Anyone else is overthinking here?

I am not sure, whether its an issue for me or not. I start to realize that I am overthinking whether its positive or negative. I start to think to the core and get back to the stage where I started. Is it due to over obsession towards something? This actually both helps and disturbs me..

Just had to see this meme in social media, I have so much related to this, Only if this were a job.

If this is something to worry about, please share what would you do in such times to overcome.

I am also overthinking over starting a forum.

Just a tip, not sure if it work for you too. This is what I have noticed, when i sleep on time around 11-12pm and sleep for atleast 7-8 hours, for some reasons my mind is clear af. Like damm the difference just after doing it once is so noticeable but its on the second day I end up sleeping late lmao. Something you can try might help GL m8

I also have a vivid imagination that tends to overthink too

I've spent more time overthinking than working in my life.

now you just wait and see this thread getting filled up with replies that means 'me too!'

Its important to find the balance between thinking and doing, theory vs practice, strategy vs execution and so on.


They are both equally important, but you get results only from the doing part,

is minimizing risk and mistakes to the absolute minimum is actually worth your time and energy, when in reality new problems that needs to be solved will pop?

I don't want to sound judgemental especially as an overthinker myself (even have a POD shirt that says "hang on - let me overthink this")

Balance is the key, think about what to do next, not about what you could do next.

An overthinker here.
Dont know whether youre looking for advise or not but if you dont mind, ill share.

Everything both has its bad and its good.

You need to know that every single thing in this world has the opposite of it.
It is the opposite of the same thing (If you do some training to develop critical observations, you will notice this)

With this, you will see that things are just is and not good or bad. Its how you perceived them.

For my situation as an overthinker, i have developed that we have a way of seeing things quite differently. Example of this is when i just write randomly and share them in some forums (after a lot of overthinking whether to post or not). Some of them regarded me as different and even some of them quoted me asking me to express my take on some different topic. Regardless of what topics, most people are quite intrigued of how I think.
Overthinking can easily be shifted to critical thinking (the good in the bad). The gap is so freaking close between these two. For everything we believe to be bad, theres some good to it (my position from overthinker to critical thinker and i expressed it in forms of writings).
After understanding that im an overthinker, i tried to express some and use it to my own good.

Safe to say that -
Critical thinker is when you think and do.
Over thinker for me is when you only think and never do (you could develop some sort of anxiety from this. I have experienced this)

If what you struggle is overthinking, then what you need to do is to take action.
If you struggle with hyperactive action, then the cure is to think.
(see the opposites? it follows one another)

Overthinking will stop you from a lot of things in this world.
Hope you find this long random rant beneficial.
Be safe!

Still waiting brain interface that can make everthinj I think into reality in pc quickly..
My brain keep thinking up new project, but not enough time for it lol.

Every time I catch myself overthinking I know it's time to just take action.

I think im gonna die in my 25 because overthinking and stressing 24/7...

Some remedies you can consider:

Reduce your alone time, try to be with the people whether offline or online. Alone mind overthink as always

Don't talk/discuss about the topic which you overthink even someone take that topic, try to change it

If you have time then watch movies, play games and even travel to nature rich locations.

Final Note: overthinking won't help solve the problem, try to face the problem so you will get solution. If something bad about to happen tomorrow, be happy today and face that tomorrow, happy mind will find a solution (for who believe, god will help one who happy to face the forthcoming).

Me too, but sometimes you just have to do it with thinking.

Last night I randomly stumbled across a spreadsheet I created with Reddit accounts from 8 years ago that I created but never used. Then I kept searching deeper, and found dozens of notepads with Reddit accounts, Subreddits, Methods, and Strategies that I got set up, but never implemented because I was overthinking it. What if it gets too saturated? What if I get banned too fast? What if it doesn't work at all? I spend 8 months of the year planning and setting things up and overthinking, and only 4 months of the year actually trying to implement things. I have to just do it!

Sleep at 11 pm is a dream for me. Problem is, i couldnt sleep on time, should be because of over thinking I guess.

Come'on bro. You have lots more to see in upcoming years.. It will bring you both unlimited happiness and fearful situations. But do not worry.. Nature will make you prepared to face that.. If you wish, you can talk to me whenever you feel down or depressed. I hope I can support you.

Instead of overthinking, wrap your problem up in a ball, shrink it, and place it in the front of your mind, and start on the first thing connected with it right after. You'll find shrinking the situation puts it automatically to the back of your mind as you start on the action task. A cool trick I learned from Richard Bandler. It works for me every time now, till I forget to use it, then I sometimes find myself falling into the trap too.
