Planning A Wedding? Here's What Might Stress You Out, Based On Your MBTI Type

You Make A Good "Middle"

Whether you're in a party of two or 200, you feel energized and recharged by spending time with other people. That makes you a great “middle” at the dinner table (reference: Curb Your Enthusiasm Bad Middling episode) as you love to engage in conversation, bring everyone into the mix, and get the party going.

You Heart Social Media

You're not afraid to put yourself out there, IRL and on social. You easily express your emotions and share your thoughts without hesitation. You may be an over-sharer, but that's what people love about you – you don't hold back.

Group Activities > Than Solo Activities For You

Team sports and group trips are more your speed, rather than running or traveling solo.

You're Chatty

You're comfortable talking to strangers and striking up a conversation on the train, plane, or anywhere in public. You also love to chit-chat on the phone to your long-distance friends. You seek out social situations of any form.

You Have A Big Circle Of Friends

People are drawn to your energy. You have a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, and enjoy meeting new people and expanding your social network.

You Shine On Stage

Public speaking is no problem for you, whether at a podium, presentation at work, or singing karaoke at a bar. You feel comfortable and confident, and actually enjoy the chance to share your ideas (or pipes) with the group.

You're Bored By Solitude

Extended periods of alone time can make you feel restless or bored. You might end of calling friends or heading outdoors to be around people, your source of good vibes.

You Love Crowds

Whereas an introvert might feel drained, you thrive in big crowds where there's lots of action and interaction.

You Adapt Easily To Awkward Or Unfamiliar Social Settings

You make a good first impression – you're friendly, warm, and social and can easily adapt to different social scenarios. You easily connect with others.

You're Spontaneous

You make decisions quickly and often go full-speed-ahead on them, whether it's booking a last-minute trip or hosting a last-minute girl hang. It's what drives you and keeps you feeling alive and invigorated.

Create a schedule and a routine for decluttering, with a regular timeslot.

INFJ

Try creating a minimalist environment, with items stored away out of sight, to reduce distractions and allow you to focus on what’s important in life. Create your own system for storage; it needs to make sense to you but doesn’t necessarily have to work for other people. Find ways to store items in an environmentally friendly way.

INTJ

You may want to create a grand plan for decluttering but remember that you can start small if you need to. However you do decide to organize things, periodically review this to ensure that this still works for you. Create a schedule for this, including a regular declutter.

ISTP

You may become bored or demotivated if you spend too long tidying, so declutter in short bursts — short, intensive sessions will probably work better for you than long periods. Set a calendar alert or other reminder so that you don’t forget. Invest in storage solutions that are practical and give you quick access to items, but that are adaptable, perhaps modular, in case you want to change things.

ISFP

Declutter in a way that works for you. Think about how important items are to you, how you feel about them, and keep the ones that matter; get rid of the ones that don’t. Set a reminder so that you don’t forget to tidy and declutter, but try not to make it into a chore, else you might not get round to it. Perhaps try to make it into a game?

INFP

There will be some items that you want to keep, come what may; decide on these and be prepared to get rid of others. Having a fixed routine for decluttering may not work for you, but typing it into another event, such as a friend coming to stay, may help to motivate you. Try using a journal or planner to organize tasks and your reflections, or taking before and after photos to remind you how much you’ve done.

INTP

You may not always see the clutter around you, so try looking at your house or apartment through someone else’s eyes. Ask a friend, or step back and think what it would be like if you had seen it for the first time. Then approach decluttering as a problem to be solved, work out an efficient way to do it – and then don’t forget to carry through and actually tidy up.

ESTP

ENFP

Decluttering doesn’t have to be dull. Involve friends, or develop different, aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly ways to store items. Be a trendsetter!

ENTP

Set yourself a challenge; find inventive and unconventional ways to declutter and stay organized. Use apps or other technology to help. And if you don’t think your home is untidy or cluttered, then ask a friend for their honest opinion – you may find that it is.

ESTJ

You probably like organizing things, so decluttering may be second nature to you. Create a schedule, set aside a regular time, and use a checklist to make sure you don’t miss anything out. If you are helping a friend to declutter, remember that they are in charge, not you, and that some things may have more sentimental value for them than you realise.

