These Are The Things That Instantly Overload The Infj Brain explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.
making it one of their greatest assets. However,
with so much potential, external sensitivity
and the never-ending processing required,
sometimes it gets overloaded in the process.

Alright, let’s get right into it, starting with..
of a toll interpersonal conflicts have on their
wellbeing and state of mind. Conflict-avoidant,
they begin taking the necessary measures to
avoid even relationship-building arguments,
which sometimes has a less-than positive effect on
their connections. Despite the measures they take,
of the squabble. When this type is having
challenges with someone they love, such as within
their romantic relationship or within family,
their brain can become overwhelmed with not
only the normal fight or flight reaction,
where the opposite person is coming from.
This is where communicating their thoughts
on the matter becomes so tricky, as they’re
easily able to play devil's advocate, even when
it’s of detriment to themselves. Unlike some
close-relationed conflicts, it’s the unexpected
arguments and disagreements with acquaintances
INFJs have a hard time thinking on the spot,
especially when they’re distracted by anxiety.
Number 2: An issue they can’t quite resolve
part of this challenge is when there’s an issue
that they can’t resolve. Whether it’s personal,
interpersonal, conceptual, or a problem that isn’t
theirs at all, this problem-solving type becomes
seriously overloaded when they can’t resolve an
issue that has been brought to their attention.
With webs upon webs of information stored in
their brains, the INFJ prides themselves on
their ability to analyze, diagnose, and mend
issues of any sort. In fact, they’re not only
able to come up with the best solution forward,
but they’re able to somewhat predict the effect
it will have on everyone involved as well as any
future consequences, allowing them to narrow it
down to the best solution. It’s not only within
their nature, but it’s an ability that comes
from their very cognitive makeup of introverted
intuition, extroverted feeling and introverted
thinking. This is why when they’re unable to come
to even a non-ideal conclusion, their brains feel
as if they’re short-circuiting. They feel like
their brain is malfunctioning, and in reality,
it probably is being distracted by something
far deeper than they can put their finger on.
The mind of an INFJ is incredibly quick and
witty. It doesn’t take them long to understand
even the most complex theories and concepts,
allowing them to keep up in conversation,
no matter the topic. However, when this clever
personality type feels lost in discussion or is
introduced to a concept that they can’t quite wrap
their heads around, their brain quickly becomes
overloaded. Like a computer with too many tabs
open, the INFJ mind begins to overheat. Not only
with the continuous processing of information,
but also with the self criticism of inadequacy.
While they may play it off cool on the surface,
pretending as if they’re following along, on the
inside, there’s an internal battle that’s quickly
taking over their entire attention span. In fact,
sometimes, as a way of coping with the overload
of information, the INFJ may give up completely,
drifting off into their imagination land. Well,
they don’t exactly give up completely, as they
don’t take a lack of understanding as a solution.
Once they’re alone, they will do whatever it
takes to comprehend the topic, in order to put
their confusion at rest. Heck, they may even
take it as far as becoming an expert in it.
Number 4: Open work or learning environments
Ahh.. there’s nothing that quite overloads the
INFJ brain like an environment that doesn’t
allow them to tune into their introverted
functions. With the unique combination of
extroverted feeling/sensing and introverted
easily distracted by their environment. When it
comes time to observe and analyze others, this
combination couldn’t be more helpful. However,
when they’re required to concentrate on a task,
they require very specific external surroundings
in order to truly get their work done. This is
when traditional work and learning environments
become a little tricky. Open-concept offices,
classrooms, lecture rooms, and even homes can put
the INFJ’s brain into total overdrive mode. While
they become distracted by what’s going on around
them, their brain begins the cycle of telling them
to not focus on their external world, causing them
to only focus more. Despite taking the necessary
steps such as putting in headphones, sitting in
the lead-trafficked area, and practicing certain
concentration methods, there’s no combating this
brain-overload when it comes to open-environments.
With a pen and paper, INFJs are unstoppable when
it comes to taking orders and instructions. Once
it’s written out where they can refer back
to it, or re-read it as many times as needed,
this personality type will excel at any task
given. However, when someone gives them a complex
verbal order with countless intricacies, there’s
no doubt that the brain will become overloaded
with detail. In order to move forward, this
perfectionistic type needs to understand the
hows and whys of the task, including just
the end. Whether it’s a work project, a school
assignment, a DIY, or directions to a location,
the INFJ brain quickly becomes distracted by their
own questions and conceptualizing before they have
the chance to grasp all that’s being said.
Before they know it, their brain goes blank,
and they feel completely useless. It’s not
like they have a couple questions at the end,
but rather a blank stare, followed by a “could you
repeat that slower” or a simple “text it to me”.
If you’re an INFJ yourself, you’ll know just how
indecisive this personality type can be. With
the tendency to consider multiple perspectives
and potential outcomes before making decisions,
being put on the spot to make quick decisions
can quickly overload their thinking power.
Rooted in their introverted intuition seeking
to understand the bigger picture and future
possibilities, it leads them to weigh many factors
that inevitably leads to overthinking. Much like
their problem-solving abilities, even when it
comes to even the simplest of decisions, they have
an internal fear of regretting their decision.
From deciding which brand of tomato sauce to buy
at the grocery store to whether or what to choose
off of the restaurant menu, there’s something
about these somewhat meaningless decisions that
cause their brains to feel completely overloaded.
Whether it’s training for a new job, learning a
new skill or even shadow-training someone else,
if there’s one thing that almost every INFJ can
relate to, it’s the brain overload that comes when
they feel someone is watching them. It doesn’t
take long for INFJs to feel seriously overwhelmed
when someone is observing them or something
they’re doing without being able to observe
back. Not only does this put serious pressure on
them, but being watched as an INFJ also takes away
that sense of independence they are always
chasing. Regardless if it’s intended or not,
this pressure makes their brain feel seriously
overloaded. Instead, they prefer to get things
when it’s someone they love deeply and feel
safe with, this is an entirely different story,
but it takes a great deal of trust; which
we all know doesn’t come easy as an INFJ.
There's nothing that compares to the overwhelming
feeling of a tight deadline, especially for the
procrastinating INFJ. In fact, matched with their
perfectionist nature, one of the INFJ’s biggest
pet peeves is having too much to do with no time
to do it. Unattainable deadlines, last-minute
changes in plans, and even spontaneous adventures
can throw an INFJ into total brain-overload panic
mode. 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
anxiety. 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 a
stable plan. However, with all that being said,
there’s nothing worse than a tight deadline that
they have no one to blame for but themselves.
