Every situation you've ever encountered has been made a billion times more difficult because of your need to over analyze. Making a decision? Forget about it. It isn't happening. You are terrible at letting things go. Everything tends to stay with you. You go over every detail of every situation and you come up with some irrational thought that makes you overthink the situation even more. If you could, you'd get a degree in overthinking. If you had a dollar for every time you have overthought anything, you'd be a gazillionare. The words "sorry" and "thank you" come out of your mouth way too often, to the point where people begin to wonder if you're okay. You apologize for literally every single thing that you do and anything you haven't done. Literally, you'll apologize for saying "hi" or for not saying anything at all. Overthinking makes you go insane! Insane people, insane! There is no talking you out of the irrational thoughts that your oh-so-creative mind comes up with. You can tell yourself that you're being stupid or dumb, but that'll only get you overthinking even more. For those of you lucky duckies out there who don't overthink, here are a few examples of what it's like to be an over thinker:
1. Your brain doesn't stop, even for a second. It just keeps going and going and going ... and going.
This is an accurate depiction of a brain that over thinks. Not even joking.
2. We apologize so often that sometimes "sorry" will just slip out, even when we don't mean for it to.
Did I mention I was sorry?
3. Oh, your tired? You wanna sleep? Forget about it. Going to sleep is probably the most difficult thing for us to do. Our brains never shut off.
4. Deleting and rewriting texts, emails, or statuses is a highly common practice amongst us people.
Probably shouldn't say that, or that, or that, or that either. You know what, maybe I shouldn't say anything at all.
5. Living in the moment? Sorry, never heard of it.
All you wanna do is have a good time, but your brain just won't allow it.
6. Letting things go? That ain't happening.
Brain: "Remember that time you did that stupid thing in that awkward situation? Yeah, so do I."
So, basically, if you're not an over thinker, then your life is probably super easy going and simple. Unlike us over thinkers, you're able to go out, "do your thang" and have a good time. I'm not saying that we don't know how to enjoy ourselves, I'm just saying it takes a while to evaluate and analyze every single situation before we can go ahead and have a grand ol' time.
