Do INFPs read too much into things?

Geek Psychology: Play Life Better

Ever feel like you know what someone's thinking—only to find out you were completely wrong? If you're an INFP (or any intuitive type), you've probably experienced this: the spiral of overthinking, the projections, the assumptions that lead to conflict.

In this video, I break down why INFPs (and similar types) tend to over-read situations, using cognitive functions (Fi, Ne, Si) to explain the psychology behind it. I also share a personal story about how miscalibration nearly ruined a close friendship—and the one shift that changed everything.

What you'll learn:

• Why your intuition can betray you (and when to trust it)

• The "miscalibration trap" that leads to wild assumptions

• How this natural language tendency messes with communication

• The one question that stops overthinking in its tracks

• Why assuming positive intent will change your relationships

If you've ever spiraled into "what did they really mean?"—this one's for you.
