There are thinkers. And then there are overthinkers. And if you fall into the latter category, you know exactly what weโre talking about.
For one reason or another, some of us just have hyperactive minds and canโt stop analyzing, evaluating, and worrying about pretty much everything we say or do.
We stress about the tiniest things and lose sleep over matters that really donโt matter all that much.
If youโre an overthinker youโll absolutely relate to these images. Just try not to think about them too much.
1) Weโve Been There
Any overthinker will know exactly how this feels. Whenever a quiet moment comes along, like just before you fall asleep, your mind suddenly starts reminding you of all the dumb stuff you said and all the minor mistakes you think you made that nobody else even noticed.


2) Mission Impossible
Ever tried meditating as an overthinker? Itโs pretty much impossible. Thereโs no possible way you can โfree your mindโ and โlet your worries fade awayโ when you spend all of your waking life stressing about pretty much everything.


3) Letโs Hope For Number 3!
Any overthinker will be nodding their head while reading this hilarious tweet. Overthinkers and overanalyzers tend to constantly worry that every possible situation is going to end in the โworst case scenarioโ.


4) You Can Do It
Yeah, meditation really isnโt a great idea if you tend to think too much. Even if you light a few candles, find a quiet place, and do your absolute best to try and clear your mind, you still find yourself remembering that time someone wished you Happy Birthday and you replied โYou too!โ


5) What A Life
Itโs a sad fact that many overthinkers struggle to be happy for too long. They are capable of feeling happiness, but soon enough, their hyperactive minds always kick in and start worrying about when that happiness might end or fade away.


6) Give Me A Secondโฆ
When you ask an overthinker to make a decision, youโre in for a very long ride! Itโs so hard for us to choose between two things since we canโt help making pros and cons lists of both sides.


7) Wait, What Did You Say?
Overthinking during important conversations can lead to disastrous consequences! If youโre too busy worrying about making eye contact, smiling regularly, and showing interest in what the person is actually saying, you might forget to listen to them.


8) Everyone Is Judging Me
Even the tiniest things can seem huge to an overthinker. Theyโll worry and stress about them for hours, days, weeks, and even years in some cases!


9) Youโre A Good Boy!
Overthinking clearly isnโt an exclusively human problem. This poor pup looks like heโs pondering some of lifeโs biggest questions as he stares out of the window.


10) Try Not To Think About It
This just goes to show how important it is to think before you speak, especially if youโre acting out of anger and are about to yell or be mean to someone. It might only last for a moment for you, but they could think about it for much, much longer.


11) I Overthink, Therefore I Am
True overthinkers will even spend time thinking about how much they think. Theyโll worry about overthinking too much, and then theyโll worry about worrying about overthinking too much. Itโs a never-ending cycle of torment.


12) Accurate
If you want an accurate and amusing representation of what overthinking can feel like, weโve got the perfect statue for you!


13) Youโll Never Forget
Some people are lucky enough to just forget the dumb stuff they did. They donโt seem to care. It falls out of their mind like water off a duckโs back. Overthinkers, however, hold on to each and every mistake. Even when theyโre 60 years old, theyโll still remember that awkward sneeze they did in the middle of math class back in 8th grade.


14) Never!
This is so accurate. If you do something a little silly, most people around you will laugh and then move on. They wonโt even remember it a few minutes later. But to you, it can seem like the world has ended. If only we could see ourselves through the eyes of other people, weโd realize how much time we spend worrying about nothing.


15) Hurry Up!
Why does it feel so scary when this happens? Seriously! The world isnโt going to end if you need a few more seconds to put some money in your pocket, and yet so many of us start to freak out in this situation.


16) Yes, No, Maybe?
We can relate. Itโs one of those questions youโre never quite prepared for, so you hope your brain comes up with something that makes sense before you look like an idiot.


17) If Only
Any overthinker would be so rich if this was the case! But even with all that cash, theyโd still overthink about how to spend it and worry about whether or not they should be investing it.


18) Thanks, Brain
Trying to fall asleep can be a real challenge for an overthinker, especially when your over-active mind just wants to worry you with things like this. No matter what you do, it seems impossible to just climb into bed, close your eyes, and peacefully drift off into a stress-free sleep.


19) Can I Trust Any Of You?
When youโre an overthinker, you have doubts about pretty much everything. Even when you know, deep down, that your friends are good people who hang out with you because they like you, thereโs still a little voice of doubt in your mind making you worry about how they really feel.


20) This Is It
Overthinkers tend to be slight hypochondriacs too. Any time they feel a little pain or suffer any kind of minor symptom, they canโt help worrying that it must be something dramatic and serious and life-ending.


21) Itโs Going To Be A Long Night
Good luck to anyone who wants to sleep in this situation. Itโs impossible. And the harder you try to calm your mind down and drift off to sleep, the worse it gets.


22) Fair Enough
Yep, that sounds pretty laid back to us. If only every life could be so simple and stress-free.


23) This Is My Theme Tune
Itโs bad enough when you worry about real things that are actually happening in the world, but stressing about totally made-up stuff from your own mind can be even worse!


