Something can appear to be one thing when it is really another. This image may seem like it was captured in Santorini, but the photo was actually taken in Egypt. Likewise, someone can give the impression that they are a confident and carefree individual even though they lack self-belief and are affected by anxiety
I may appear to be cool, calm and collected in some of my photographs, but it is likely that I was worrying about looking foolish in front of other people. Because my mind constantly over-analyses everything, simple acts such as walking along a busy street, sending a text message or engaging in small talk become overly complicated and tiresome activities. These events are then replayed in my head. The curse of the overthinker!
@aschmitz but what if they already read it? Or don’t have read receipts on so I can’t tell if they read it? Or what they assumed I had said is way worse or more inappropriate than what I had said?
Sometimes we don’t stop feeling, we just get too full to process.
Came across this reflection about what happens when information overwhelms empathy. It’s not burnout. It’s something quieter.

I wonder if chains-of-thought I'm getting from these so-called reasoning AI's when I give them challenging combinatorics puzzles are exhibiting the characteristic #overthinking described in this recent publication

Remember that your #overthinking is not in this or any year’s budget so there’s no way you’re getting paid for the work you’re putting into it
I worry about my job and finances.
Even though everything is under control.
That’s the problem with overthinking—it doesn’t care about logic.
Today's example of overthinking occurred when a tradesperson who is working on the house next door was sat in his van outside my house. Illogically, his presence stopped me from charging my phone (the socket is near the window) and from bringing the bins back in. This was because I didn't want him to think that I was spying on him (I wasn't!).
I would say that this made me a prisoner in my own home, but it was more of a case of being imprisoned by my own mind...again
Was thinking about writing an essay on overthinking ...what do you think about the idea ?? Should we disregard it or take its importance seriously, do we miss out by not doing so, or do we waste our time & energy engaged in it ??
Is overthinking good, bad, or is maybe overthinking actually goldilocks ??
I think I may have a lot to say about the topic of #overthinking & lengthily it is not clear-cut or even very simplistic - & what's more I have a lot to think over about it before I even begin...
