    The worst thing when INFPs are stressed is to postpone every problem for later and not to deal with it in real time. It creates a huge amount of problems to solve later and a big stress that the things aren't done. We love to sabotege ourselves, aren't we? 😆

    • @gravyz2cute4u
      @gravyz2cute4u Pƙed rokem +16

      Yes, I struggle with this too, especially when I feel overwhelmed at work. I need to keep reminding myself to actually think and do things step by step and slowly everything will make sense even though it feels wrong. Most of the time it just feels wrong, but then when I actually get through the majority of the task, I find myself realising, no actually this part here validates/confirms what I was originally worried that I would get wrong/result in bad consequences (aka I was right all along but just could not see it). It's just getting started and persevering are the hardest things to do when I'm stressed. Even sending an email feels like too much because I'm worried that someone might incorrectly interpret my email and get mad at me, even though that's very unlikely to happen. I end up wasting soooo much time stressing about simple tasks when my mind is overwhelmed. I usually try to explain what I'm trying to do and my logic/reasoning to someone else to make sure that I stay on track and give myself some reassurance.

      As an INFP with 4 kids (very close in age) I’ve found myself forced to rely more often on my inferior TE and it has been very rewarding.

    • @anyadarlingg

      Exactly! And right now my current stressor is figuring my EXACT career/education goals (aka, which bachelor's will be best for my masters, which masters will be best for which licensing/job, if I should get my PhD or not- which school is best for my bachelors/masters- and all of that planning so far in advanced is helpful to an extent, but it is causing unnecessary stress when i should keep my main focus on one goal at a time. It's been making me put off schooling in general. But then I definitely notice I lack doing my chores, and just regular tasks at work like catching up on my email and turning in monthly work. The hands on things just become more draining for me.

    As an INTJ, you were so accurate that you made me cry. I didn't realise how much my real life has been messed up; I only spend time studying for high school. I quit my hobbies, stopped interacting with family, ignored friends; basically a mess. I will try to improve.
    Edit: Guys, I'm fine. It will take some time, but I'm sure I will be back on track. Thank you for your kind words 😊
    Edit 2: I found some solutions, and I think they are working. I find it easier to sleep day by day.
    Edit 3: College Update. I ended up not getting into my dream university (IIT Delhi), but instead ended up in my dad's dream university (BITS Pilani), when he was my age! I am pursuing the degree I had always aimed for, and have a fresh outlook in life. I am socializing (a thing hard for me), restarting my hobbies, and trying out new ones! Have re-engaged contacts with friends in last couple of months, and overall my family too is more lively after the end of my high-school phase. Spent the entire last month just chilling with family and friends.

      You said you went through a stressful time, did you ever talk to anyone about that? I understand that it's hard to talk about stuff, but I heard it can help, and talking things through doesn't make you weak or anything, but I get that maybe that other ppl won't understand and a lot of the time they don't
      Another thing is, how has your diet and sleep?
      It probably won't solve everything, but your diet and how many calories you consume can have a huge affect on your mood and mental well being
      Do you know why you feel alone?

Overthinking used to rule my life, it made nothing better and I did not like the person I was. So I just stopped- as much as one can. And instead I'm choosing to have faith in my talent and intuition to get me through tough situations in the moment, rather than thinking them- and myself- to death.

    As an ISTP, I do not immediately realize that I am under stress. Then emotions come and I don’t understand where they come from, it kind of accumulates and explodes. Or like a delayed wave. After I found out that I was an ISTP, I understood what was going on. My advice: pay close attention to your emotional health, no need to save, no need to protect other people, basically 98% of people are complete crap who cannot be held responsible for their words and actions (sorry lol). Therefore ...... do not waste time on them, do not protect, beware of manipulators (bad infj, for example), the most productive state is relaxed concentration (in the flow).

So I'll buy a bunch of ice cream, or listen to loud music, just to sort of "drown out" the stress, because if I can't do anything about it, it's out of my control, and I want to control at least _Something_ so Junk Food it is!

      (ENTP) If I get too stressed my brain will skip right past my "TI" and go straight into my "FE" translating to the same emotion every single time. Rage. I find rage to be strangely soothing for stress because at that point I don't have my normal distractions. No need to "find" motivation. It is much better now that I am older and can control my temper. I totally get the part where he explained my brain gets more "random" though. It makes me wonder how our brains cycle through the cognitive functions when it is overwhelmed. I think the fact I don't eat too much or other sensory activities comes from my SI function instead of your type's SE function.

