over thinking
over thinking
I'd like some thoughts on this. I'm a really deep thinker and it often causes me to replay situations over and try to see them from all sides. I also need to talk about things until I feel understood and that I understand the other person. Is this at all normal?

I do the same thing and it turns out it makes me move far away from acceptance in situations. I think about things and what I could have differently instead of just accepting what happened, trying to learn from it, and moving on. I also think it kept me worrying about stuff that was irrelevant. I am chalking it up to my "old way of thinking" which will get me "nil results". I seem to be able to catch myself more often now (8 months in).
Good luck!

I do this a lot and call it my overthinking. Playing stuff over and over in my head. What could I have done or said differently. Why, why, why? I don't have any solutions but I do know it has paralyzed me in many situations from making decisions and I've stayed stuck for too long when I could have moved forward. I think that the solution is what ck2013 said. Accept it, learn from it and move on. Not always easy to practice.
