and it is often directed at myself. You can also use your third function wrong so like your INXJ section, I am prone to overindulging in the sensory with my Se.
Painfully accurate for INFP. I’ve been trying to get my life together for years. My desk is covered in failed schedules, and I’ve become increasingly demanding and impatient with those close to me.
I don't function at all under stress. I have a instant fight or flight response and need hours to calm down. On the upside i can be very calm when other people are panicking... No idea why though 😅 - infp
Now I know why I cleaned and reorganise my room every time I stress. ISFP HERE😅😅
Thank you Nathan you are spot on.
You just described my current state with my group presentation and Te grips. The whole group probably thinks I'm tyrant, a very paranoid tyrant
- ISFP
Sounds like my mom when Te grip. You don’t want to see her grip as she will be a scary person.
How true. (Intj here)
For the less harmful ones, netflix, CZcams books. Love them to escape my reality.
For the less happy stuff...
I am always stressed, and thus for years i was a big emotional eater. I (kinda) solved this with intermittent fasting (2 meals each day 16:8).
For exercise i tried yoga successfully for two years (yes i was that unfit and obese that yoga was challenging), and 5k jogs and now i am happily into challenge of body weight challenges in CZcams -to die- to become master of my fitness journey...
Also philosophy! God! Philosophy podcasts helped me a ton in order not to be bored.
I recommend this one: Philosophise This!
It's great.

INTJ
INTJ: How will I solve my sensory and emotional problems? By using more systems!
ENTP with health anxiety. When I am stressed my health anxiety gets worse, this is why a few years back I started obsessing over exercise.
But right now I am overwhelmed with work and I try to cram too much into my schedule so my anxiety is through the roof. I am currently looking to change my work and life a bit so thr uncertainty is making me feel even more internally agitated, at least I still exercise so it relieves my stress somewhat.
Having hypochondria is the worst, for me it comes and goes in cycles. It is the worst in spring time. I can't even sit down anymore and listen to people speak anymore, my mind is constantly wandering.
*rant over*
Damn this is too personal. I felt like I was dying yesterday from a tooth infection. The dentist said it's not too bad but I feel my blood pumping through it and throat shrinking so this is not fun
Damn spot on😑 entj and intj
Spot on as usual for the INTJ, as I was often indulging my senses to deal with stress when I was in a very abusive relationship. Drinking, thrill seeking, anything sensory I could enjoy in excess and was extreme. Anything to FEEL out of my mind. Doing much better these days now that my PTSD is being treated and I'm states away from my lived nightmare
I'm always stressed before I begin something, then just in the flow.
As an INFP, I’ve created very elaborate organizational systems for myself and then totally rebel against the whole thing. Over the years, I’ve gotten better at trying to “stress-manage” smaller projects. That helps me come around to my usual chill self a little sooner.
I hate getting hypercritical of others though. It makes me feel like such a fraud or failure or something.
My husband is an ESTJ and I’m always amused to see him become more like me when he’s stressed. He just doesn’t know how to do it very well. 😆
When I’m stressed and trying to clean the whole house and get hung up on making one drawer or closet “perfect” before I can move on to the next item, he helps me get through it and reminds me that it doesn’t have to be perfect right now because I can always come back to it later.
I so relate to the stress driven act of making one space perfect before being able to move on to anything else. If I run into an issue during the perfection cleaning of an area, it will stop me dead in my tracks. I will ponder and fret over solutions to said issue whilst solving /completing absolutely nothing, often through a veil of angsty frustrated blubbering...
I like the video before watching it. Love your presentation Nathan!
Right now I'm under stress. And you copletelly nailed how i try to deal with it. (ISFP)
ENTP - so true!
"Get your 💩 together" was literally one of the entries in my long To-Do list last week, when I was under stress -ISFP
I’m cleaning my house today. The appraiser is coming tomorrow. I don’t like it. But the house is looking quite nice and ultra clean and orderly, now. Yay. You were correct on my stress thing. INFJ. Right now I’m not stressed I’m just super bored and super annoyed because cleaning is boring af and now my dumb allergies are acting up and I can’t stop sneezing. I hope everyone else is having a happier day than me. I should put on some feel good music. On the bright side, my house wasn’t really messy to begin with so luckily I can go at my preferred pace.. slowly, gently and steadily.
Thanks for another great video.
this is actually really accurate. i’m an infp and i’ve noticed recently that i haven’t been doing hobbies or things that i like as much as i usually would. the book i started before the week of my school finals is still abandoned and i haven’t finished reading it, my screen time is down quite a bit, and i haven’t been spending as much time on youtube (this channel is an exception, and rightfully so). i didn’t realize that i was “throwing out useless stuff” until i watched this video. i also do kind of reorganize my desk and clean my room when i’m stressed, but that may also be my way of procrastinating and convincing myself that i’m doing something “productive”.
