You analyze every word that you hear.
You spend more time thinking than being productive.
You love to think of ways to improve your skills and be better in everything that you do.
Youre good at coming up with fresh ideas, new projects, and detailed plans.
But the problem is that you spend so much time thinking that you never get any work done.
Claude Piche
You get way too excited when youve done something great.
Theres nothing wrong with being proud of your accomplishments.
Youre entitled to celebrate and tell the world your wins in life.
The world changes every day.
Theres no guarantee that youre going to maintain your level of success for the rest of your life.
You have to keep working hard and continually improve yourself.
You find it hard to forget the people who hurt you.
Theres a part of you thats holding you back from completely letting go.
And no matter what you do, you cant erase those awful memories in your mind.
You want everything to be neat and organized.
It freaks you out when something is not in order.
You never put yourself in a situation where youre not prepared or ready.
You always expect the worst.
This is not foreign news to you.
Thinking of negative things somehow becomes your favorite pastime.
You want to feel the pain before it actually happens.
Your favorite question to ask is:why?
Youre thirsty to know the reasons why things happen.
When someone breaks your heart, you immediately want to know why.
You cant be at peace in your life unless they give you the explanations that you need.
The explanations that will put your mind at rest.
You get worried when you dont get a quick response.
Youre worried that theyre upset at you, and thats why it seems like theyre ignoring your message.
The thought of texting someone first stresses you out because what if they dont want to talk to you?
What if they dont want to see your name in their inboxes?
You always think people are talking about you.
When in fact, they arent.
Youre the only one whos giving meaning every time people look in your way.
Somehow you forget that the world doesnt revolve around you.
You are good at picking up important social cues.
Overthinking can be a valuable life skill too.
And that is an advantage that you have the privilege to enjoy as an overthinker.
