completely torn between INFJ and INFP

CAN’T DECIDE

I’ve made some other posts that were probably too wordy, but I’m so torn between INFJ and INFP. I was typed as INFJ for a long time, starting at like 13/14. I’m 22 now and think I could be INFP, but I’m not at all sure lmao. For the record, I get INFP on function tests.

Emotions/values/identity: Definitely a mix of group values and my own values. Once a value becomes internalized, I hold to it pretty strongly. Authenticity, integrity, and kindness are some of my values. I’m often lost in my head, pondering who I am and how I relate to the world. Processing my emotions takes awhile, and I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve. I’m prone to oversharing at times in an attempt o deepen a conversation. If a close value is challenged, it’s sometimes easier to walk away or distance myself than to directly confront the person. The appearance that I’m violating my own morals/hurting someone (even if that wasn’t my intention) is enough to make me cry. Also, I tend to resonate strongly with characters sometimes, and there’s something so special about seeing an element of yourself, no matter how small, in someone else.

Intuition/creativity: my creative process definitely feels more Ni than Ne, but I’m also a person with many ideas and hobbies. I love brainstorming and bouncing ideas off of other people. In dance, once I commit to an idea, I’m known for having a very strong vision of what I want the product to look like. In conversation, I tend to either go off on tangents or don’t want to change topics when everyone else does

Stress: Severe over analysis, cannot make a decision. Constantly sorting through past memories and feelings to find an answer. OCD takes over and I become critical, withdrawn, and controlling. I become pretty paranoid and anxious.

Weaknesses: I am not grounded in reality at all lmfao. As mentioned, I can have some control issues when I get really attached to something. I have tendencies to bring conversations back to myself and have been accused of being selfish or self-centered
