If you don’t know something then you do nothing about it. If you overthink about something you don’t know about then you do the wrong thing.

Overthinking makes you waste precious energy doing something irrelevant. Ignorance can even be good sometimes.

What if your goal of your overthinking is to simplify in a way to comprehend better. It’s probably all the same. But I overthink. But not through might. But through grace. If that makes sense. Even tho my song I said it was the opposite.

Idk I think it’s good to overly think about something. But best to have a quiet mind while you’re doing it :joy: I mean thinking is inevitable. My mind used to go blank when I had bad anxiety and I had to drive. Ten seconds would go by I wouldn’t think a thought. And that was not helpful. It’s just good to think In even kinda increments but be fair. Reminds me of a hip hop song. You don’t always rap every single drum beat but it’s a good idea to sometimes. Sometimes you say more than just words……to the beat. But if it’s intriguing stuff you’re saying. Well it doesn’t matter. But if it’s garbage it ruins everything. Haha well I like this metaphor !

I tend to overthink things too. I call it thinking too much. For me I end up worrying about things I wouldn’t worry about otherwise. It usually happens when I’ve been isolating. I guess for me sitting around and wondering about things usually isn’t all that good.

Now you got me questioning. Jk. I’m not the smartest person ever but that’s a word no one’s ever accused me of being. Ignorant. Open minded=Lack of ignorance

I try almost too hard to be open minded in the past

Overthinking is a kind of ignorance. It’s just jams you up.

Ignorance and overthinking are not mutually exclusive, you can have ignorance with overthinking especially if you overthink like i do without research: just thinking about things as related ideas enter my head. I find that my mind is more disturbed now than when i first started taking medicine and the disturbance is caused by thinking. I do enjoy thinking but not being able to turn it off at will is tiring. But back to the main point : I overthink out of pure ignorance and after thinking for days on a subject I might do some reading and find out everything I think about it is wrong or at least not the conventional understanding

Thinking just right Is that anything alright?

I’m just saying. No one is totally consistent with their thinking’s. I overthink sometimes. I under think others and others is more balanced. But the beauty is it’s like a song imo. :notes: well life is just a musical act according to Alan watts his metaphor
