Overthinkers

Are you glad to see me back? I hope so because I have so much to tell you guys from now on!!

So, we all hear about overthinkers, and you all think "Oh my god! This person thinks so much!" when you see a person overthinking, but did you know that it is not something that they learn but something of a behavioral pattern that might have happened due to their life experiences?

It is not something that they can stop. It is something that continuously brews and grows within a mind. It just starts with a thought and it slowly grows mostly in a negative way. And then they stress over it, keep spiraling, and then boom! They are overcome with emotions over small things. There is also one more thing an overthinker does. Always worry about the future. As in what next? They always need a plan B ready because they keep thinking about what if what they already have goes away!? I know right, how crazy is the human mind!

So what should a person living with them do? Tell them continuously to stop overthinking? Or just laugh at them when they say something that seems ridiculous to you? No, you need to understand that that is how their brain works. Just telling them to stop doesn't make them stop. Do you really this it is that easy? The more you make fun of them or call them names, the more their negative emotions increase. That doesn't also mean you keep adjusting and fighting about everything. You just need to be patient. You need to give them time and help to understand how to deal with this and how to keep their emotions and thoughts in check. Because a person who can think so much in the negative can also think so much in the positive, right? So, think about how much they keep thinking about you when they start becoming close to you!

How do I know all this? Because I too am an overthinker! :)

Have a nice day!
