18 Signs You're An Overthinker

- Are you an overthinker? Here are some tell-tale signs you overthink everything! While being able to weigh options carefully is a useful skill, getting carried away with thinking too much can have adverse effects. Being indecisive and constantly worrying and overanalyzing everything can create negative thoughts and emotions and overwhelm your brain.
You are more likely to be an overthinker if you are a perfectionist or have some type of anxiety disorder. And it’s not something that can just be just turned off. Chronic overthinking is not really a conscious act, but more of a compulsive obsession.
While there are some limitations of being trapped in an overthinking mind, knowing even just some of them can help you balance your overthinking with more doing.

Are you an overthinker? If so, what are some other challenges of being trapped in an overthinking mind?
For tips on how to stop overthinking, check out this video: ruclips.net/video/yQumuTeDMC4/видео.html
Taking every thing personally or seriously. Also its difficult to take criticism lightly. Dont like to indulge in debates/arguments.
I can relate to most things described in this video.
Anxiety and insomnia. It’s like my brain will not slow down. I worry about everything!
I personally feel that I get judgements by everyone for my behaviour and I hate being judged
Thinking about my horrible life. My mom was not great. Told me age 12 that "Your kinda cute but will never be pretty." Horrible. I hate my past and cannot accept it at all.
I can't stop worrying.
I often worry about things I have no control over.
I constantly remind myself of mistakes.
I relive embarrassing moments in my mind over and over.
I often ask myself "what if..." questions
The 4th one I do always.i always think of my embarrassing situation.but what I do is I say that I forgive myself for that.then I forgets it.try that
Yes
I do all that 😩
I blame me constantly. I worry lots of things where i have no controll over. If i want to start to start a business, i remind myself that i failed 4 previus businesses so if try new business i think i will fail again.
That "what if" is with me too
*I'm practically a professional overthinker. At least, I believe so... lemme think about it.* 🤔
Lol
Bro I feel ur pain I'm not even 16 but I overthink everyday
ahahahahah
Before you start, think about putting punctuation at the end of your sentence.😲😪
I feel you
Am over-thinker who likes to google everything and worry about any little things but seriously is stressing because am always Panic about things
This is so me
Gosh is truly me
depress kana bro😂
"Hold on to thoughts that benefit you and let go of the thoughts holding you back" --Yes! Thanks for the reminder! Overthinking also leads to self doubt which can get you stuck in life. It's hard to deal with it sometimes but I know that when we're aware that we are overthinking, we can figure out a way to stop it:)
A lot of us needed to watch this video. It's good they provided that advice at the end 💝 thank you for writing it down. Reading it while they said it, helped speak over my thoughts and take in that advice 😊
@@mabelidove6813 I tend to turn captions on to focus my mind. If only I could do that when people speak and ask me to remember something at work. I could then literally pause and rewind, get my task done then erase the video. I guess that's a classic response from an over-thinker. I am an HSP. I wonder how many people are Highly Sensitive and over-thinkers or whether you could be highly sensitive without being considered an over-thinker.
Me : Wondering if i'm an overthinker 🤔
Also me : Watching the video and getting lost in my thoughts for a whole minute and rewatch some points.
Okok i got it !
Usually, when you are overthinking, writing in a piece of paper all your thoughts when you feel like your head is about to explode can help you to relieve it a bit. While reading the notes you put on the paper, your brain can, sometimes, notice that what you are overthinking is not that big as it was becoming. Our thoughts are also information and it's about how we organize our ideas.
Yes you right
And all the thinkings for ordering our thoughts has gone wasted
Being an overthinker is not always something negative, it allows one to anticipate things in advance and get prepared.
This describes me 100%. Unfortunately, because I’m on the extreme end of all 18 of these things, sometimes I binge drink alcohol in order to try and calm my mind down.
Same love!!! Same.
Being present in the moment is the best cure for overthinking, trust me, I googled the hell out of it and binged on 3000 hours worth of videos about it😉
How do you do that?
@@girikrishnan5532 for real I narrate my actions in my head, like it was hard at first but now I control my monkey mind. I wash my dishes by hand and tell a story in my head that describes my current actions, like "Charis is scrubbing a plate" etc.. sounds crazy I know. . I also go on meditation walks where I just narrate/ observe my surroundings, i.e. red car, barking dog, laughing child, mild breeze. It has really helped all my negative past ruminations and worrisome projections. I used to be on anti-anxiety medicine and I don't take anything now. I can regulate my emotions very well now. it is also important to train yourself to not take anybody else's actions personally, this helps you respond instead of be reactive.
@@charisthomas3300 thanks a lot
@@charisthomas3300 that actually is good advice....ty I’m going to start doing it.
