Overthinking and Creating Problems / myLot

United States

September 29, 2019 2:57pm CST

I'm an overthinker. I always have been. I was a good student in school; but I hated to take tests because I would start to pick what I was sure was the correct answer; and then I would start to overthink the question or the problem at hand. In some cases I would change my answer to the incorrect one! You can also overthink a situation in life and make problems where they don't exist. I'm a worrier. Worrying doesn't change the situation or make it any better. My husband is not a worrier at all. I do the worrying for him.

Not too often. I have learned that my first thought is often the correct one so I go with it most times

Yes, at times, but I would say mostly an under thinker. Although, I can be quite analytical, I don't always consider all sides to a question.

I am not anymore. I used to but I rest it to God.

Overthinking can sometimes get the best of us.

I used to be like you! But the life has taught me the lessons and today I don't over think!

Sometimes, I am an over thinker but sometimes I said to myself, why worry about a thing that might not happen at all. I just leave it to God and His mercy.

Yes I am and a worrier too. I think way too much about everything and I always worry. I always think about the worse case scenario happening. I know exactly how you feel.

Yes indeed I am. But I am also a work in progress. So much better than I used to be.