You can also release Fe-demon and yell at the source of stress (this wastes my resource, I do not do this, although it is bad, because the person does not understand that he did shit, because I leave him and everything looks ..normal

    INTP here. You nailed it. And of course, because we can't make perfection on a deadline we end up procrastinating and pretending the problem doesn't exist. And then we realize that it's really too late to reach perfection, but a rushed job is better than nothing. So a flurry of activity and we end up turning in something that is actually decent, somehow. Usually. Maybe? Sometimes really good. Or nothing. Because anything is too hard at this point.

    I'm an INFJ and I've been working in a government office for almost 3 years now. I know the work is very repetitive, I don't even like desk jobs. Pay is somewhat good but I'm not really happy just sitting there. My anxiety got worse when my girlfriend told me that I should try taking risks putting up a business rather than staying in my job lol. I get her, but it's really not that easy when you're living in a 3rd world country. When I was in college, I really wanted to take psychology or any courses in the medical field but my parents forced me to get engineering (my dad's an engineer). Just 2 years in, I shifted to another course. I told them I'm not happy and I wanted to pursue psychology. My mom told me "well that's good but you'll have a hard time looking for jobs when you graduate. Why don't you try accounting". So I did. I did it because a lot of times that I tried to give my opinion on just about anything, she would attack me personally saying stuff like "oh you think you know better if you trust your intuition more than my advice based on my experiences now, do you. Let's see if you can handle it in the real world."

    Happens to me even with eating, writing a simple note down or looking something up. I need to prepare for it, make sure I have everything ready and haven't forgotten anything, check several times just to be sure and then do the thing after going through all the possible options in my mind many many times and afterwards I need to recharge and then the next thing pops up.

      @Lunits I'm also still going through the diagnosis assessment and hope I'll get the diagnosis soon...Good luck with yours! /gen
      I mean I got a longletter from my therapist where she says she thinks I'm autistic and explains it a bit more why she thinks so, so in case I won't get a "professional" diagnosis I can still at least show someone that if it's important. Because self diagnosis is obviously valid if you've done your research and all, but a lot of people wouldn't believe it. I mean even with an official diagnosis it's difficult...but the most important thing is that we know that it's true, so we can get to know ourselves better and learn that there's some things we can work on and that others will always be difficult, no matter how much we try, like the stress thing.
      Sure I could try to widen the focus on two things and get those done, but I'd still not be able to focus on anything else and maybe need more breaks and now I think I'm starting to get too deep into it and if I won't stop writing now I'll probably never stop.

      @HerKnightable Pƙed rokem

      @@Tagtot In theory, but there is another outcome. When I was a child, I had a short fuse. My temper would control me. Now, my temper can explode, and I can function reasonably while still being enraged. Emotions are not a weakness. They can, at times, be a disadvantage but they can also be a massive advantage. The secret you CAN get to the point to where they don't control you. Being able to suppress your emotions is not always the healthy pick. There ARE times... when you do need to, but it is a balance. Sometimes you need to feel them and work through them. For example, a nurse sees a child in pain. She feels sympathy and WANTS to make him better. That is a benefit. Now if she loses it to her sympathy, she is unproductive, but we still want to feel connected. That same thing that could hurt her productivity can also be the thing that makes her the best at her job. On the other hand... no kid wants to get a shot. And yet, look what happened to children during the last Polo outbreak. At that point she needs to suppress the feelings and do something she knows will hurt him to avoid something far worse for him. Those complicated emotions can become your strength if you can learn to use them in a healthy way, and sometimes yes... you need to suppress them, but do not rush for the later.

    It's not so much that I'm consciously like, "f*** my credit card bills and skincare routine!" but more that those things feel SO overwhelming when I have "bigger fish to fry," ie whatever problem(s) I'm dealing with. And the thought of approaching them feels Herculean, even though logically I know they are not that difficult, so I get in this toxic cycle of avoidance.
    Through discipline + self-work, I've been able to incorporate healthy routine into my life, which is something I'm proud of and know is really is good for me. BUT under stress...it's like all my progress goes out the window and I'm back at square 1!

He can also easily call out people and point out things that need to be changed or improve. When we talk, we usually agree on everything haha. The only difference is I find it hard to share it to others unless I'm sure that they also agree or that they will not be hurt in any way. When my best friend is stressed, he would usually lock himself in his room (we lived together when we were still in uni). I also do the same. We would watch series together and just talk or eat.
    He is now in Malta and I miss him every day. Such a rare thing to find a friend like that. Someone who understands me and I understand as well.