I can't believe that EVERY item I'm already doing EXATLY!! I thought I was simple and not an overthinker!!
Me too
Overthinking is one of my toxic passions. Makes me feel safe and yet it fucks me over. I have identified myself with almost if not all every single point said on this video.
At least I speak with my situation: my mind is very wired to think certain types of thoughts (usually negative ones). And not everything is negative. So what I am trying to do is to question some of my thoughts. And try to think about a valid positive reason why the thought might be just wrong. I also question myself why this train of thought happens: Why can't I be more positive and just live in the moment?
I believe everyone can balance that out if you start to implement things you don't usually think about.
And one thing said in the video a good way to counter all of this: focus on a task for a long period of time and train your focus.
I have almost all of this signs except on being organized , I'm really a messy person 😅
But can you identify whatis where? I know I can, I freak when ppl move my things
@Alexis Deterala ... and please do not touch my piles, I know where everything is!! 😅😁
I can clean up nicely, but it never stays that ways
Same. But I know if anyone touches my things.
My take on this for me personally is that my overthinking is because of deep underlying fear and anxiety.
1. You're thinking right now, Stop it.
Nope. I just can't!!
Can'ttttt
It's really annoying when people tell me I'm over thinking something bc I can't help it. Also isn't it good to be prepared for things?
Yes its really frustrating at times.
Yes, somethings said here are just common sense that every people should do at certain extent. Overthinkers just might overdo it.
Yes I’m overthinker like in my car I have napkins and first aid kit and gps just in case I lose signal on my phone and fire extinguisher just in case I like to be prepared
"hold on, I'll turn my brain off for a minute..." Ha!
It's because overthinking brings some negative vibes, and it's kinda stupid and also annoying for non-overthinkers, like focus on the present and just think not OVERTHINK.
Yes, I am Overthinker and I overthink everything about my relationship❤️
Introvert
INFJ
overthinker
Who else
Yep. Hi there, fellow INFJ
Here 🤚🏼
Me
Fellow tortured soul here!
hello my fellow INFJs
This explains why I was so reticent about taking on a new and very challenging role At work... it's been a tough year because every day is completely unpredictable... but taking on the challenge has dealt with the overthinking quite a bit..
Me: "im not an overthinker"
Also me: *watches this at 2 am*
I feel like I'm an overthinker also, I'm watching this at 2:41am.
3:45 am here lol
1:43 am
1:42am🤣
@@elliem7912 Me too!?
I was an over thinker, but 2 years of DBT and CBT skills have changed my thoughts process.
When I overthink, I think about all the possible ways an issue or event could go and how the outcome could affect me. Once it actually happens I have already relived all the possible outcome hence not surprised much
I think that I am an overthinker and every point mentioned here seems to be true in my life.
Thanks for presentation.
I am an overthinker but I think this is good for me because I can convert invaluable things to most valuable through this thinking. And it is the thing which seperates me from many other people and I am predominant over them
Better to be a thinker then to not think at all.🙂👍 I observe and remember things and my wheels constantly turn in my mind. I'll admit I'm costantly thinking my mind is always in motion.
I'm an overthinker and its sooo true.
Omg. It pins a serious accuracy of my personality. Thanks for an alternative analysis of my self. Its really hard to be overthinker especially you have experience betrayal and tons of negative issues in life
I hate when ppl are like “ you’re over thinking it” I’m like “ you’re under thinking”
I was thinking about living in Holland while watching this video !!
anyway it's really reliving when I know myself more, thank you for this great video.
I think I’ve done more googling and research on things that I overthink of then I did with my school work. Also I believe overthinking can sometimes be a good thing and a bad thing but I feel it’s hard to take control of that, people don’t realize how powerful the brain can be
A video about how to reduce it would be useful. Please. Thanks in advance.
Yes
Yess I was going to ask the same thing so plsss post a video it will really be very helpful.... thank you for this video....I am truly an overthinker....
I, usually, say this to myself: I will try to do everything that is in my power (100% of my best) to fulfill the tasks, and if things are not working out favourably, well, then at least it was not my fault. That almost gives me a certain level of peace of mind.
Yes
Convicted! You guys are good.
The quality of the videos in this video is great! And perfectly complements what is being said
Congrats!
I love their videos, some of the pics are funny cz they're spot on.
Overthinking, anxiety, intrusive thoughts....
For me it's:
obsessing about the future,
Who to date, seeing what clothes look good, seeing what furniture looks good in your room, completing tasks at the last minute, fearing rejecting.
Totally me
Thank you. Add to that fear of failure
I recognize most all of those traits in me. It is hard to let go of the way I prepare. I do have obsessive traits and try to be perfect. Try not to hurt other people’s feelings. Overthink comments to me or about me. Never let things go when someone has hurt me. Always have second thoughts about anything I may make public on social media.
