I Overthink

Here's one thing I'd like to share about myself.

I overthink. All the time.

You see, I am analytic. Wherever I go, I analyse people. I analyse situations. I analyse my surroundings. Then, I start to overthink over the smallest things possible. Once that happens, those small things become a huge matter.

You see, when I overthink, I won't stop. My mind gets swirled up with so many thoughts that don't even link to one another. I feel burdened by my own thoughts, can you believe it?

Overthinking takes place at the most unexpected times. I can be talking and laughing at one moment but at the next, I'll be really quiet. Overthinking distracts me. Overthinking takes up the space in my mind. Overthinking leads me nowhere.

But why can't I stop?

Because of this, I tend to not be able to do anything.

I mean, how can you do anything when your mind is filled up with thoughts that lead to you being paranoid about so many things? How can you do anything when you aren't even able to control your own mind in the first place? How can you do anything when your thoughts are so...twisted?

I honestly don't know whether I'm making any sense right now. I'm not usually good with words but I'll just end it here.

By the way, to those who have commented on my previous blog posts or my stories and to those who have PM-ed me but have yet to receive a reply, just know that I'm sincerely sorry for not replying even though I've read what you have to say. Also, to those who are waiting for my updates, I'm sorry too.

I'm trying. Really, I am.

I'm just afraid that one day, I'll stop.

Great, I'm overthinking again.

I feel you so much, I'm probably as bad as you with the overthinking, about everything. I don't know. Sometimes overthinking may be a good thing but only to an extent. You don't want the smallest of problems distract you and make you go overboard; making you tumble into the depths where you can't save yourself. Just if this helps, remind yourself what the topic of the situation is. Take a deep breath. :3

I'm exactly the same. I always overthink and now that I'm in a new school, I keep analyzing the actions of my fellow schoolmates. Therefore, there are times where I will think that they don't like me or something. But I'm getting better right now. I'm starting to tell myself not to think so much and just let it be

I get what you're saying. I'm the same too actually. one moment I could be happy and laughing with my friends, cracking jokes. then the next, id be so quiet and numb that I barely say anything.

Just for what I heard the best to stop overthinking cause I have overthink a lot many times last year but I managed to stop to stop overthink is to just have happy thoughts and think that u are in the place u wanna be in