24) Moms Everywhere, We Salute You
This is something that many parents can relate to. Thereโs just so much for you to think about when it comes to your little ones!


25) The Right Time
Why are social situations so hard? It really shouldnโt be a big deal to make eye contact with someone you know. But it is! Itโs a really big deal. At least, thatโs how it feels for an overthinker.


26) So Interesting!
โI really wanted some ice cream but now Iโm going to pretend to be super interested in these frozen mushrooms for as long as it takes until these people move!โ


27) It Never Ends
You can spend your whole life fighting against you hyperactive mind. Or you can just accept it and try to deal with its ridiculous scenarios and unlikely problems as well as you can.


28) You Never Know
โIโm going away for a week so I guess Iโll need about 30 pairs of underwear, just to be on the safe side.โ


29) A Very Long-Term Relationship
This is one relationship that will never end! You just have to hope that your โpartnerโ calms down a little as you get older.


30) The Best Diet
If only this actually worked, every overthinker would be able to eat pizzas and candy all day long without ever worrying about gaining weight!


31) The Endless Cycle
You think too much. Then you think about thinking too much. Then you think about thinking about thinking too much. Itโs a terrible cycle that never ends.


32) How Dare He!
When you start getting mad about imaginary scenarios you made up in your own head, itโs probably time to sit down and practice some deep breathing exercises!


33) So Much Lost Time
If youโre an overthinker, you have to accept that youโre just not going to get as much sleep as the average person. They can drift off peacefully without a care in the world. But youโre going to spend countless nights tossing and turning in your bed, worrying about tiny things that really donโt matter. Sorry, thatโs just how it is.


34) Nope, Nope, Nope
Youโre already worrying about everyone judging the sounds of your last five coughs. Thereโs no way youโre going to give them any more reasons to laugh at you, even if it kills you!


35) That Stings
Thatโs the worst! Itโs never fun when you think you made a good joke, only to hear nothing but silence all around the room. And then, of course, you spend the next five years remembering that moment and evaluating why you should never ever even attempt to make another joke for as long as you live.


36) Please Leave Me Alone
Seriously, people, itโs 2020. Why canโt you just email or text like everyone else? Itโs so much simpler!


37) Do You Love Her!?
Being in a relationship with an overthinker can be tricky. Even with the best intentions at heart, they just canโt help themselves worrying about every random thing and making up scary scenarios in their minds.


38) You Got This
Why do we feel guilty about this? Itโs a totally normal thing to do and most people donโt even care, but overthinkers suddenly feel like criminals if they leave a store without making a purchase.


39) Overthink Mode: Activate!
Uh oh! Something tiny and unimportant just happened? Itโs time for your overthinking instincts to kick in!


40) Hello, Old Friend
Everything is fine and youโre enjoying one little single moment of peace and happiness when suddenly all your anxiety and stress just kicks in out of nowhere, bringing you back to reality in the worst possible way.


41) Expectations And Reality
If you live with an overthinker, this sort of situation will happen more often than you realize. Youโll notice your partner lost in their own little world and you might wonder what theyโre thinking about. You might imagine it being something dramatic or scary, but itโs usually something totally random and insignificant.


42) Too True
For an overthinker, life is a series of โWhat if?โ moments. Most of the time, the โWhat if?โ scenario doesnโt have even the tiniest chance of actually happening, but theyโll still stress about it for hours on end!


43) A Little Inspiration
If youโre an overthinker and want to try and lead a more positive, carefree lifestyle, just remember this simple quote! All the time you spend worrying could be used in so many better ways, and you could be putting your over-active imagination to much better use too.


44) We Felt It
Poor guy. Some people can handle this kind of pressure. Others canโt.


45) We Feel You
This is the life of the overthinker. Even the tiniest little things from many years ago will continue to haunt them, like ghosts that never go away!


46) This Is The End
Walking up to an overthinker and saying something as simple as โIโve got a question for you.โ can trigger all kinds of crazy responses in their brains. Theyโll probably try to act normal and polite on the outside. But on the inside, theyโre freaking out!


47) Who Is It?! If Only There Was A Simple Way To Find Out!
When you combine overthinking and anxiety, you get situations like this. If an overthinkerโs phone starts to ring and they donโt recognize the number, theyโll start imagining all kinds of ridiculous scenarios and even going to the trouble of Googling the number, rather than just saying โHelloโ.


48) Stage Fright
Itโs funny how so many of us can function perfectly normally when weโre alone, but as soon as other people start watching, we can make the dumbest mistakes!


49) 404 Error
Ever feel like your brain is just clogged up with way too much information? Like itโs a computer, trying to run a million different processes all at once? Itโs not fun!


50) Agreed
This is the ultimate truth of being an overthinker. Your whole life is going to be spent in โmental conversationโ with yourself, so you might as well get used to it.


Being an overthinker isnโt easy, but it does have its upsides. People who think a lot and worry about themselves and others tend to be quite kind and thoughtful. Theyโll often go to great lengths just to avoid offending other people around them, and itโs always better to think too much than not enough! We hope you enjoyed these funny pictures and encourage you to share them around with your friends and family too.
