Analyzing Too Much

One of my most annoying and stressful habit is that I do overthink small things.. even if I tell myself not to - still it is conditioned like that whenever I'm alone or when I find reasons to think about certain things again. And when I do, there's no way of holding back that easily.. I know some of you had this kind of self setting too, did you like it? I mean, doesn't it stressed you too much?

I overthink small things rather than the big ones. I can accept the situation if it's the other way around, but the sad point is.. it is not. What do I overthink about? Well, certain matters of life's irony and most of the time, just as small as 'why-did-I-chose-that-flavor-of-ice-cream,-I-should've-bought-the-other-one' kind of things.. Ang hirap i-explain.. but I know for sure that you know what I am saying.

Yup, I just got out of overthinking hours ago.

It's actually harder than facing your own nightmares (of course, not the literal nightmares you think of) - well, in my opinion. I mean, what will you get when you do? What will it benefit you? Overthinking frustrates the hell out of me. Yup. Yup. I can't find any good reasons why people should overthink things.. why I SHOULD. If it's a disease, I maybe in a comma right now.

For instance, someone ignored me.. and then, being me left alone hanging there with such Ws, I analyze bit by bit the situation that had happened before that incident. Then I think of the cons first on what will happen after.. then the pros afterwards. After I conditioned myself, I'll stop for awhile. As I scan thru the facebooks homepage, I saw that person's photo tags, and then I do analyze things again.. Same process. No good effect.

According to the article I've read, "Overthinking isn't something you're born doing, it's a learned habit you form over time, probably as a defense mechanism to the possibility of failure". Googled random overthinking related topics, nd to my surprise, there are ways to stop overthinking.. YAAAAAAYYYYYY (Click here to view article)

I agree on everything the article has said except on the part that overthinkers are more prone to sustained sadness and negative thinking. Yes, theres sadness and negative thoughts but sustained?? I haven't experience that pa naman, na yung sobrang puro negative thoughts lahat - NO. On my opinion, well, yup.

This is just one of the random rants I post.. Sorry. I'm just too curious, too frustrated, and maybe because I really really think too much. Oh yeah, maybe this is one of the effects of overthinking.. See? I am analyzing small things - dugging deep even though I know there's nothing to see.

Haaaaay. I should learn how to stop myself and take the full turns slowly as how much I learned to overthink stuffs bit by bit. Nako. Nako. This is bad. Too stressful.
