Hi, its' me again! Haven't posted for a while since I was too busy dealing with my school and work errands. For today's blog, I will share to everyone on how I take overthinking as a sensitive type of person.
Technically, being sensitive is frustrating and somehow disturbing. At some point, you see the world with rainbows and ignores the chaos making you believe that no one should be harsh enough to attack your emotions. Well, your emotions can sometimes be confusing depending on how your inner state took a certain situation. In that case, it'll result in overthinking.
Talking about the overthinking, others say it's dangerous while other says it's an advantage. Dangerous, yes indeed. Overthinking can really destroy your state of mind and being. It is the root of all negativities especially if you yourself doesn't know how to control it. Overthinking may lead to serious situations if not managed. Wherein, you found yourself so happy for a moment then suddenly overthinking thing after you heard anything related to your inner self or your aspect. By then, your mood will be destroyed and will let you wonder how things went wrong at that very moment.
Overthinking, if left unmanaged results in the worst-case scenario. Based on experience, it destroys relationship with friends or even your love life. One simple situation mixed with disturbing yet unintentional topics will lead the mind to think and question your own self even if it was never meant to be that way. It cripples the weak heart to the point that you're almost breaking inside out. The state where you ignore almost everything because all you know is that it hurts you a lot without knowing that it's your intrusive thoughts who are killing your emotional state. The feeling is deep, and it feels like drowning in the pool of your own tears because you burst things out from the inside. Definitely not an advantage for a soft-hearted person.
Well, that's it being a disadvantage. Basically, overthinking is serious and should be assessed and monitored for it to not get any worse. So how does overthinking is sometimes an advantage? Well, me as that sensitive person who to admit that is super in overthinking sometimes takes it in a good way. Overthinkers usually thinks outside the box. Take for example an argument. Between a person who's in a clear state of mind against an overthinker, the non-overthinker usually respond based on what they can only see, hear, and learned. It's like answering the questions with direct analyzations using the references that they've come up with.
Meanwhile, overthinkers tend to respond differently. In terms of "outside the box", overthinkers' response contains a lot of conclusions, considerations, and analyzations that built not just based on what they've heard, saw, or learned. Thus, their responses contain more than expected. What overthinkers do is that every response has its' own analyzation and defined conclusion whether if it will be a root cause of something negative or it could be a solution to resolve the problem or conflict. To do this, overthinkers listen and observe very well to every response they've heard from the other person. Then, each answer and information are analyzed accordingly, and all considerations are being checked one by one.
This falls to the "what if" statement that provides a possible resolution alongside a conflict to be considered along with it. And it's not just that to define the advantage of overthinking. One thing about it as well is that overthinkers can prepare themselves to possible situations that will either harm themselves or what to expect. Though, most of the time, overthinkers mostly proves themselves right in certain situations (e.g. Friendship or Love issues) through critical thinking and serious analysis of situations that involves feelings.
From that matter, either the overthinker doubles the pain when proven right or saved itself from the betrayal that was up ahead. Relating myself to that since a lot of times that it has happened to me already and I definitely knew that at least I got the enough time to prepare myself to the impact of what betrayal form is coming.
Well, of course right now I found myself happy and stable since I learned on how to managed the thoughts and kept being silent about everything. That made me rediscover those who are worthy of my companionship and trust and with that, I'm proud that I was able to surpass that moment of darkness in my life. So, if ever anyone out here is also dealing with this thing, please do not ever give up and choose to be happy always. Choose your peace of mind and be aware of your surroundings. You never know that there's a snake around if you'll not open your eyes.
