How many evenings have seemed endless due to the constant over-analyzing we do in our minds? If you belong to the category of “overthinkers”, you understand exactly what we mean. A simple and innocent thought can very easily become inflated and end up being a torture of our psychology. Most problems are created by ourselves in the first place, due to the fact that we often allow them to creep into us, focusing on the worst case scenario and not on their solution. This is how a person who analyzes everything functions. Except that in this case even an insignificant
