Be careful of the over-dramatization.
Small mistakes can take enormous proportions in the INFP’s eyes.
Irrational pessimistic thoughts can be very damaging.

Here is an example:
INFP starts a new job in a marketing business. His first project doesn’t go as planned.
Thought 1: Me
It’s my fault, I am bad at this. In fact, I should not have accepted this job. I am bad at this. I am not – or – enough. I am too -.
Thought 2: Always
There’s no way I can do it, now or later, it’s just not for me. I will fail inevitably.
Thought 3: Everywhere
I am not – or – enough and I am too -. And it’s not only wrong for my job, it’s always bad for my everyday life. I fail in every aspect of my life.

When you feel overwhelmed, when you feel like nothing is working, take a step back.
Take a deep breath.
Don’t get lost in negative thinking. This is not the truth. A mistake is just a mistake, it doesn’t define you. Stay positive, stay in control of your thoughts.