Spot on for me as an ESTJ and my husband an INTJ. Yup the emotional bottle up and dump is very true for me and the over evaluation. My husband's gaming increases and he will binge watch a show. I work for an INFP and he does the purging organization and last week we did just that. So this was helpful 😊
That awkward moment when the grip description sounds like most of your life. - ISTP
Damn i daw esfp and estp and the first thing i thought was "paranoia" turns out i'm actually learning and not just forgetting things when i click off the videos
As an istj this is accurate. Taking different projects in a panic mode as a way to cope with inconsistency. Fear of the future and the worst scenarios that may or may not be realistic.
This was shockingly accurate, well done (estp)
ENTJ 💯 the case. That and stress eating the resulting feelings away.
Are you successful?
I have to point out that the ENFP is truly on point. I have 3 ENFPs in my life (my sister, my aunt and grandma). All of them constantly under stress. A nightmare to handle when they're unhealthy. Out of my entire family, these 3 have given me the most unpleasant moments of my entire life. They're not bad people, but they sure know how to hurt.
I had a stressful situation with my dog's health and I was an emotional wreck. I absolutely hated it. I normally would just check out of my emotions and solve the problem at hand, but I couldn't do anything to improve the situation and my dog wouldn't understand nor deserve my detachment. Thankfully everything turned out fine, but having to deal with my own relatively unfamiliar emotions was so overwhelming. -ISTP
INTJ going through a divorce. I'm unable to focus on my work which used to bring me so much joy, I work out 3 times a day, drinking way more than I'd ever do normally, started smoking and straight up proposed casual sex to a friend. I don't even know who I am anymore. I hope this stops soon.
Why would you do that? It has nothing to do with the personality type? Even in adversity I'd never resort to alcoholism, smoking, gambling etc. It's a waste of money and it doesn't help you solve your problems. I'm INTJ as well, and I don't understand your pain or what you're going through, but I know how much it hurts losing a loved one. Giving in to bad habits will only have long term consequences for you both financially and physically, the best solution is to calm down and think rationally again, only then will you find what works best for you
Why divorce then? Stay married and work it out. I Will pray for you..Go to Jesus not mbti videos, drugs/alcohol, sex etc which is sin..it Will not solve anything
I deal with stress by watching your videos
No, actually. I (an INTP) procrastinate until I either become so stressed that I finally do something useful, or the deadline passes and I can't do anything about it anymore.
I'm an INFP, and you explaining unhealthily Te has confirmed it in my mind. This past year has been a really, really, REALLY stressful one for me, and that unhealthy Te came out so much 😟😔 I lost one of my good friends, got into a new job, and got a new roommate who is messier than me. Whenever she was home I would go into lecture mode. Not good, not good at all.
Yeah I've been snacking a lot and acting more self-destructively lately. I'm depressed and have kind of given up on trying when it comes to school and other official things. This society just isn't made with people with mental illnesses, disabilities, etc or anyone with a personality type other than the SJs in mind.. I sure hope it'll change somehow but the "I'll help save the world myself!" mindset has vanished from my mind.
I did walk three laps around my house and run up and down a steep hill twice today, though. So that's healthy of me.
As an Intj i would need to be stressed all the for days or even weeks to develope such a bad behavior.
Usually when I'm stressed I take one or more deep breaths, try to think about to handle the situation and adapt my plans if need be.
I think this kind of behavior, to step back for a moment and think rational should be a general strategy to deal with stress.
This comment will come back to haunt you, my INTJ brother! ;-) When life starts to crank up and become much harder and more complex, the infantile behaviours you've been looking down upon will start to rise up like a werewolf instinct inside a man before midnight. It's good that you have self-control, but as the saying goes, the bigger they are, the harder they fall.
@@johnknight9150 You are right. It did so many times before I even wrote it.
But it also proves it correct, because this attitude helps me to reorganize and move on. For me this is life, Failure, Adaption and success in a cycle until death.
@@benediktwalch1605 Well I agree with the last part. You will need to fail and adapt a few more times until you have something more nuanced. Alas, such a thing usually comes with age - no shortcuts. :-/
As an INTJ, I shut down mentally and emotionally and just sleep or slow down a lot. I also give into vices. I extrovert very little, so basically turn down SE world to a minimum.
