Overthinking is the main problem.

Overthinking refers to the act of dwelling on a situation or problem for an extended period of time, often to the point where it becomes excessive and unproductive. Overthinking can be characterized by rumination, worrying, and obsessively analyzing a situation, which can lead to anxiety, stress, and even depression.

Here are some common signs of overthinking:

Difficulty making decisions or taking action
Inability to let go of past mistakes or regrets
Constantly worrying about the future
Overanalyzing social interactions and conversations
Spending excessive time trying to understand and interpret others' actions or motives
Feeling physically tense or stressed
Replaying scenarios in your mind over and over again
Difficulty sleeping or insomnia
Feeling like your thoughts are out of control
A tendency to catastrophize or imagine worst-case scenarios.
While some amount of introspection and reflection can be helpful, overthinking can be counterproductive and lead to negative thought patterns. Strategies such as mindfulness meditation, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and reframing negative thoughts can be effective in managing overthinking and reducing stress and anxiety.
