When we overthink in the hopes of gaining this elusive control, we may start to find ourselves in a worse off spot than that we began from. This is because overthinking as a trait is very good at tricking us into feeling worse about a situation than we should. Our thoughts go from being focused on solving a problem to worrying about other issues that are unconnected, our mind becomes a torrent of what if the how's is, and the why's.
Instead of simply accepting that perhaps we have no control over the situation. Distress likes to rear up when we start behaving like this, we begin to spend all our time worrying in our heads about some nebulous threats that are abstract and hard to pin down. We lose sleep which then ends up furthering our negative mental state.
This book gives a comprehensive guide on the following:
People who overthink can find themselves in many different social situations where they begin to spend an inordinate amount of time worrying about every little interaction they have and how people begin to think of them. This can prove to be extremely damaging as instead of just being our true selves we begin to try to tailor ourselves to the unchained ideas that we have in our mind.
The first point, to begin with, is how our modern age makes overthinking easier to do than ever. Our lives are not how they were thousands of years ago where fears were while very real, and much more well-defined than "I'm stressed over exams" back then our concerns dealt more with finding food, avoiding the warring tribe next to us, or getting the hell out of dodge, when we find ourselves face to face with a lion that thinks we may make a good snack.
This is where overthinking can begin to become a negative habit. Think of it like this you begin your day by going to work spending your whole thought process towards trying to get that raise or promotion. Then you get home and what you know is that your mind is still racing about it, you find yourself staring at the ceiling wondering what will happen if you attain that goal that you want to get or if it will simply fall flat and not become anything. Then you get up and do the same thing again.
