How do I stop overanalyzing people through MBTI?

I didn't know much about MBTI for a long time, other than the basic idea of introverts and extroverts. But around 4–5 months ago, I started looking into MBTI more, and it started to make a lot of sense to me when I thought about the people around me and myself. Then I realized that I was starting to take it a little too seriously.

I kept reading and learning more about it, but now I can't stop thinking about whether someone is an N type or an S type, etc. I find myself doing this all the time. It's not like I'm consciously trying to analyze everyone, but these thoughts just keep flowing through my head.

I know MBTI can give you some useful insights and can make sense of certain aspects of people's personalities. But I also know that it can't fully explain a person and that people are much more complex than a personality system like this. I keep telling myself that, but I still find myself thinking about MBTI all the time.

What do you guys think about this? Have any of you experienced something similar? And do you have any advice for me?
