Is Your INFP Intuition Lying To You?

About this episode

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.


Drop a comment: What's your biggest overthinking moment? Let's talk about it.
