"If I have to do something in the evening, I cant do anything all day because I have to get in the mindset." Bruh. Speaking my SOUL.

What makes me stressed:
• when I feel like I'm not in control
• when I don't know what to do
• when I forgot something
• when something goes wrong
• when I'm late or overslept
• when I don't understand what's happening

School: You need to give a presentation in 6 months
Me: Mini-heart attack followed by gradual stress-buildup for the next 6 months

Things that stress me out as an INFJ:
- last minute changes/plans
- having to make important decisions quickly and “go with my gut” (this made learning to drive very stressful)
- my plans not going as I wanted them to go
- other people not being self-aware
- so many people not really understanding me or why I do the things I do
- social pressure to do and like so many trivial things

--THINGS THAT STRESS ME OUT--
-not having time to myself
-having too much to do, procrastinating it, and then stressing it cause i put it off
-people touching my stuff or telling me to change something (ex. clean my not messy room, eat healthy)
-not having time to mentally prepare myself and plan out all the natural outcomes
-when people who are fake and are mean to me are all crowded into the same place at the same time

[Mari-hbdo]

what stresses me out as an INFJ:
- too much information to be handled at once
- lots of people or work at the same time
-crowds and tight spaces.
- fake people and unnecessary drama
- people who invite you to things at the last minute
- wasting time when I could be doing something productive
- being on the spotlight

EDIT: Thank you for the like, senpai

Classic INFJ: planning next year's health & fitness routine while eating ice cream out of the bucket.

[michellecaulder]

It's like when someone wants to hang out last minute. I already have "nothing" planned out - I just can't "do" something else. I've been preparing for doing nothing all day! Too much to think about right now! 😆

[mjoymusic]

I literally zoned out the entire time he was talking about being in the present moment. Could I be any more INFJ?

[snipergaming]

Another significant cause of overwhelm is emotional sensitivity. INFJs absorb emotions like a sponge, and although this is a positive thing when dealing with positive emotions, it can be a big cause of stress and a negative thing when in the wrong environments or surrounded by the wrong people who don't understand you or your needs. INFJs are hyper attuned to people and their environments, which can be a double edged sword sometimes.

INFJ: What If I need a lamp in the future? What if I can't afford it? Will there be any lamps out there I like then?

[anniehawsawi]

The part about how having plans for the evening will ruin the whole day is so true for me 😞

[AstroEssexGirl]

INFJs: present stress = crying = sitting doing nothing = More Present Stress = crying = asking the universe to help = sitting doing nothing...

This is my life

INFJ 🙋🏽‍♀️
Things that stress me out...
- Plans changing last minute
- My routine being interrupted
- I can only focus on/do one “event” a day or I get burnt out... go to work after an interview? No way!

[purpura]

i hate when i have a plan for my day and then someone gives me an extra task. also, if i decide to stay home, even a prince charming couldnt make me leave my house. on the other hand, i dont mind when people cancel meetings he he :D

[manager-nim]

My estp friend told me there's always some annoying shit to deal with on a daily basis in his life but he finds it better than having a quiet calm routine life. I was at a loss for words

[mckennafeist]

The real world: "I don't care what you're planning"

Infj: "and I took offense to that."

[markoselendic]

I feel like this is the reason why I feel so anxious while learning to drive. You have to think about 10 things simultaneously and I've always prefered to think about and do one thing at a time.
