When you talk about overthinkers, and Harris is not mention in the discussion, then, that equation is not complete, and it needs a touch of Harris to make it complete
As I like to classify them, there are different type of people. We have the free ones - these set of people just live without allowing anything disturb their mental health. We have the normal people, the moderate thinkers and the over thinkers. Moderate thinkers are in-between free people and moderate thinkers.
Me? the category I fall under is not listed above. I am an extreme thinker who always want to know - the why, the who, the what, the where, the when, just name it. Most times, I even go as far as doing physical investigations and putting one and two together just to get the answers I seek.
There are many events that have made me overthink quite a lot. During one of these events, I had to stop, which made me care less.
Many people say that humans have no super power, but i say; relationships will help you uncover your super power. Here is my story.
Just like every other relationships, my previous relationship started with love, joy, laughter, sharing things with each other, telling each other everything, and so on, but when i discovered that my super power was over thinking was when my trust for her broke. The love was there, but the trust was not.
I trusted her a lot. There was a time when my friend told me something about her, he said that she's quite cheap to get but he respects me, that's why he refused her advances. I was very furious with him cause' I thought he was lying. I was even ready to place a bet, if he wins her, then I will give him an amount, but if he loses, he will give me the same amount. Thank God the bet did not take place if not, I will be sipping a lost bet and a broken heart.
After the incident that broke my trust for her, i became restless.
I was asking myself a lot of questions, cause' she didn't give any tangible answers to my questions. I wanted to know basically everything.
I became a detective. When she goes out, my body hairs rise as my brain-work begins. Where is she going to? who is she going to meet? why? All these things and more, will be constantly going through my mind and heart. But then, when i thought of it, I realized that I was gradually fading away into the arms of depression.
It was just me and my thoughts. I had to visit the hospital because I began to have constant headache and a mild insomnia. The doctor diagnosed me of having psychological stress and he gave me some advice on how to manage it.
Since I did not develop high blood pressure during that time, I don't think I will ever develop it.
After a while, I became laid back. I paid no mind to her actions and just wanted to have my peace of mind. It was hard to achieve this, but I did, and guess what? I found happiness without her. We later broke up, but up till date, I still think of it, but then, the realization of the fact that there is literally nothing I can do about it, has helped me cope.

I was reading and looking forward to see you mention relationship and immediately, I burst into laughter 😅
Relationship is not for the weak.😅
It's a lot of stress to over think. I really wonder how you guys do this thing, I prefer not to if it would stress me so much. I might fall under the category of a moderate thinker.
Besides, it is sometimes hard to build trust again after it has been broken.
I never knew you look good in person and you don't look like you are thjnkin
