When is Thinking Possible? Overthinking?

We think as human beings. We are, therefore, thinking. But at what point is thinking unproductive? What is overthinking? Heidi You may be surprised at how many times you are guilty of overthinking.

Worrying:

This is the type of overthinking we’re probably the most familiar, and it’s usually phrased as “what if.” Worry is not based upon reality, probability, or fact. It’s based on fear and typically takes a scenario and focuses on a terrible outcome. For example, instead of wondering, “what if my project goes gangbusters successful,” you worry, “what if my project falls flat and the company pulls the funding”?

Rumination:

This type of overthinking is a type of repetitive thought you can’t seem to shake off. Two types of ruminations can be distinguished. (1) Depressive rumination—engaging in negative, repetitive self-focus. For example, you might dress more casually at dinner parties than your colleagues. You also spend a lot of time internally criticizing yourself which can lead to distorted thinking. Depressive rumination can quickly turn into a vicious cycle. (2) Angry rumination—which typically takes the form of blame. You might do this by replaying the words of an argument over and over again in your head. This can lead to anger and even adding evidence to your argument. This can lead to aggression, resentment and distorted interpretations.

Cognitive distortions

This type of overthinking leads to mistakes in thinking that can lead to excessive or unneeded emotional reactions. Cognitive distortions, also known as overthinking or habitual thinking, can make it difficult to evaluate a situation objectively.
