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.

Ever tried meditating as an overthinker? It’s pretty much impossible. There’s no possible way you can ‘free your mind’ and ‘let your worries fade away’ when you spend all of your waking life stressing about pretty much everything.

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 ‘worst case scenario’.

Yeah, meditation really isn’t 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 “You too!”

It’s 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.

When you ask an overthinker to make a decision, you’re in for a very long ride! It’s so hard for us to choose between two things since we can’t help making pros and cons lists of both sides.

Overthinking during important conversations can lead to disastrous consequences! If you’re 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.

Even the tiniest things can seem huge to an overthinker. They’ll worry and stress about them for hours, days, weeks, and even years in some cases!

Overthinking clearly isn’t an exclusively human problem. This poor pup looks like he’s pondering some of life’s biggest questions as he stares out of the window.

This just goes to show how important it is to think before you speak, especially if you’re 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.

True overthinkers will even spend time thinking about how much they think. They’ll worry about overthinking too much, and then they’ll worry about worrying about overthinking too much. It’s a never-ending cycle of torment.

If you want an accurate and amusing representation of what overthinking can feel like, we’ve got the perfect statue for you!

Some people are lucky enough to just forget the dumb stuff they did. They don’t seem to care. It falls out of their mind like water off a duck’s back. Overthinkers, however, hold on to each and every mistake. Even when they’re 60 years old, they’ll still remember that awkward sneeze they did in the middle of math class back in 8th grade.

This is so accurate. If you do something a little silly, most people around you will laugh and then move on. They won’t 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, we’d realize how much time we spend worrying about nothing.

Why does it feel so scary when this happens? Seriously! The world isn’t 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.

We can relate. It’s one of those questions you’re never quite prepared for, so you hope your brain comes up with something that makes sense before you look like an idiot.

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

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.

When you’re 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, there’s still a little voice of doubt in your mind making you worry about how they really feel.

Overthinkers tend to be slight hypochondriacs too. Any time they feel a little pain or suffer any kind of minor symptom, they can’t help worrying that it must be something dramatic and serious and life-ending.

Good luck to anyone who wants to sleep in this situation. It’s impossible. And the harder you try to calm your mind down and drift off to sleep, the worse it gets.

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

It’s 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!

This is something that many parents can relate to. There’s just so much for you to think about when it comes to your little ones!

Why are social situations so hard? It really shouldn’t be a big deal to make eye contact with someone you know. But it is! It’s a really big deal. At least, that’s how it feels for an overthinker.

“I really wanted some ice cream but now I’m going to pretend to be super interested in these frozen mushrooms for as long as it takes until these people move!”

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.

“I’m going away for a week so I guess I’ll need about 30 pairs of underwear, just to be on the safe side.”

This is one relationship that will never end! You just have to hope that your ‘partner’ calms down a little as you get older.

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

You think too much. Then you think about thinking too much. Then you think about thinking about thinking too much. It’s a terrible cycle that never ends.

When you start getting mad about imaginary scenarios you made up in your own head, it’s probably time to sit down and practice some deep breathing exercises!

If you’re an overthinker, you have to accept that you’re just not going to get as much sleep as the average person. They can drift off peacefully without a care in the world. But you’re going to spend countless nights tossing and turning in your bed, worrying about tiny things that really don’t matter. Sorry, that’s just how it is.

You’re already worrying about everyone judging the sounds of your last five coughs. There’s no way you’re going to give them any more reasons to laugh at you, even if it kills you!

That’s the worst! It’s 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.

Seriously, people, it’s 2020. Why can’t you just email or text like everyone else? It’s so much simpler!

Being in a relationship with an overthinker can be tricky. Even with the best intentions at heart, they just can’t help themselves worrying about every random thing and making up scary scenarios in their minds.

Why do we feel guilty about this? It’s a totally normal thing to do and most people don’t even care, but overthinkers suddenly feel like criminals if they leave a store without making a purchase.

Uh oh! Something tiny and unimportant just happened? It’s time for your overthinking instincts to kick in!

Everything is fine and you’re 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.

If you live with an overthinker, this sort of situation will happen more often than you realize. You’ll notice your partner lost in their own little world and you might wonder what they’re thinking about. You might imagine it being something dramatic or scary, but it’s usually something totally random and insignificant.

For an overthinker, life is a series of “What if?” moments. Most of the time, the “What if?” scenario doesn’t have even the tiniest chance of actually happening, but they’ll still stress about it for hours on end!

If you’re 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.

Poor guy. Some people can handle this kind of pressure. Others can’t.

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!

Walking up to an overthinker and saying something as simple as “I’ve got a question for you.” can trigger all kinds of crazy responses in their brains. They’ll probably try to act normal and polite on the outside. But on the inside, they’re freaking out!

When you combine overthinking and anxiety, you get situations like this. If an overthinker’s phone starts to ring and they don’t recognize the number, they’ll start imagining all kinds of ridiculous scenarios and even going to the trouble of Googling the number, rather than just saying “Hello”.

It’s funny how so many of us can function perfectly normally when we’re alone, but as soon as other people start watching, we can make the dumbest mistakes!

Ever feel like your brain is just clogged up with way too much information? Like it’s a computer, trying to run a million different processes all at once? It’s not fun!

This is the ultimate truth of being an overthinker. Your whole life is going to be spent in ‘mental conversation’ with yourself, so you might as well get used to it.
