Kierkegaanks regretfully<p>Remember that your <a href="https://beige.party/tags/overthinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>overthinking</span></a> is not in this or any year’s budget so there’s no way you’re getting paid for the work you’re putting into it</p>
AyaMax is vibing, cruising through a new ritual with his usual calm confidence… or so he thinks. A few moments pass, a few more presses, and he’s still unsure if it’s doing anything at all. Maybe the battery’s dead? Maybe the settings are wrong? Maybe it just needs a lil shake?<br> <br> Nah.<br> <br> 15 minutes later and Max is fully realizing that yes, it was working. Extremely well. Sometimes the effect just… sneaks up on you.<br> <br> This one’s for the overthinkers, the tinkerers, and everyone who’s had to ask, “Wait… did I do that right?”<br> <br> Spoiler: you did.

earthbeingx<p>The phrase "stop overthinking" is a thought-terminating cliché (i.e., a thought-stopper), expecially when said by those who spend their existence constantly underthinking.

the_adventures_of_an_introvert<p>Following on from yesterday's post, in the evening the tradesperson returned to the house next door. Our kitchens face each other and there is only a low fence between them. When I was doing the dishes, I looked up and we momentarily locked eyes 😳</p><p>I didn't want to close the blinds, as he may have taken offence (according to my warped mind), so I finished the washing up with my head down for the entire time. I simply could not risk making eye contact again! 😬</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neurodivergent</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/overthinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>overthinking</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/anxiety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>anxiety</span></a></p>
the_adventures_of_an_introvert<p>Today's example of overthinking occurred when a tradesperson who is working on the house next door was sat in his van outside my house. Illogically, his presence stopped me from charging my phone (the socket is near the window) and from bringing the bins back in. This was because I didn't want him to think that I was spying on him (I wasn't!).</p><p>I would say that this made me a prisoner in my own home, but it was more of a case of being imprisoned by my own mind...again 🧠</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neurodivergent</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/overthinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>overthinking</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/anxiety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>anxiety</span></a></p>
MuzWot<p>Was thinking about writing an essay on overthinking ...what do you think about the idea ?? Should we disregard it or take its importance seriously, do we miss out by not doing so, or do we waste our time &amp; energy engaged in it ??<br />Is overthinking good, bad, or is maybe overthinking actually goldilocks ??<br />I think I may have a lot to say about the topic of <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/overthinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>overthinking</span></a> &amp; lengthily it is not clear-cut or even very simplistic - &amp; what&#39;s more I have a lot to think over about it before I even begin...</p>

James Keogh<p>Feeling I've been fediversing a bit wrong by not boosting enough. Now hesitating to boost at all as since it feels more significant given the rarity 😕. <br>Going to try to raise my rate of boosting in future from "nearly never" to "low".

The Other Brook<p>Spinal Tap's backstory obviously draws inspiration from a lot of bands, but I always thought the particular arc they followed drew a lot from the Kinks. The big difference being that the Kinks had one of the greatest songwriters rock ever produced, but there are other parallels. </p><p><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Comedon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Comedon</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Overthinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Overthinking</span></a></p>
