Sometimes, despite your best efforts to keep yourself chill for the holidays, at work, family reunions, etc., you can feel yourself going down that slippery slope of being totally stressed out. One of the ways you know you’re headed in that direction is when you start “overdoing” your personality type. And every type has its own “special” way of doing that! Find yours below, and watch for those signs…
ISTJ and ISFJ: Obsessing about details
INTJ and INFJ: Over-swirling about connections and possibilities
ISTP and INTP: Over-focusing on finding logical conclusions
ISFP and INFP: Over-analyzing how you’re feeling
ESTP and ESFP: Being obsessively active
ENFP and ENTP: Bouncing from one possibility to another to another
ESTJ and ENTJ: Overly-controlling situations and people
ESFJ and ENFJ: Over-focusing on creating harmony and pleasing others
Often just recognizing that you’re overdoing it is enough to get you off of that slippery slope!

INTP here,
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly what I have done. I even went so far as to send Xmas bashing historical truths to all my friends and loved ones. So sick of all the lies, I hate feeling put upon by people who allow themselves to be manipulated by a greed driven fake holiday that has nothing to do with the true expression of love. I dont feel the love at xmas time, I feel pressure and a sense of doom that I just dont feel at any other time. And Im not alone, everyone knows that suicide and domestic violence skyrocket over the holidays. Its not the most wonderful time, it may very well be the most damaging.
