How much thinking is over-thinking?

THAT is one of the most under-rated questions of all time. (Says who? ME! Hence it is as reliable a statement as any, believe it!)

Just a few days ago I over thought over a situation and blew things so out of proportion that i almost choked my brains out! Then i decided to finally 'woman up' and talk things out with the said people. and that is when i came to this realisation :

So basically, i lost my sleep over practically Nothing. 

In my defense, Spiderman too goes through such phases, so..i don't know.. maybe..MAYBE these are some of the limitations that come along with being awesome?.. (Don't shoot please! i was just trying to be funny, i swear! (: )

Anyway being 'me', i did not end the matter there. i went on thinking about all those times when i over-thought and did not clear things up with the concerned people. Perhaps i would have had more friends in my life then. How different would my life have been?
Then i went on and on and on about it. In fact, my brain was so deep into it that it was sending me the following signal and refused to undertake any new chore...

That's another thing. Solitude for me is more often then not followed by a period of despondency. Because :

And when i think :

I literally cover all horizons of the situation in my thought process. and I am talking time travel okay. I become a freaking time lord in my state of cerebration. It's like my mind hops into it's own version of a Tardis and goes places that surpasses all boundaries of time and dimension. 

Hang on, so does that mean The Doctor was not the last of the time lords after all?... (with my limited knowledge of Doctor Who, I should know better than to make a reference of the same. so let me apologize from beforehand if i got that fact wrong!)

When I finally came out of my intellection and step into the real world, i was like :

Needless to say

It is exhausting and depressing to the core and mostly an utter wastage of time. It took a minute for me to fathom the reality. That everything that i 'just' went through, did not really happen and can not either since i am way past that phase. And every time i come to the following conclusion. Without fail.

And every time i promise myself that i will keep calm from next time on and not waste my time over-thinking things and think twice before going through that whole process..but, whatever.. wow, look!

that's it! the following gif explains exactly how i feel at such times :

Hell yeah, Mind Condoms!

I am pretty sure that I am not the only victim of my mind. Ever so often people fall prey to their on own thoughts and get caught up in the baseless mess that they create for themselves. Ego follows and it restricts the person from talking things through with the people in question. In turn it leads to misunderstandings, miscommunication and fall-outs. (Now do you realise why I called it an under-rated question?)

Although I must admit, not everything about over-thinking is annoying. Remember how I said that I think left, right, backward and forward and every other direction that my brain can find? While it is tiring, it does help in broadening my perspective on that issue! Surely that's not a bad thing!

Guess what i am trying to say is that, their is a limitation to everything. Key to a proper lifestyle is to strike that balance.

Which is why we need Thought Police!
About time they become a thing, huh?

Until next time then!

P.s. - With the way things are going in this country, freedom of thought is probably the only right that is left for the common people like us. May be i shouldn't jinx that by talking about "thought police" too, right? Peace out! ✌
