stop overthinking things

Today I did not overthink about my neighbors talking about me. I reminded myself that other people are worried about their life. Worried about what they’re going to eat for dinner…etc. So I realize how freeing it is to just live and do whatever I want without irrationally worrying/creating that my neighbors are talking/monitoring me.I felt anxious free to able to just simply live my life. I reminded myself that they are not talking about you, monitoring you…etc. Its the anxiety thats creating this!!! Yay!!!

How do I stop overthinking everything if it makes me feel like not doing anything else except for thinking?

“Have you ever wished you could stop thinking – either temporarily or permanently? By that, I mean the relentless flow of words and images and memories and fears and worries. Just stopping them cold in their tracks. I know this will probably come off as an ironic or perhaps absurd thing to try and talk about. Is there even a way to do so?”

But I hit an important break through today. I can’t even attempt to think about how the people in my life are going to act or react to me. They are people and just as dynamic as my daily struggles, and now that I have realised that I am much more comfortable.

Having to stop over-thinking is hard and I may have to live with it for the rest of my life. I am glad I over-think sometimes. It shows that I have perspective on many things and I will be very aware of the consequences of my actions, etc etc. Even though it can be super frustrating at times, it is also very helpful and it is what makes you, you.

I tend to overthink things to the point of creating completely outrageous and farfetched outcomes. Many of the results will never be, or have exaggerated consequences. Knowing this should make me more realistic but it doesn’t. I’m surprised I do not have an ulcer yet.

i believe that one of my downfalls is being an overthinker and overanalyzer. i believe i have too much free time on my hands that i spend thinking…about pointless things. i overthink peoples’ actions and reactions to me, and i guess that leads me to my paranoia.

This is something that i’ve been trying to work on on and off…but i want it to end once and for all.

I tend to overthink things alot and I know its not good to do

Yes I totally over think things.But I’m not going to think as much anymore…...................................about things that I can’t fix.

such a relief!
