How can I stop over-analyzing EVERYTHING?

On Easy A, she asks a guy ‘’Why are you interested in me now, after all these years?’’ and he says ‘’I don’t know, I didn’t over analyze it like you’re about to’’ lol.. and that’s how I am.. I question everything everyone says or does (not literally) I wonder what their real intentions are, I make things more complicated when it’s something little and simple, and I end up driving myself crazy and sometimes the people I bring into it.. How can I stop? I feel like when I don’t think hard about everything, I’m going to get myself hurt…

Answer #1

wen u catch yourself doing it jus stop,take a deep breath or count to 5 or 10 lol try ur best not to do it ok.

Answer #2

I over analyze the world as well. The other day I overanalyzed why a bottle of deodorant was pink and not blue and then wondered why pink is for girls and how our perspectives would have been if blue was for girls and pink for boys etc etc. It usually indicates that you are intelligent. I honestly don’t know how to stop it.

Answer #3

Lol I do that too… yesterday I spent maybe 15 minutes outside wondering why certain insects can fly and why some can’t.. like there was only a limited amount of wings, and whoever got there first, was rewarded with wings.. and the ants had to work overtime, so they didn’t make it in time to get any wings… But it can be kind of harmful to me sometimes… like this weekend, my boyfriend came over (and he’s leaving for 2 weeks) and he didn’t do anything with me! So I started thinking.. okay, he probably finds me disgusting, and/or, he’s going to find a way to get it somewhere else while he’s gone… and I’ll spend forever thinking about it, no matter how busy I am.. ugh.. My mind works a 24 hr/day shifts..

Answer #4

Same here, I even do work in my sleep. I dream about tests. How sad is that.

Answer #5

I probably analyze more than I need to. I just dont tell people I’m doing it. Here’s something you may want to think about learning to accept. There is nothing you can do to prevent yourself from getting hurt. Life happens. You cant foresee everything and you cannot prepare for everything. And if you try, you’ll end up getting hurt anyways because you’re so busy protecting yourself from getting hurt that you’ll end up alone and miserable. Next time you start doing this, ask yourself, is it absolutely necessary for me to have the answer to this question. Or can I see how it goes and deal with things as they come. Most of the stuff you obsess about is the small stuff that isnt that important. It would be comforting to know (because then you have a sense of control over the situation), but it isnt essential that you know. Bottom line is, you’re going to have to learn how to stop trying to control everything and everyone. Life happens. You have to trust that you can deal with hurt if it happens.

Answer #6

This will come with age. The more you learn about yourself and LOVE yourself, the less you will worry about the motives of others. Here I go again.

 We are all Gods Kids. Derived from the character and nature of A God of Love. There is only seperation from this God of love in our own perceptions, but they are not reality. So if this is true, than sooner or later, if we want to start being the water and not the rock in this stream of life, we can only have one thought proccess and one action pattern, and that is LOVE.  

 What does this look like on a day to day basis?  From the moment i wake up until I go to bed, I am thinking about how I can add to the lives of the people around me. I go out and love Gods kids because I want to, and it does not come with a price tag. I do it because i want to and let the chips fall where they may. Sooner or later by having this attitude  the people who i dont get that love back from, just seem go away, or I go away, because this law of love is an attraction thing. It beggets it. I dont like spending one minute on what your motives are. None of my business. My business is to share myself with anyone who will have me in love, and if you dont want that than you are busy and so am I.

 So Guard yourself, sure, If we are honest with ourselves we know who to set boundaries with, other than that just let the chips fall Moe. The universe and God are wonderfully sinchronistical if you let them. Let the chips fall Baby girl. Sorry I rambled.  Oh ya, and It is a proccess.  Love yourself on the so-called bad days and the so-called good days.  :)
