21 Struggles Of Being An Overthinker

Worrying is your specialist subject.

1. Deciding what to wear is a difficult and complicated decision.

2. Leaving the house can also take years, as you have to check at least three times that you've turned the oven off and that you've remembered your keys.

3. But then you can get so lost in your own thoughts that you completely forget something actually important.

4. You can worry about absolutely anything.

5. If you have to have an important conversation you'll rehearse it in your head 100 times.

6. And yet no matter how many different possibilities you rehearse, it never comes out like you imagined it.

7. You spend a large amount of time feeling like you've forgotten something.

8. You can read hidden meaning into nearly every interaction.

9. And conversations over text are even more of a minefield.

10. So you end up apologising a lot just to be safe.

11. Being spontaneous is practically impossible for you.

12. Going to sleep can be a problem because your brain will always find something else to worry about.

13. It takes a VERY long time for an embarrassing memory to turn into a funny one.

14. People sometimes assume you're pessimistic, but actually you just have a very active imagination.

15. But sometimes you can think about something so much that you also end up imagining a ridiculously positive outcome, which will probably never happen.

16. You spend a lot of time staring into space.

17. Concentrating on one thing can be hard because you're always drifting off into your own thoughts.

18. You're an expert Facebook stalker.

19. There is no worse feeling than getting drunk and not remembering what you said to someone.

20. You're not very good at big decisions.

21. You've had to come to terms with the fact that not everything has a hidden meaning, and you will make some mistakes.
