Do you overthink?

[Debashis]

Are you someone who overthinks a lot? How do you feel it impacts you? Are you looking for ways to get rid of it or not yet?

Personally, I'm someone who doesn't overthink at all. I'm always open to whatever outcome the future has, positive or negative, I'm gonna accept it and act accordingly. I just keep doing what needs to be done and see if it works out. I don't keep thinking about the same thing all the time. There's a childlike belief I have on things. Like when a kid prepares for an exam and after writing it, he believes that he will pass with flying colors. The same kind of belief I hold within me. 😊

Often times. I have days where I don't think anything because I don't care but I have moments I over think almost everything. Mostly when things are out of my comfort zone and my comfort zone is small. 🤣

not all the time....

All the time, it's practically a reflex action.

The hard part is that it is deeply impactful because it leads to a lot of analysis-paralysis, and getting stuck firmly in the overthinking rather than the doing. If I could tone down the overthinking I'd have taken over the world by now.

I overthink a little here and there about certain things, but not to the point where it drives me crazy. I used to overthink about nearly everything when I was younger, so much so that I had to be put on anti-anxiety medication to calm my overthinking down.

only when I am trying to go to sleep

I know that feeling. Usually, I go to sleep rather quickly, but sometimes my mind won't shut itself up and I continue to think about life and the many aspects it pertains.

yup... sometimes I cant sleep for days, the more tired I get the less sleep I get

I sometimes overthink and over analyze things more than I should. I have learned that some things are better off taken with a grain of salt.

 

[Shortie]

Unfortunately, I am someone that overthinks more than I should do and that never helps me with my anxiety at all.

I often find myself worrying about things before they even need to be worried about as well and my other half always tells me to stop worrying as much as I do.

No! Yes- gah.

Sometimes.

Hyperfixation gets me worse I would say.

 

[Reverie]

I definitely over think everything. I think of all the possibilities and then think about what could occur, what could cause those things to happen. How could I fix those things or if it is survivable.

I do too, especially when it comes to friend fallouts i get the “woulda, coulda, shoulda” rumination which i recognise is unhealthy.

Ofc, you retro reminiscer

I over-analyse everything which very much helps me in my programming job. But this leads to me excessively clarifying what others are trying to say to me as all the possibilities run through my head 🤣 I was once accused of trolling for this bery reason 😿
