3 Hacks INFPs Can Do To Stop Overthinking the Future

INFP overthinking is tiring and frustrating. We overthink finding a solution to circumstances that haven’t happened yet. We overestimate situations and invest emotions until it hurts our heads or even cause anxiety.

As an INFP, I don’t like it. Dang, no one likes it! But as dominant feelers, is there anything we can do to beat this distressing habit?

In this video, let's talk about the 3 hacks I use to overcome INFP Overthinking!

I recently started telling myself to stop making up a bad future to worry about. I have the choice to imagine and scary, bad future or a happy, cheerful one. Might as well think of a beautiful one with baby goats, bumblebees, and sunshine.

As a mature INFP, I can say that this is extremely accurate! For feeling types, we sure do think a LOT.

Bruh i feel like my insides hate how true these are after relating it to my experiences 😂 i really do get motivated by problems rather than goals. And after chasing goals for so long, i think this video really just helps me accept that problems are the bane of my existence, in order to not leave me rotting as a shut in with lack of purpose 😢

Thanks, I've honestly had the worst time going after what I want, because I was so used to solving & healing the family growing up, it's like your brain just can't build, it needs a problem to fix to act. It's so hard to do things for yourself when you really couldn't afford to growing up or it really wasn't encouraged or rewarded

Yay tysm! Now I can *finally stop thinking about what happens after death, the mysteries of this wide and unknown reality, and infinite concepts that our finite minds cannot comprehend*

I am saving this as a guide for the rest of my life 😂

That explains my procrastination habits.

The fact that I was overthinking right before seeing this video in my timeline. Thanks for the upload!

1. Make decisions only when the deadline approaches. 0:56

2. gather external knowledge 2:38

3. consequences make infps move, more than their goals 3:34

My problem is that I am dreaming about writing a novel, but every time I want to start I find another topic that I am not very experienced in and need to gather external information, which leads to me always researching, but never actually writing and it is a bit frustrating. 😅

Hearing everything you say i relate to every single thing

An "Infp" male here. This is so true. Thank you very much for this tips. It's so very helpful to understand myself ❤️😇👌

[kathleenkayk]

Appreciate this video! The overthinking is so me, which means I must focus on actions that have a heavy penalty if not done. Rather than procrastinating, visualizing and working on self improvement, break the inertia.

[simontailor]

I’m feeling this channel! Keep it up. Good stuff.

[loocydity]

A lot of jobs require people that can work under pressure but as an INFP, I only work well under pressure😂

[ostcentre]

picturing the consequences actually gives me anxiety and panick attacks too sometimes.

[hoaly]

Thank you. The video does help a lot for a fellow INFP. “Consequences make them move more than goal”. Preachhh!

[MrHimadri]