Tou are looping
You*
The line between doing research and getting lost in time and space is quite blurred to me. Suddenly, a phrase such as: let me do a quick reading on ______ (whatever topic it is) finds me well into the night (or break of dawn). Even if I am not stressed, controlling Se is hard. I usually overdo things in terms of reading, watching, solving problems,… The Se factor is not triggered in a way that resembles a Se dominant person. It still serves Ni. Only in an unhealthy way. It does happen that I might eat and not be aware of whether or not I have actually done it. My mind is still elsewhere. If there are no traces of food packages laying around then I may not be fully aware if I have eaten that day. I still wouldn’t separate the last/inferior function from the rest. It is activated due to not being able to ‘solve life’ using the other functions (at least in my case). For example: if a person in my family deals with a serious health problem, I do become overly stressed yet don’t allow myself to show it or use my other functions. Instead, I just activate Se and start losing myself into watching something till I feel numb and distracted from the problem.
What's your type?
He is probably INTJ or INFJ. Man I been trying to find my type, I have been stressed out real bad and all I keep doing is trying and trying to find my type. If I am not finding my type, I always watching shows and movies painfully.
Worst thing is I know the problem but being overloaded with so much info from different schools of thoughts in learning my type makes me more confused and obsessive about it.
I don't think I'll count this experience as inferior Se because I don't drink but any other sensory thing I do.
It's like I have to find meaning for my thoughts.
Online tests aren't helping out. The keep saying INTJ but I am only in active mode when I got a skill to learn or in school and all that +10 yrs planning anecdotal descriptions doesn't fit me.
Darn it's like a loop.
@@TaxingIsThieving By functions: Ni Fe Ti Se. By letters: INFJ.
@@darth_santos1137 Have you tried to understand functions? Cognitive functions refer to how we take in and process information mentally with the purpose of forming a final decision (aka judgment). Depending on where the functions are positioned in the stack, their influence is gonna be different. The dominant function is the one that ‘runs the show’. It can be a perceiving one (Se/Si, Ne/Ni) or a judging one (Te/ Ti, Fe/Fi). In short,the added ‘e’ and ‘i’ to the functions determine their focus: e = external, i = internal. S - senses, N - ideas, T - thinking, F - feeling. All these functions are mental process. Even if F stands for feeling, it talks about mental processing of information and our reaction to it. Also, have you tried reading Jung’s descriptions of the functions? It could help.
This ENFJ starts to plan, organize - anything I can do to create order out of chaos. And yeah, I can tend to call myself an idiot approximately 400 times, depending on what brought on my stress.
Then I give myself shit for calling myself stupid -enfj as well ☠️☠️
@@hannarose1523 💯
and guilt and blaming oneself even when you know you've done the best job you could do and beyond even. Why do we do it to ourselves when we would surely call someone else out for doing it to themselves or some other person?
@@Miluielle agreed. I have started looking at myself from an outwards perspective to help with this.
I like how you described all the Grip states in a succinct way
So basically we're prone to becoming alcoholics of the physical, yeah I get that, this was informative n helpful, thank you kind sir
ISFJ, sooo spot on. I get so stressed easily when a deadline is coming up or anything to do with starting a project as well. I start rambling unrealistic “what if” scenarios to my mom and become so negative 😭 after the project, it turns out it wasn’t bad after all. But this cycle continues 🥲
about the entp one... gosh, that's why i've been too hard on my associates... thanks for the eye-opening video!
Intj... totally. This is such amazing!
As am ISFJ going through stressful times recently, I would say your description is pretty accurate. I have become overly cynical and pessimistic compared to my problems, probably due to old and trusted routines going out the window.
"Are you calling me stressed?! 'I'm not stressed, you @*$#@*^ !!"
- ESTJ
😂😉
INTP here. I that when I was under grip stress, I would have embarrassing emotional outbursts and being overly emotional and a deep sense that I was feeling unloved and sometimes overly critical.
Omgg, my mom is actuallyan ISFP she clean those chores when she gets mad or stressed out 😂
Really on point with the ISFJ! just because we're defenders doesn't mean we aren't capable of being offensive, which tbh only ever does appear when we're stressed.
A possible theory as to why our habits turn a complete 180 when under stress could be related to how we're very aware of how our behavior works and it's flaws. Thinking "if being positive and constantly on defense really isn't going to work", we'll just simply lose our defining traits and adapt to use what you could say is "our true nature"
That's very accurate to me, as an INFP. In the worst period of my life, all of a sudden, I decided to get out of that paralyzed state and started to fill my days with productive things to do. I'm usually very stressed when doing group projects, because I hate to be that lazy friend who doen't help enough; so I always prefer to take the most difficult task to keep me occupied.
I relate the most with the negative aspects of ESFP/ESTP, followed by ENFP/ENTP. Based on the stereotypes I wouldn't consider myself any of them though, I wonder how I can figure it out.
Yo, have you found a nice way to get closer to finding your type? I'm between these ones too.