    INTP - yes, and for me it is not a bad reaction, I will try to explain, Frank! Normally I find it hard to act, I like to think and consider all options for a long time and I am eager to hear other peoples' opinions in order to have more data to process and analyze. In a stressful situation (and I don't mean a long-term situation when I am likely to be paralysed, I mean immediate danger/crisis) I act. I aways know instantly what is the best solution and I want to act accordingly at once, not to analyse more as usual. (Sometimes the solution is best just because it is there and I need to act quickly and use what I've got). So when I am with a group of people and they question my solution and they want to waste precious time on further discussion I am frustrated and yes I may say it's dumb or simply that it doesn't make sense, it's wrong. In the end if they don't agree, whenever possible I will part ways with the group and use my solution instead of trying to convince anyone. If I cannot part ways, well, I may be very confrontational, much more than usual. If it is not a group problem I would push others away as you said, bc they are wasting my time making me listen to their advise when for once I want to act not think. But in this case maybe I wouldn't say it's dumb, I would say don't talk to me right now

    INTJ here and you nailed that. When I’m not stressed, my physical world runs like a well-oiled machine. But when I get really stressed, it gets more and more chaotic and I’ll freeze up and retreat into planning mode. I know this about myself though so will force myself to do at least ONE thing in the physical each day, even if just a little thing like washing 2 dishes. Once I get some momentum I feel better and can begin to recover. But man it’s like dragging myself through molasses to do anything at all when things get too far out of control.

    But for highly stressful situations like real danger, that type of moment something inside your head presses the crisis button, red alert AAAAAAOOOOOOO siren, it feels like my Ni gives hand to Se under the order of a fakeTe. I will be cold and logical as an iceberg and will take a sequence of actions without even thinking, just by guts, and will keep in this mood until the danger passes away.

    ENFP here! I had too many situations where I refused to see the simplest solution. it always brought me to the point where I over complicated things and got stressed even more because my solution was too complex and didn’t solve anything anyway. And after my OUT of the box solution didn’t work I would choose to surrender and choose the simple one (no matter how much I didn’t want to). I failed so many times with my overcomplicated ideas, wasted so much more time and nerves with them, that it made me learn to lessen the pressure on myself and on a necessity to act out of the box. I accepted that a simple solution can be considered “creative” as well. THAT made my life so much easier ever since, I swear!

    In different situations I have handled stress differently. As a kid, the usual way was to supress it and solve it on my own without mentioning it to people around me all the meanwhile paying attention to what needs to be done in order for me to actually be helpful. Nowadays, it varies. Since my mom has been ill ever since I was 8, I have cultivated fears related to her situation that have kept my mind on a leash. Having to face the worst outcome according to my previous state of mind, I am starting to consider different elements and why we tend to circumvent difficult topics in regards to health and death. In order to handle stress, the dominant and inferior function need to start collaborating to the best of their abilities. My dad handles the situation by constantly leaving the house for a walk and thinking about things in such state. I usually need to "receive" information from different sources in regards to different topics, then go for a walk and process all that calmly on my own.

    i was waiting on fire for this !!!!! this is so accurate and very amusing lol keep going Franky ^^❀❀❀
    as an INFJ , it is true that i retreat from reality , like totally , i go ermit mode in my head , trying to abstract out the probleme ,solving it in my head instead of engaging in solving it in real life ! , like i do nothing concrete , so it gets worse in real life cuz i dont take care of those little real life details that ends up creating a tsunami lmao

      I do the same exact thing. And then I look back at all the time that got wasted (on YT lol) and all the stuff that didn't get done, and I feel so bad.
      I think communication is important here. If there's anyone you can talk to about what's stressing you out or about what you'd like to have happen in real life, it might help.
      For example, I had a big to-do list this week and was stress-paralyzed, but I texted my friend all the stuff I had to do, and it gave me some motivation to do some of it. I think it's because it makes it easier to see what parts you can control.
      But it is hard to even get the daily to-do list done if there's something like family tension going on.

    That nugget of info about how Infjs + Intjs are different in organisation than other judging types was veryy clarifying! The way they are mentally, spiritually organised but can let the material surroundings fall to chaos at times due to inferior Se đŸ˜¶
