Okay let’s get right into the video starting
Number 1: Keeping track of too many details
Perfectionistic, big-picture thinkers, INFJs
are keen on conceptualizing information to
They love synthesizing smaller bits and pieces
of observed information to later form a cohesive
larger-picture image that serves as a guide
And while they love to examine and inspect
certain information to better understand it
from all angles, this big-picture thinking
makes having a multitude of details seriously
Too many details and data thrown at an INFJ
all at once takes the INFJ away from their
natural tendency to form their own master
the basic information rather than uptaking
every frivolous detail in order to successfully
This is also true when it comes to an INFJ
Sure, they can come to a clear and fair conclusion
but they may struggle to explain the specifics.
It’s no surprise that the introverted and
sensitive INFJ would avoid socializing in
large crowds to avoid absorbing a plethora
of energies, however, that’s not the only
Depending on the set and setting, INFJs can
easily become overwhelmed by excitement, over-expressiveness
and even the simple act of a large group of
No, they’re not total scrooges, but sometimes
INFJs observe socializing as a little cringy,
especially when everyone has had their share
And while observing from a far is usually
quite enjoyable and not exactly overwhelming
get pulled into the crowd that it all becomes
And isn’t that the whole point of attending
To avoid this, they much prefer to spend time
on their own or with a few close friends to
avoid rapid discharge of their social battery.
Number 3: Doing something new while someone’s
One thing that almost every INFJ can relate
to is the struggle of concentration when they
Whether it’s training for a new job, learning
a new skill or even shadow-training someone
else, INFJs can feel seriously overwhelmed
when someone is observing them or something
they’re doing without being able to observe
Not only does this put serious pressure on
or not, but being watched as an INFJ also
takes away that sense of independence they
They prefer to get things done on their own
terms without feeling someone judging their
However, when it’s someone they love deeply
and feel safe with, this is an entirely different
Number 4: Having too much to do with such
There's nothing that compares to the overwhelming
In fact, due to their perfectionist nature,
having too much to do with no time to do it.
Unattainable deadlines, last-minute changes
in plans, and even spontaneous adventures
And since the last thing an INFJ wants to
do is cut corners or have something that represents
their work-ethic as disorganized, their sense
of concentration is replaced with overwhelming
When this happens, INFJs need to withdraw
to a place where they have privacy and relief
from overstimulation to give their brains
a chance to process the information and make
However, with all that being said, there’s
nothing worse than a tight deadline that they
have no one to blame for but themselves and
their procrastination, which brings us to..
Number 5: Having things to do with no order
To-do lists and planners are an INFJ’s best
While we can’t speak for every INFJ, most
people with this personality type require
some form of outer task organization in order
Especially in busy times when the INFJ has
taken on a little more than they can handle,
when thoughts and tasks are free-floating
And with the feeling of being overwhelmed
Unlike certain personalities such as the ESFPs
and ESTPs, who are able to just do things
without too much calculation, INFJs need a
foundation of organization in order to get
When there is no order or structure to their
plans, they’ll end up spending most of their
time task-avoiding rather than just going
head-first into the multitude of tasks that
Most INFJs are not only known to be highly
sensitive people, but they also have been
given the empath title because of their automatic
tendency to pick up and absorb the emotions
We talk about this gift/curse often on this
channel but how does it overwhelm the INFJ
Well, an example of this would be if an INFJ’s
spouse came home stressed about work, the
INFJ will absorb this feeling and begin feeling
just as stressed, despite how well their day
Or if a co-worker is sad, they will start
feeling extremely sad without first even realizing
why their coworker is sad in the first place.
Instead of just mentally acknowledging these
feelings and emotions in order to separate
them from their own, this personality type
actually begins to feel them for themselves.
And no one but the INFJ really knows just
how emotionally exhausting and overwhelming
it is to carry around not only their feelings
Number 7: Their own people-pleasing habits
Another quality of the INFJ that can end up
overwhelming them is their people-pleasing
INFJs hate to say no to someone in need of
They hate feeling like they have disappointed
others, and work hard to avoid this, yet because
of this, they have trouble setting boundaries
and finding ways to turn people down without
feeling an immense amount of guilt in return.
This can cause the INFJ to become overwhelmed,
Since they need to feel appreciated for their
actions, if it goes on too long with them
feeling like a doormat, the INFJ will eventually
reassess and might need to redirect their
In fact, these people-pleasing tendencies
not only cause the INFJ to end up taking on
more than they can chew, but it also can end
up making them feel spiteful towards others,
especially when their gestures aren’t appreciated.
Number 8: Having to contribute to ego-centric
The INFJ personality type is genuinely kind-hearted,
with the natural desire to navigate their
choices and decisions in life using their
But, since they’re thrown into this world
like the rest of us, INFJs are expected to
adhere to conventional standards just like
And because of this, they can experience a
tremendous amount of stress and overwhelming
feelings when they’re encouraged to chase
after goals that only serve the ego over their
In fact, INFJs can get overwhelmed by the
simple idea of making ends-meets by doing
They hate the idea that people are deemed
worthless or incapable unless they prove that
they can somehow be used to fill the wallets
of someone higher than them in such a profit-driven
Actually, if they were to dive deep enough
the idea of egoistic motives over that of
love can overwhelm this empathetic type to
Well PSYCH-Os, that’s it for today’s video..
