Fi: Social situations may cause the ISFP anxiety, especially where the ISFP feels as though they will be criticized, their values will be attacked, or someone will be disappointed/angry at them as they attempt to avoid conflict in their life. They will absorb any negative emotions directed towards them, taking them extremely personally. Being so in tune with their emotions means that they are very in touch with their feelings of anxiety; when these feelings arise, the ISFP experiences them extremely intensely and privately. The ISFP may feel unable to assert themselves in the outer world, feeling overwhelmed and helpless in their anxiety.
Se: They become extremely hypersensitive to any physical cues in their environment, surrounding people, etc. that they interpret negative meaning out of. They may become overwhelmed with sensory stimuli. In addition, to deal with their anxiety they may seek out practices such as drinking, partying, etc. to deal with their anxiety. They may also repress this function, and become unable to handle their problems in the moment (instead projecting towards future problems).
Ni:They will overanalyze everything in their life, often assuming negative things about how people view them/their own abilities and importance based on little to no evidence. They will extrapolate their current situations to long-term future situations. They generally look at things as absolute truths. They will project towards future anxieties, feeling overwhelmed especially by any problems that they cannot solve in the current situation.
Te:They may overuse this function, attempting to shut off their emotions and anxiety, and instead attempt to be outwardly logical, put together, and efficient. They will throw themselves into projects in an attempt to neglect their negative feelings.
