8 Things Overthinkers Should Stop Worrying About
By Ari Eastman
Oh, hi there! My name is Ari Eastman, resident overthinker and person who worries until she develops an ulcer. HAHA IT’S COOL, DON’T WORRY! In trying to combat some of my damaging thinking, I’ve been working on letting go of some things and attempting to approach life in a less stressful way. But hey, haters gonna hate. And overthinkers gonna overthink, so with all that being said, here are some things you could TRY to not worry about. We could TRY? Maybe. Yeah.
1. Who is engaged or having a baby on your Facebook timeline
Not that you shouldn’t be excited for them or send a quick little, “Hey, congrats on that thing you just did!” But why would you let it affect you in any other way? I think we are so used to comparing ourselves to one another that it becomes natural to feel behind. And you better believe this is elevated even more for us overthinkers. The whole “everyone is getting married and I’m over here just eating a pizza and watching Netflix.” But why is that bad? Or even good? Your path is just that, YOURS. So don’t worry too much about where other people are going.
