Running away from the thoughts.

Most of the time, i find myself overthinking. Its triggered by things that other people say or being somewhere in the silence for too long, me and silence don't really go together.
Each time i find myself overthinking, I pick up my headset and listen to music. Its the only way I get to run away from my own thoughts.
They are scary sometimes. I listen to NF... He is kind of the only rapper i can really relate to... What kind of music do you listen to and whats your most preferred way of dealing with overthinking?

You seem to assume that everybody overthinks. This is not the case. You should ponder the pros and cons of an argument - writing them down helps - and then come to a conclusion.
Also, listening to music is not a universal habit. I only listen to music in the morning when I have breakfast. I don't select it, it comes from a radio station.

Welcome to myLot Maxwell! I hope you enjoy being here. 
I find it hard to control my thoughts and they can go all over the place. However, I can control how I react to my thoughts and counter the thoughts that I don't like. I can think about what it would be like to jump from a tall building but I am certainly not going to do that.
I like melodious music and don't like all music but do like a lot of it.

Music is truly a great way to get away from over thinking. I love reading books whenever I am alone and can fall into over thinking.

I feel overthinking creates un necessary imagination which sometimes lead to nothing

I will be honest that i do the same. Which causes me bad anxiety. Music is literally my addiction. Music is my escape from reality. I am just saying how i do things but i don't know about others.

Hi friend, In my case as a Latino, I listen to salsa. And the way I deal with my excessive thoughts is doing activities that require my full concentration.

I prefer unknown languages songs when I'm sad. Because it's the lyric that make us more sad, but a heart touching music can heal our pain. Mostly the Rhythm that helps us get out of the pain.
