Overthinking.
Its worrying about things that might never happen as you dwell over the things that have.
God & Man
Its every fear you have that paralyzes you.
And as you think more you hold back tears.
Its failure becoming your worst reality in your mind.
Failing at a job.
People who overthink tend to strive for unrealistic expectations which lead to success.
But the cost is exhaustion maintaining it.
Its being both physically and emotionally exhausted from a brain that never slows down or shuts off.
Overthinking is that pause between texts as you wonder how they interrupting what you said.
Its typing and deleting and sending yet another because your mind is playing tricks on you.
Its the constant need for answers and responses just to keep your mind at bay and calm.
Then it makes you doubt yourself and second guess everything.
You never follow your first instinct when you overthink things.
Its following the destructive path your mind leads you down and you cant make it stop if you want.
Overthinking is like some fire you cant control and it just destroys everything in its path including you.
Its the critical voice that clings to mistakes only to bring them up later.
Waiting for something to change.
Waiting for something to go wrong.
Waiting for someone to get mad.
Waiting for something to end dramatically and it is your fault.
It leads you thinking every worst scenario will be a reality.
Overthinking leads you to be overly cautious with everything.
Overthinking in relationships is accepting you arent going to be the strong and confident one ever.
Its needing that reassurance for every doubt.
Its needing someone, to be honest, all the time and explain things very thoroughly.
Its the conversations that might be awkward but the person needs to be able to communicate.
Tell you when something is wrong.
Tell you when you are mad.
Tell you exactly what they are thinking.
Its the fights you want solutions to immediately because if you dont your mind will create ten more problems.
And what can I do to fix it?
Its choosing words so carefully because you never want to intentionally hurt someone.
Overthinking are the relationships that end and you always think its you that to blame.
Overthinking are the solutions you want to fix to something that isnt even a problem.
