Did you mean:
_ME EVERY WAKING MOMENT OF MY LIFE??? ESPECIALLY DURING THE ODD HOURS OF THE NIGHT??_

[scarlettq]

overthinking always make me so confused even for the smallest things

[shaneconlin]

Great...now every time I experience one of these I’m going to realize I’m overthinking and overthink the overthought situation more!

This video is one of the best BuzzFeed has ever made. I'd always been lost about my personality - that my personalities are scattered all over the place. Now I know it all leads back to overthinking. Literally every single struggle in this video is real and relatable.

[wallp]

I always think that people are secretly talking about me and judging me, like I'm the center of the universe.

Loved this video. Thanks! One tip for over thinkers: just pick. Make a choice cause if you deliberate and deliberate endlessly in your head, eventually nothing will ever get done.

There's a certain serenity in letting things fall in to place and taking a reactive approach instead of overanalyzing and trying to control the situation by planning for every possible outcome. I think that's where overthinking stems from. You want the ability to control, but you can't. Life is not designed solely for your whims.

But trust me, there is a freedom in just doing it. Don't self edit, just go. Make a move, whatever move it is. And roll with it.

I am a over thinker myself and I can relate so much. Who relates?

[Surelychan]

I find that one major perk of overthinking is that you're extra considerate of those around you, bc you tend to think from their perspective as well.

Nothing’s worse than overthinking schoolwork.

I didn’t even know I was an “over thinker” but it became pretty obvious when I realised all of the things listed in this video are things I do on a daily basis

[annag]

I'm 100% an overthinker and I hate it because it helps your insecurities :(

[trintrin]

I hate overthinking because it puts me down every time. I want it to go away so I can chill out and stay in a positive mood.

[dashadavydova]

I’m such an over thinker! I can literally convince myself that the entire world hates me, I have to triple check before doing anything because I’m afraid I’ll mess up, I’ve even gotten yelled at before because I asked over and over if I’m doing something right. I get worried when my friends hang out without me because I’m certain they are gossiping about me. I can’t sleep because I just make up conversations I want to have with people and plan exactly how they’re gonna go

[Hazelcut]

The hardest thing is not overthinking, it's focus

[HAdams-bwbq]

I'm an overthinking person and it's horrible. I *always* overthink. Like *everything* I've done, questioning past conversation, things I did and worry about everything, like literally *everything* ... Being an overthinking person is *hell.*

[kathryndrew]

Some people think that just because they are perfectionists or overthink some things, they have OCD. Unless you have a diagnosis from an actual doctor, don't say that you have OCD. As someone who does have OCD, it makes me very angry that people treat this mental disorder like a joke.

[miimusicoverlord]

Didn’t know I was an over thinker but you learn something new every day, I’m definitely an over thinker

[parkereve]

The worst thing is being called down to the office and thinking of every swear or even mildly wrong thing you've done

"Oh god I threw my apple in the recycling bin"
And you get down and it's just "you left you sweater here"

[Microfoot]

I’ll add one: Being unable to accept any praise or positive attention either because you think the person doesn’t actually mean it or because you can think of several different reasons why you don’t actually deserve it. As an overthinker it’s been virtually impossible to convince myself anyone has ever been interested in me. Usually I just think it’s some sort of prank and the moment I reciprocate they’ll just laugh in my face. Literally had someone confess that they loved me and I still had myself convinced that I was misreading signals.

[BriarCG]

I always think my friends hate me when in reality they're busy, won't respond and then I'll be freaking out and message ALL MY OTHER FRIENDS to ask if they're upset with me...