You are speaking directly to me.
Thanks, needed this a lot
As much as I was watching ...I was like how do you know that much about me😂😂😂
I'm usually googling things and I regret things a lot
so, I guess I'm an overthinker.
Very nice and informative video. You mentioned the true signs of over thinkers
I usually don't overthink too much of my decisions, but I overthink other people.
Thanks I really know myself better now ♥️
This is not only for overthinkers, people with ADHD often have these signs too! I know that because I'm both😅🤣
Damn i feel u same
I am most definitely an overthinker...I constantly have everything on my mind, from worrying about my grown sons to everyday life🤦🏾♀️
Omg!😲
I think they just described me.
I posses every trait listed in the video.
The paralysis of analysis. When younger I was hindered by that. Much less so as I get older.
William Hutcheson Same here, William. I’m 62 now and don’t care what they think! Happy day!!!
I consistently see 3 of these traits in myself. Some of the others, some people project onto me. 🙏ing for improvement on both fronts. 🌞😁🎉
Every little thing is always a big deal for me.
One can get out of overthinking situations by setting deadlines for actions and taking those actions.
You have described me with this except some of them
Our way of thinking is the most powerful thing we possess without it we are nothing
Yup that's me, after the overthinking and planning I laugh at myself sometimes but most times the planning worked.being a perfectionist is stressful sometimes
I have been called an overthinker. In retrospect I must say that overthinking has saved my bacon MANY times. I see it as a virtue, not a vice.
Meesh For me it’s both.
Yes!!!!
Just sick of overthinking, I can’t live with it. It’s a benefit and a curse, when you’re constantly thinking about everything you realize that you’re alone. I’ve tried to talk to people about it but they don’t understand at all or just ignore me. It’s hard to explain to people that I just think so much more and I’m always thinking about different things. And even when I wanna talk to someone I end up talking to myself instead
Everything u said in this video is completely true and relevant to me.
do meditation .....reject islam
My teacher used to say "Don't read in to things too much, you'll become mad". For some reason can't stop over thinking.
I don't know when i started overthinking i just noticed a year ago it was there before i just didn't noticed i have to tell my self eveeytime that it's not important so stop thinking about it
I, myself, am a overthinker and it's really bad. These days I'm feeling really very depressed, sad and paranoid. It doesn't bother me much before but since last two months it's taking over me. I'm always quiet, sad, scared all the time. Can't talk much about it to anyone at home. I hope to find a group online where I could share my feelings with people like me.
I’m sorry that you don’t have anyone to talk to about it.. would you like to add me on Insta or Facebook to talk?
I’ll overthink to an extend that I have a form of precognition to predict what I think will happen, how it will happen and who will be affected by it.
Acid taught me a lot about myself and the way humans communicate. Things that bother most people, don’t bother me as much anymore because I know how much it doesn’t matter.
Overthinking causes me to logically identify a problem and come to the conclusion that is it ideal or not worth the effort.
Good video, I have to admit I´m an overthinking which not easy at times but I always make my own decisions coz I hate to follow the herd.
I think I'm an over qualified overthinker
Great, now I’m thinking why I overthink.
I keep watching these videos just to confirm what i already know.
Thanks. That was helpful.
Omg! I was about to listen to this just to show it to my husband and tell him that he is a overthinkiner!
After listen to it i realized that i am the one! Now i have to search how to fix that!! 😩😩🤔🤔
😂same here I searched for boyfrnd..I found I am the one who creating issues between us..
That's me, oh God I needed this advice.
Yes am I am an overthinker and I always stop my selef in indulging in new things by thinking what can be it's negetive repercussion.. even it's a relationship
Yep it's like 100 things on my mind. It's so exhausting 😣
Idk if it got mentioned in the video, but when I'm helping someone with a decision or just myself I think of every scenario and it's outcome
😅😅 after watching this video of yours I came to know that I'm a over thinker 🤣. Surprisingly all the qualities you mentioned in the video are in me.
I felt its normal to plan everything and make sure everything is perfect all the time since I'm like this from long time. But I'm happy to hear that I'm a over thinker coz no matter what life throws at me I'm always prepared 😁
This list sounds like it is describing HSP’s-highly sensitive persons.
HSP is not defined by overthinking. It's a personality trait, not a subconscious choice like overthinking tends to be.
Martina Nilsson From what you wrote, it follows that personality trait is NOT a subconscious choice. You mean, it’s conscious? Let’s not confuse definitions with consciousness, and let’s not argue that oranges are not apples, in order to prove that each one is edible. 😂 HSP’s tend to overthink things and act in the ways that are described in the video. Overthinking is a subconscious choice for HSP’s, regardless of how you define HSP.