@@joaovitordallalana5215 I forgot I posted this, but I figured it out. I actually thought I was an INTP for the longest. About three months ago, I started getting test results as an INFJ, so I identified with that. I was so paranoid and unhappy though to the point I started looking things up. I've realized I'm actually an ESTP after all, and that I was in a strong Ni grip. I'm pretty happy now and the ESTP functions really suit me. If not, I'd be a ENTP but ESTP applies to me more. If I took this video a little more seriously I could have concluded that faster, but at least I know now!
So my advice is 1) Know what "loops/grips" fit you most 2) Know which functions you Definitely use to guide you (for me it's Fe/Ti and Se/Ni) 3) Don't let stereotypes of a type push you away from it, if that's the one you align with most 4) Make sure you're happy/grounded with your functions, don't limit yourself to functions that makes you unhappy (ex: me as a INTP/INFJ). Hope this helps you and other people in figuring out their type!
As an INFJ when I’m under stress…a lot more impulsive purchases/retail therapy or snacking 😅
100 % true INFP😅
Well, as an INTJ, when I'm stressed I do not eat whatsoever, neither do I drink water, or rest. I do over do it when it comes to working out, to the point where I worked out six hours during weekends, and I was not eating, sleeping, or drinking any water. Fortunately, I understood that continuing with that unhealthy ruting, was clearly going to backfire at some point.
Hi, I love your videos and it would be much better if you also record a video with yourself, not only the text, it really helps me to absorb more info ❤️❤️❤️
Your videos just keep on confirming how enfp I am lmao
what should I do if I'm stressed so much all the time that my flat is going to have holes in the walls and furniture because I clean everything so often? 😅 (INFP)
When I'm most stressed, my working personality type is ESTJ. I'll do whatever is possible to end a stressful situation and will mow down anything/one in my way. Otherwise it's just a nice, calm ISTP day.
Heh not me. Im on spring break right now. Dw I'm already subscribed 😌
Absolutely.
Entp Historian here this happened to me when I had three papers due in the same week
Ah yes, the overindulgence. Always a sign for me to take better care of myself.
I feel called out
As an INFJ, I’ve gained 20 pounds when this past year because of stress.
"feeling completely off balanced" Totally and we switch to our subconscious mind ?!
Too munch thoughts, ideas, analyses can make me stress, when a problem is not solve and stay in mind. Ni tank full, Se tank empty
And the reverse is also true, too much sensory make me stress (I quite a short temporary job because of it : more than an hour in tramway + bus full of people + walking with vehicules noises)
My mother healthy ESFJ : Care, generous, don't talk bad on people, don't criticize people, helpful.
Her husband ESFJ too : Always criticize and talk negatively about people, stingy, stole things.
How is same type but behave differently? So how can we take this seriously???
@@Moodboard39 One is healthy and balanced. The other have something not resolve with himself, with his past.
Oddly good timing. You spying on my life? Lol, jk. I'm at the most stressed I've ever been, amazingly. Thought helping my relatives move house would be easier, but everyone's having a mental breakdown. Good grief. I don't know how to control them right now for their own good. 😕
Anyway, after watching your vids for a long while, I'm finally posting my first suggestion: 16 personalities who are most invisible. Unless you've already touched on it. Icr. W/e. ☠️
But, I was trying to get an emergency temp job recently. Was calm, patient, and properly dressed as I watched the interviewer continually pass by to go to others. It's like I was sitting in stealth and didn't realize. Guess it's good I didn't get the job, the customers prob wouldn't see me either right now. 😭
I think I am agree with you!!!
I zone out many times in school while doing my task lmao and my classmate caught me one time and laugh my face be like 😶😮
As an isfp i confirm that currently i have no plan for anything and i have never been better xD last year planned half a year ahead and i was absolutely miserable! Infj's have got it all backwards lol 😃
Wow, all my stress is gone!
Weird... I dont really identify with any of these, maybe the Se grip is kinda relatable but I dont think I am an INxJ. The two candidates are ENFP and INFP and Te grip does seem a little like me I suppose but it's not rly during times of stress... Hm
You might be an ENFP since sensory indulgence can happen with inferior Si too! Like eating nostalgic or comforting food (that's not necessarily healthy), spending money on "self care" items (candles, garden supplies/plants, cosmetics, etc.)
@@AnnaMidnightStar Hmm that does sound a bit familiar lmao, I do tend to overeat
@@AnnaMidnightStar which inferior function causes overthinking during stress as the only side effect of being under extreme stress?
I'm allegedly INTJ but the more I read comments... the more I doubt
INTJ on point.
-intj female
Yea lol it's very accurate of the infp way because I am currently going through that, I've like never liked to follow routine and to do list and always failed but a week before the exam I started to make a full day routine without even 15 min leisure, and ofcourse I couldn't 💯 follow it but it's going pretty good and I'm able to follow 85 to 90 Percent of it
