17 days agoWe love to joke about overthinking like it’s just some quirky personality trait.
“I overthink everything 😩”
“Can’t sleep—my brain is busy creating scenarios that will never happen.”
“I answer texts in my head and forget to reply for real.”
It’s relatable. It’s funny.
But it’s also a coping mechanism we don’t talk about enough.
What Overthinking Really Is
Overthinking is the brain’s way of trying to feel safe.
When life feels unpredictable, your mind tries to control the outcome.
When trust has been broken, your mind tries to anticipate every possibility.
When you’ve been hurt before, your brain scans for danger—even in peaceful moments.
Overthinking isn’t you being “too much.”
It’s your body saying:
“I’m scared of getting it wrong again.”
Let’s Get Honest:
Sometimes you replay conversations because you’re afraid you said the wrong thing.
Sometimes you assume the worst so you don’t get disappointed again.
Sometimes you can’t enjoy the present because you’re too worried about what comes next.
You’re not dramatic. You’re just trying to protect yourself.
What Helps (From Experience):
1. Journaling the thoughts without judgment — don’t silence them, just let them out.
2. Talking it out with someone safe — you’ll be surprised how light it feels.
3. Reminding yourself: not everything needs fixing or decoding. Some things just are.
4. Learning to pause before spiraling. It’s not easy, but it’s powerful.
5. Choosing self-compassion instead of self-criticism. You’re doing your best.
Let’s Talk:
