Being an over thinker is exhausting. Even when you try to sit back and free your mind of draining choices, you find yourself back at it a minute later. You can never be 100 percent satisfied or content with anything you do in life. People might tell you to chill and relax a lot, but you don't really know the meanings of those words.
1. Relationships
For over thinkers, having any type of relationship with a loved one might be a sugarcoated mind trap. Single or taken, every decision you make about your significant other or crush leaves you in a world of wonder and tag-along questions. "What if?" "Am I making the right choice?" You're always thinking about things in the long run and what will happen next. You might find yourself having a hard time living in the moment. As an over thinker you never stop contemplating over a conflict or problem, that is if you haven’t already created one for yourself.
2. Clothes
You find yourself staring at your overloaded closet for 25 minutes straight. This cardigan makes you look fairly pleasant, but wait, it might rain so maybe you should wear this hoodie. But what about your shoes? Converse or Uggs? Maybe a scarf? You have about 12 looks that range from all black badass to a sweet and innocent sundress. The amount of choices you have is overwhelming, but you don't really consider half of them choices because you never wear half of your closet. In the end, you just end up wearing a lame t-shirt that you wear twice a week already and a pair of your old daily kicks. You find yourself somewhat appealing and stumble your way out the door because now you're late.
3. Posting pictures
Living in the candid, perfect-picture world we live in today, it's not exactly easy posting a selfie or a pic of you and your significant other. After you've spent 13 hours taking the perfect pic where you find yourself looking moderately attractive, you have to come up with a cheesy clever caption. But wait it's not over yet. Do you want to edit the picture? Oooooh there's like 23 filters to pick from and now you have to spend even more time picking one of these. After you've posted what you feel like is a masterpiece, after all of the time you've put into it, it only gets three likes after 10 minutes?! Now you begin to wonder what you did wrong with the piece of garbage you apparently just posted.
4. Doing your hair/ makeup
5. Shopping
This one is huge for any over thinker. You find yourself spending two hours in your favorite retail store and right before you check out you think, "Do I really need all of this?" You might walk out empty handed and have wasted two hours of your life, but at least you saved money? Even a simple grocery store run turns into you walking down every aisle picking something up you might need in two weeks. Tip- If you're an over thinker, go shopping by yourself. I repeat, do not drag your friends/family members with you through this experience with you and your indecisive brain.
6. Ordering food at a restaurant
