Yes.
Wait, you guys can stop over thinking?
I definitely overthink before sleep, I’m relatively calm in the other places you listed. I never thought about where/when I overthink before, thanks for giving me a new way of framing overthinking, I will try my best not to overthink it
Try mindfulness meditation. It has helped me get reins on my running mind, especially when I’m trying to sleep.
I used to meditate alot and it has helped, using headspace in the beginning but I stopped some years ago. On the bright side I overthink much less than before but meditation couldn’t hurt and would probably help
all of the above
And more!
At my desk, at the gym, at work, during therapy, watching TV, eating, at the club, while reading, so many opportunities to overthink!
I wasn’t prepared for this question and I’ld rather wish you had directly thrown a wrench to my head.
…
Okay.
If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge existential dread.
I can’t dodge wrenches … I also can’t dodge existential dread
The five d’s of
dodgeballlife: dodge, duck, dip, dive and dread!Have a Lemmy gold 🏆
I thought it was just: dread, dying, death, decay, die
Before sleep and while driving… Harder to have an endless stream of distractions to interact with during those times.
There’s a place you don’t?
Washing dishes is the place of least overthinking, mostly because I have to put something in the background to keep the thoughts at bay. If not it’s constant.
Public spaces and my face cannot hide my thoughts.
I get some strange looks
Everywhere?
Yes.
It’s probably because you’re not distracted by a phone while doing those activities, and your mind has space to think.
For me its when I’m sitting on my bed after showering and getting dressed
Yes.
Before sleeping. It also always makes me think of this song