@@veradragilyova3122 Well I was not arguing so I don't understand why you would comment with fruits in your reply, it had nothing to do with what you mentioned with HSP. But I'm happy to know that what I said made you laugh! 💗 I don't mind you thinking that I am stupid, it just goes to show that you misinterpreted my energy
@@veradragilyova3122 well I think he is right you can change your personality but you cant help overthinking. Trust me I know by personal experience
愛月 I did not say that the video is wrong. I only suggested an umbrella term for the list of behaviors. Personality is described as a combination of internal mental processes and externally observed behavior, and overthinking is certainly an ingredient. Overthinking can be changed, there are many types of therapy for that, and I would suggest not coming to conclusions based solely on personal experience. Look wider, look at other people and their stories, talk to psychologists and read research on “overthinking” first. Overthinking is not even a scientific term. The word is used for journalistic purposes.
I am a overthinker all that menshion in this video is true to me
This video was literally God-sent🤞🏾 as a result I'm going to base on it the next video on my channel and put the link to it in my description! Thank you Brainydose🙇🏾♀️🙏🏾❤️
Not all the traits but definitely an overthinker
Miss out on good relationships and Blessings
I'm definitely an overthinker based on this diagnosis.
And sadly I'm nursing stomach ulcers thanks to this habit.
i am definitely an "overthinker." it is a habit. im not perfect. i accept that i am an overthinker and try to learn about my shortcomings and minimize their effects on my life. To Brainy Dose: thanks for the information. putting references in your video would be good, make your claims sound more "scientific". the points made seem to be generally true (at least from my perspective). but i hope young people watch this and -dont despair- but take charge of their aspirations
I’m almost all of these. Very enlightening. Now, how do I change?
Thinking Alot Is A Great Thing, But Over thinking Can Be Bad On Some Things.
I see everything from every angle. And try to analyse every bit.
I see details how people talk, say, eye contact, I see lied or shady things easily.
I can predict people stupidity through normal interactions.
I blame myself too easily
When someone doesn't match my vibes, that person is somewhat shady most of the tym.
I constantly fidget
I sleep well but wake up early or in the middle of the night
I see changes or the changes which will be coming in future
I have a bad habit of re assure things again and again
I don't make commitments easily coz I know I have a moody mind if I don't feel like I won't do it.
You bet I’m overthinking this right now 😀.
Today after watching this video i thought all the prblms are happening just for Overthinking
i am wandering that how can you know abt my life...aaise he same mere saath hota h....but not for everyone just for one whom i am in love
Wow, I’ve watched only 2 of the videos and found out I’m a highly sensitive over thinker!I’m almost afraid to watch any more. This is stressful so I’d better think about it before watching any more. 🤔
This was really helpful to watch. I overthink so much and I display almost everything that was said here. Do you have any advice on how to calm down the thinking? Also is there any science behind overthinking?
Hahaha! It's as if all of the points listed are true. God! I am indeed an overthinker. Thanks for this brainy dose.
It’s like he is talking about be me for the most part
Living a solitary lifestyle can sure mess with an over thinker.
The humming and twirling hair makes sense now... ;)
I have most of these problems where I try to not let it weigh down on.....even when I explain things to much my supervisor would to try to let me that if it's ok then belive what she says....like if I made a few mistakes and didn't know then it's ok I don't need to explain it.I had a habit of doing cause I didn't want anyone to think I'm out to cause trouble or do anything stupid on purpose just to piss others off.She cares about me and was telling I need to chill out and relax my mind....even still mother would remind that I'm way too hard on myself a lot.I don't mean to be but I do it for reason to remind myself to be cautious to watch what I'm doing and not be stupid again....I can't help how I feel at times.If I wrong about something I would admit not to gain a pity party or anything but just to do the right things by fessing up to mistakes as a adult.
Wouldn't this just be called "Anxiety"?
No, pretty sure anxiety is alot more and clinically diagnosed
@@gzhzoe22 yea
Those things come together in a whole pack
Yep im definitely a overthinker..💯👌
Great video...👍👏👏🙏
I am, and the worst thing is not being able to let go, Over thinking is so bad that i have sever anxiety because of it.
He just described me😟
I being a overthinker I can think whole day,.......
Being overthink and recent heartbreak are the worst combination ever.
Brainy dose good job at psychology
I used to be 100% all this. But I grew and matured and a lot of it has faded away. I still have times of overthinking but it's not NEAR as bad and as frequent. It all started when I made the decision to have a more positive life and it's been better since =)
Your right. Been there done that, it’s a great habit to break.ℹ️💯✅✝️🙏🏿📖🗡👊🏿👌🏿👍🏿☯️😎
