This is one of those tropes that's kind of true, but then people use it as an excuse to just be a shitty person, without "overthinking" about what they're doing or the outside effects, in the form of zero personal accountability.

Reminds me of “YOLO.” Was a nice idea when it meant to be adventurous, try new things, etc. Then it became an excuse to do whatever the fuck with no concern for how one’s actions affect other people.

Blue_Eagle8 t1_izwgjz1 wrote
Overthinking kills happiness only if you don’t know how to use it properly. Chronic over thinker here and I have many situations ready in my head. I’ve saved many people from injuries and robberies because I overthink everything and I found flaws in certain situations.
I was also ready for the pandemic 3 months before it was declared a pandemic because I overthink and had understood that the epidemic in China will soon spread throughout the world.
Just don’t let it cause you anxiety. It took me 3 years to control anxiety.

If you're using thinking properly, you're not overthinking. That's why "thinking" and "overthinking" are separate words.

You can channelise overthinking to serve you basically and then it becomes a super power of sorts that will still waste a ton of your time and energy but will lead to something

Grzzld t1_j01d7r5 wrote
Lateralus by Tool. Best way I can describe Tool’s music is the scene in the movie Contact. The blind guy is listening to the signal and he realizes there is more than what is first realized. Lateralus is an example of that as they use the Fibonacci sequence for some of the measures. It’s built around the golden ratio. Then the juxtaposition of the lyrics which is to stop overthinking things. It’s good stuff.

Wish I could stop it...but the fact that overthinking sometimes reinforces itself when some thoughts are proven to be true is hard to kick the habit. Are we suppose to live in blissful ignorance? Are people who aren't overthinkers just oblivious and turn a blind eye to things they do wrong or should consider further?

That is a thought I think we should have on the night table, taped on the fridge, as wallpaper on the cell phone, and a note near the desk at work. Sometimes we let many important things pass us by, and we fail to act because we get stuck thinking, "what could happen?" Better to take action and learn from what happened.
