Geek Psychology: Play Life Better
Matt Sherman

2 weeks ago

I help geeks and gamers to play life better. As an INFP, I've spent a lot of time trying to understand myself, forcing myself outside of my comfort zone, finding my purpose in life, gaining self-confidence, and learning how to have better relationships. Personality type is one of the main models I use to help clients regain control over their lives, but I also tend to use Neuro-Linguistic Programming and hypnosis as well. Stay awhile and listen!

Do INFPs read too much into things?

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.
