Over-thinking/analyzing, reading in to things, worrying in general and worrying what other people think.. anyone else suffer with this stuff?

Really noticed lately that I do.. I mean I always have, but it just seems to have got worse. I'd love to stop or atleast control it but I find it really hard... is there any way?

Not even sure what the point of this thread is to be honest.. and I'm terrified about what you're all going to think of me for making it. :p :D
 
As the Hindus say - Manas, mind, the organ that thinks and deliberates.

Thinking about things is never positively productive. And it can makes simple things seem far worse and complex than they are.

I used it hate it when one of my exes said, "I've been thinking about things..." - it basically meant she had too much time on her hands and was inventing problems where there weren't any.
 
You are 'procrastinating' my boy; i.e; living out all the possible scenarios of actionable life options in your head, until you settle on the one that will have the worst possible outcome and so therefore, do not do it at all.
You do nothing except sit there feeling miserable with the thought that life is busy passing you by. Which, of course, it is.

Not a good thing to do. Go out there - live your life and remember what wise men say:

"Procrastination is like masturbation - you're the only one getting *** no partially starred swearies ***."

Yes, simply stop doing it. It really is as simple as that - you'll feel less self confident too.
 
I have the same thing.

Its a curse being intelligent, you think about every possible outcome!

Sometimes I wish I was thick as ****, and living in a council house with a chavved up bird.

To all those suffering from over analysis and a case of the mopes, there is always one question that you must ask in order to take the appropriate action:


... what would a dinosaur do?

Off topic I know but - why the italics?
 
There's nothing wrong with thinking a lot but if all your energy is spent worrying then that's destructive. Go and see your doctor to find out whether you can get some CBT sessions (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) with a psychologist. It's a very useful life skill which will teach you to challenge your negative thoughts and after a while you should be able to dismiss those thoughts without much effort.