ESFJ

Involve family or friends in tidying and decluttering to make it a social activity. But before you start, make a list of those items that have a sentimental value for you, so that these are not thrown out by accident. Put in place a routine to keep your home tidy and organized.

ENFJ

It’s likely that things need to feel right for you. When you are decluttering, consider how items fit with the environment that you are aiming for. This may take longer, but you are more likely to be happy with the result. If you have not sufficiently decluttered your environment, take a second pass; remember that by donating items, you can give them a second life.

ENTJ

Take a moment before you start to decide on your overall goals and plan. Why are you decluttering? Are there specific reasons or objectives? How much do you need to declutter by? Think also about how this decluttering session fits with any long-term goals you have. Then create your plan and execute it.

Venice, Italy

Bali, Indonesia

Once an idyllic paradise, Bali now suffers from traffic congestion, environmental degradation, and overcrowded beaches. The island’s resources are strained under the weight of mass tourism, but there are efforts underway to promote sustainability like putting a moratorium on new hotels.

Machu Picchu, Peru

Overtourism has led to erosion and damage to this ancient Incan citadel. A quota system and mandatory guides are helping preserve this popular South American destination.

Tulum, Mexico

Once a tranquil paradise known for its pristine beaches, ancient Mayan ruins, and eco-chic vibe, Tulum has become a cautionary tale of overtourism. The surge in popularity, fueled by Instagram-worthy scenery, has brought overcrowding, environmental strain, and rising costs. The Guardianreported that locals are being pushed out by developers and despite the thinking that tourism helps local communities, poverty nearly doubled between 2015 and 2020. Local ecosystems, including fragile mangroves and coral reefs, are threatened by unchecked construction and pollution too. The local ruins have implemented stricter rules like no food or drink to limit trash and environmental impact from tourists.

Santorini, Greece

Instagram fame has turned this once-serene island into a tourist hotspot. Narrow streets are perpetually clogged, and locals are struggling with soaring costs of living due to tourism demand. The government has since capped the number of daily cruise ship visitors to keep overtourism at bay.

Cinque Terre, Italy

Known for its colorful cliffside villages and breathtaking coastal views, these once-quiet fishing towns now see millions of visitors annually, way more than they can handle. To combat issues like congestion and cruise ships, local authorities have introduced visitor caps and encourage sustainable travel to protect Cinque Terre’s charm.

Reykjavík, Iceland

Is there anyone not going to Iceland these days? A small country with breathtaking landscapes, Iceland has been overwhelmed by tourists flocking to Instagram-famous sites like the Blue Lagoon and Diamond Beach. It's best to travel during the off season (November to April) and travel to lesser known spots like the Sturlungalaug hot spring.

Maya Bay, Thailand (Phi Phi Islands)

This iconic beach, popularized by the DiCaprio film The Beach, suffered ecological devastation from hordes of visitors and anchored boats. Coral reefs were destroyed, and the beach was closed for years to allow recovery. It has since reopened after a huge revitalization project, but they have introduced visitor caps.

Kyoto, Japan

Traditionally quiet streets of this ancient capital city now teem with tourists during peak season. An increase in litter from tourists has required the city to install more trash bins to handle the crowds, and peaceful geishas are often chased down for photos. To mitigate the problem, Kyoto is considering running special buses to popular sites to reduce overcrowding, and temples and shrines are encouraging visitors to come early in the morning.

Mount Everest, Nepal

The ultimate challenge for adventurers, Mount Everest has experienced overcrowding on the slopes and at base camps, leading to dangerous conditions, with litter and human waste piling up on the mountain. Permits are now harder to get, and stricter regulations for climbers are being enforced.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

The Game of Thrones effect brought an influx of fans to this medieval city. Overcrowded streets and cruise ship arrivals have made it difficult to appreciate its beauty. The local government is taking steps to limit daily visitors and impose stricter cruise ship regulations.

Lisbon, Portugal

Short-term rentals dominate the housing market now, thanks to affordable flights and the digital nomad craze. This has led to skyrocketing rents and displaced locals. Historic neighborhoods are inundated with tourists, making them less charming too. Everything from public transport to waste management struggles to keep pace with the influx. I went in December and it still felt a bit like Disneyland. Douro Valley and Madeira might be more favorable destinations any time of year.
