➡️Things Only Overthinkers Will Understand #overthinking #overthinkers #personalpower #joanneantoun

It’s not “just overthinking.” It’s how your nervous system learned to protect you.⁣
⠀⁣
Overthinking often isn’t about indecision.⁣
⁣
It’s a survival strategy dressed as perfectionism.⁣
⁣
It’s your mind trying to create safety in a world that once felt unpredictable.⁣
⁣
⁣
🌀 You replay moments because your body never found closure.⁣
⁣
🌀 You crave certainty because mistakes never felt safe.⁣
⁣
🌀 You over-analyse “OK” because silence once meant danger.⁣
⁣
🌀 You rehearse words to avoid rejection before it lands.⁣
⁣
🌀 You apologise to feel less “too much.”⁣
⁣
🌀 You say “yes” because it once earned you love.⁣
⁣
🌀 You doubt compliments because self-trust is shaky.⁣
⁣
🌀 You over-plan because control feels like safety.⁣
⁣
🌀 You solve problems that don’t exist—just in case.⁣
⁣
🌀 You relive the past because your body’s still there.⁣
⁣
🌀 You overthink to find peace… but peace lives in presence.⁣
⁣
⁣
The real you is buried beneath layers of stories that were never yours to carry.⁣
⁣
⁣
And when no one ever taught you how to feel safe in stillness,⁣
thinking became your way of coping.⁣
⠀⁣
⁣
🌀 This isn’t about fixing you.⁣
⁣
It’s about meeting the version of you that had to survive this way.⁣
⁣
⁣
The one who learned to think ahead to stay safe.⁣
⁣
The one who thought silence kept the peace.⁣
⁣
The one who mistook exhaustion for accomplishment.⁣
