Life as an overthinker can be particularly hard at times, and honestly, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. From not being able to make big decisions to struggling over what to wear – these issues can be big or small.

Deciding what to wear in the morning can be a nightmare ritual

Leaving the house can take years, purely because you check untold times that you’ve turned everything off and that you’ve remembered all your essentials

But then you get lost in your thoughts and forget something massively important

You can find yourself worrying about the tiniest things

Important conversations need some serious rehearsal time

But it never comes out how you imaged it to in rehearsal

You spend lots of time worrying you’ve forgotten something

Every interaction leaves you scrabbling for a hidden meaning

Ambiguous text conversations are an absolute nightmare

You apologise a lot to make sure you’re safe

Being spontaneous is your worst nightmare

Sleeping is hard because your brain is always working in overdrive

It takes a very long time for an embarrassing memory to become a funny one

People assume you’re a pessimist, but you’ve just got an overactive imagination

Sometimes you can overthink so hard that you come to a ridiculously ideal solution that will never EVER happen

You spent hours staring into space

Concentrating can be hard, because you’ve always got other things to worry about

You’ve made Facebook stalking an art form

Getting drunk is an absolute disaster for you

You struggle with big important decisions

You’ve had to come to terms with the fact that you will make a shit ton of mistakes
