18 Signs You're An Overthinker

[@BrainyDose]

Are you an overthinker? If so, what are some other challenges of being trapped in an overthinking mind? For tips on how to stop overthinking, check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4LYnqiKmqmAeZY

[@bhagyashreekeluskar1658]

Taking every thing personally or seriously. Also its difficult to take criticism lightly. Dont like to indulge in debates/arguments.

[@Showtunediva]

I can relate to most things described in this video.

[@mhp7304]

Anxiety and insomnia. It’s like my brain will not slow down. I worry about everything!

[@yogitalathwal4893]

I personally feel that I get judgements by everyone for my behaviour and I hate being judged

[@seanascala5683]

Thinking about my horrible life. My mom was not great. Told me age 12 that "Your kinda cute but will never be pretty." Horrible. I hate my past and cannot accept it at all.

[@Talkinglife]

I can't stop worrying. I often worry about things I have no control over. I constantly remind myself of mistakes. I relive embarrassing moments in my mind over and over. I often ask myself "what if..." questions

[@girikrishnan5532]

The 4th one I do always.i always think of my embarrassing situation.but what I do is I say that I forgive myself for that.then I forgets it.try that

[@sharonflonnory3078]

Yes

[@jeromykriege]

I do all that 😩

[@victory9015]

I blame me constantly. I worry lots of things where i have no controll over. If i want to start to start a business, i remind myself that i failed 4 previus businesses so if try new business i think i will fail again.

[@dursameenzehra6511]

That "what if" is with me too

"Hold on to thoughts that benefit you and let go of the thoughts holding you back" --Yes! Thanks for the reminder! Overthinking also leads to self doubt which can get you stuck in life. It's hard to deal with it sometimes but I know that when we're aware that we are overthinking, we can figure out a way to stop it:)

[@mabelidove6813]

A lot of us needed to watch this video. It's good they provided that advice at the end 💝 thank you for writing it down. Reading it while they said it, helped speak over my thoughts and take in that advice 😊

[@emilykalcher3415]

@@mabelidove6813 I tend to turn captions on to focus my mind. If only I could do that when people speak and ask me to remember something at work. I could then literally pause and rewind, get my task done then erase the video. I guess that's a classic response from an over-thinker. I am an HSP. I wonder how many people are Highly Sensitive and over-thinkers or whether you could be highly sensitive without being considered an over-thinker.

[@brainify2862]

Usually, when you are overthinking, writing in a piece of paper all your thoughts when you feel like your head is about to explode can help you to relieve it a bit. While reading the notes you put on the paper, your brain can, sometimes, notice that what you are overthinking is not that big as it was becoming. Our thoughts are also information and it's about how we organize our ideas.

[@earl342]

Yes you right

[@jackcarten2627]

And all the thinkings for ordering our thoughts has gone wasted

[@wan_da23]

Me : Wondering if i'm an overthinker 🤔 Also me : Watching the video and getting lost in my thoughts for a whole minute and rewatch some points. Okok i got it !

[@efilwv1635]

This describes me 100%. Unfortunately, because I’m on the extreme end of all 18 of these things, sometimes I binge drink alcohol in order to try and calm my mind down.

[@Druzier]

Same love!!! Same.

[@andremaximiano7170]

Overthinking is one of my toxic passions. Makes me feel safe and yet it fucks me over. I have identified myself with almost if not all every single point said on this video. At least I speak with my situation: my mind is very wired to think certain types of thoughts (usually negative ones). And not everything is negative. So what I am trying to do is to question some of my thoughts. And try to think about a valid positive reason why the thought might be just wrong. I also question myself why this train of thought happens: Why can't I be more positive and just live in the moment? I believe everyone can balance that out if you start to implement things you don't usually think about. And one thing said in the video a good way to counter all of this: focus on a task for a long period of time and train your focus.

[@winterkai12]

Being an overthinker is not always something negative, it allows one to anticipate things in advance and get prepared.

[@alexisdeterala2655]

I have almost all of this signs except on being organized , I'm really a messy person 😅

[@leamisigaro4233]

But can you identify whatis where? I know I can, I freak when ppl move my things

[@carolnabil7727]

I can't believe that EVERY item I'm already doing EXATLY!! I thought I was simple and not an overthinker!!

[@ginoalvarez4910]

Me too

[@murielbrown3013]

My take on this for me personally is that my overthinking is because of deep underlying fear and anxiety.

[@charisthomas3300]

Being present in the moment is the best cure for overthinking, trust me, I googled the hell out of it and binged on 3000 hours worth of videos about it😉

[@girikrishnan5532]

How do you do that?

[@charisthomas3300]

@@girikrishnan5532 for real I narrate my actions in my head, like it was hard at first but now I control my monkey mind. I wash my dishes by hand and tell a story in my head that describes my current actions, like "Charis is scrubbing a plate" etc.. sounds crazy I know. . I also go on meditation walks where I just narrate/ observe my surroundings, i.e. red car, barking dog, laughing child, mild breeze. It has really helped all my negative past ruminations and worrisome projections. I used to be on anti-anxiety medicine and I don't take anything now. I can regulate my emotions very well now. it is also important to train yourself to not take anybody else's actions personally, this helps you respond instead of be reactive.

[@shrekislove1391]

It's because overthinking brings some negative vibes, and it's kinda stupid and also annoying for non-overthinkers, like focus on the present and just think not OVERTHINK.

[@jalen4959]

[@afuaarhin8434]

When I overthink, I think about all the possible ways an issue or event could go and how the outcome could affect me. Once it actually happens I have already relived all the possible outcome hence not surprised much

Overthink comments to me or about me. Never let things go when someone has hurt me. Always have second thoughts about anything I may make public on social media.

[@chaycehayes2851]

Just sick of overthinking, I can’t live with it. It’s a benefit and a curse, when you’re constantly thinking about everything you realize that you’re alone. I’ve tried to talk to people about it but they don’t understand at all or just ignore me. It’s hard to explain to people that I just think so much more and I’m always thinking about different things. And even when I wanna talk to someone I end up talking to myself instead

[@deathbreach3448]

I’ll overthink to an extend that I have a form of precognition to predict what I think will happen, how it will happen and who will be affected by it. Acid taught me a lot about myself and the way humans communicate. Things that bother most people, don’t bother me as much anymore because I know how much it doesn’t matter. Overthinking causes me to logically identify a problem and come to the conclusion that is it ideal or not worth the effort.

HSP is not defined by overthinking. It's a personality trait, not a subconscious choice like overthinking tends to be.

[@veradragilyova3122]

Martina Nilsson From what you wrote, it follows that personality trait is NOT a subconscious choice. You mean, it’s conscious? Let’s not confuse definitions with consciousness, and let’s not argue that oranges are not apples, in order to prove that each one is edible. 😂 HSP’s tend to overthink things and act in the ways that are described in the video. Overthinking is a subconscious choice for HSP’s, regardless of how you define HSP.

[@veradragilyova3122]

愛月 I did not say that the video is wrong. I only suggested an umbrella term for the list of behaviors. Personality is described as a combination of internal mental processes and externally observed behavior, and overthinking is certainly an ingredient. Overthinking can be changed, there are many types of therapy for that, and I would suggest not coming to conclusions based solely on personal experience. Look wider, look at other people and their stories, talk to psychologists and read research on “overthinking” first. Overthinking is not even a scientific term. The word is used for journalistic purposes.

I constantly fidget I sleep well but wake up early or in the middle of the night I see changes or the changes which will be coming in future I have a bad habit of re assure things again and again I don't make commitments easily coz I know I have a moody mind if I don't feel like I won't do it.
