The Overthinker

When analysed, overthinking can be surmised to be one of the most repelling traits that one can have. It is the mark of immaturity; especially when it presents alongside a lack of self-confidence. Overthinking allows a person to become a liar to not only those around them, but ultimately themselves. Overthinkers will create accusations and labels for others, yet remain unable to confirm what or who they, themselves are. 

Overthinking often leads to reaching for random (often irrelevant) assumptions instead of seeking the truth via an educated conclusion. Much time is wasted on swooning or panicking over unrelated ideas that can often be solved with a question or short search. It is a form of denying the truth. 

Overthinking is reinforced through positive feedback loops. The "overthinker" will seek reassurance from those around them, often interrupting at inappropriate times to redirect attention to themselves. Their introjections will ellicit a concerned response from the surroundings, giving the "overthinker" the notion of being cared about. This will increase their need to rely on others for their own self-worth. They will continue to approach their anxieties in a nonconfrontational manner, often desperate for change, but change cannot occur without recognising a problem. 

I urge you, dear reader, to value your time. It is better to romain in solitude than to surround yourself with overthinkers.
