The biggest problem for overthinkers:

Not the emotions themselves, but mistaking them for facts. Overthinking starts when feelings are treated as evidence instead of signals.

Keeping the mind occupied really helps. Distract one's mind, divert the thought process ! Gaming, my Prime Distraction !

Just one relevant note: not every overthinker becomes unhealthily attached to their partners. The video seems to make that assumption, which is incorrect. The biggest problem for overthinkers is that we identify ourselves very strongly with our thoughts.

What if both are overthinkers in this style, or is it mostly just women? Overthinking men seem more logical, seems like the natural course to follow their lead.

Over thinkers don't specifically need reassurance that people wont leave they need reassurance that you won't punish them for thinking differently but instead discuss things. We get scared of hurting others but also scared you'll hurt us by creating distance or silent treatment.

Over thinking is very bad

One thing i had to learn as an overthinker is the fact that sometimes we are right. It doesn't help the situation but also makes you accept that fact that everyone is deserving of you either

just sleep

Damn Im being called out. I am the overthinker

As someone who does overthink about all relationships in my life, whether it's professional or personal, I do want to point out that although it's not just incoming emotions from others it's our own outgoing emotions. Overthinking does lead to our own emotions being negative-

I went above and beyond for my gf. But even after two years she’d lash out for me spending time with my own family, even when she was invited. I recently broke up with her.

fuck man fuck fuck fuck

realest shit ever but then i got GROOMED

Man this was impactful cause exactly. Everyday I’m so scared I’ll just give up and let the pain win but I can’t. It’s a new set of people who love me regardless of how much my mind tells me otherwise. It hurts being your own enemy sometimes when you have so much to offer

Not this describing me perfectly 😭

I overthink my overthinking—like sensing my lover disconnecting, only to second-guess it's my hallucination, figuring they feel the same pull, keeping our LDR alive yet turning the tension unhealthy. We could never truly fall apart. Hanging by that fine thread, we've grown stronger than as young lovers. The simultaneous damage and healing forge our thread's resilience.

i would like a french version for show to someone

For real

Le way là est dur alors hein

I fucking hate that about myself. Now a few kids, wife, and dogs later I'm still trying to figure out how to get back to me
