Overthinking is a big problem for both INFJ personality types and INFP personality types. Overthinking is tied to INFJs and INFPs struggling overall with creativity, feeling connected to their intuition, and life in general. So many INFJs and INFPs ask: “I overthink everything. Why can’t I stop?” Overthinking for INFJs and INFPs manifests differently, but with either type, it tends to show up around the same areas in life-specifically in writing and creativity, and in relationships and interpersonal interactions. In all of these areas, overthinking tends to manifest as decision anxiety. For INFP personality types, overthinking shows up as the feeling of having too many ideas and not knowing how to choose between them all. The underlying fear is that they will “choose wrong,” and they feel that if they make the wrong choice, they will ruin the creative project, or the relationship. INFJ personality types experience decision anxiety around following their intuition over using logic and/pr proven formulas. The underlying fear is that they will end up with a creative “mess” or that they will make a “mess” of their life. So many INFJs and INFPs feel stuck in life and held back by mental and emotional blocks that they can’t seem to get past, and this is mostly due to overthinking. If an INFJ personality type or an INFP personality type can learn to get out of their head and move into their intuition, the struggle of INFJ overthinking and INFP overthinking falls away and they can finally move forward and stop self-sabotaging.
