The phrase "stop overthinking" is a thought-terminating cliché (i.e., a thought-stopper), expecially when said by those who spend their existence constantly underthinking. How about stop underthinking, and start thinking.
Following on from yesterday's post, in the evening the tradesperson returned to the house next door. Our kitchens face each other and there is only a low fence between them. When I was doing the dishes, I looked up and we momentarily locked eyes
I didn't want to close the blinds, as he may have taken offence (according to my warped mind), so I finished the washing up with my head down for the entire time. I simply could not risk making eye contact again!
Feeling I've been fediversing a bit wrong by not boosting enough. Now hesitating to boost at all as since it feels more significant given the rarity .
Going to try to raise my rate of boosting in future from "nearly never" to "low". Noting it's possible to hide boosts if it gets too much . Boosting does not imply endorsement.
This announcement does not affect my policy on starring of cat pictures. I am compelled to star them, especially if they have alt text. #overthinking
Spinal Tap's backstory obviously draws inspiration from a lot of bands, but I always thought the particular arc they followed drew a lot from the Kinks. The big difference being that the Kinks had one of the greatest songwriters rock ever produced, but there are other parallels.
Arg, how do I dress when going into a school to work with teens, definitely not wanting to give off schoolteacher vibes but not wanting to go "trying too hard" either?

Thinking too much, too deep, too hard…
...thinking till it hurts... I've heard of the expression "thinking till it hurts", and I always thought this was true, not just a saying. Of course, recent studies are proving that hard mental thought work can indeed be painful... But when I was growing up, I think it's was more of a saying than a proven fact. (but I'm no expert, so I can be wrong, this is how I experienced it). But yeah, I always experienced it this way, and with the (then undiagnosed) spicy-nesshttps://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2025/01/18/thinking-too-much-too-deep-too-hard/
Feedback I get during the prep or doing process risks triggering my insecurity and overthinking, which leads to delays and stalls.
Feedback coming in after launch comes in at the right time -- when I've launched, acquired some data, and recognized some of what I know I can do better, so I'm truly ready for and receptive to feedback and ready to learn for the future
This is a huge light bulb moment for me.

Constant brooding and overthinking often lead to things being questioned that don't need to be questioned at all.
The ball is still there.

@TheBreadmonkey @isotope239 Welcome, GentleBen, to our first meeting of people thinking about having a meeting of people who overthink their involvement with social media.
Considering YOUR twt, Eye think your behavior may be very similar to mine, but Eye'm going to have to give it some more thought.

I think a lot about this Kind of Stuff... #overthinking #adhd
OK so I get new #seeds, put them in a seed starter mix in little pots, sit them on heated pads — weeks go by, hit or miss sprouting, often nothing.
I take old seeds, say what the hell, toss them directly into previously used soil in the large pots I ultimately want to use expecting NOTHING, and 1-2 weeks: sprouts!

Mendoza is a terrible manager. Bringing in Winker in will cost them the game. #METS #overthinking
I read a cute, easy fantasy/romance earlier this year about found family and doing the right thing. Lovely stuff.
There was a character who adopt a bunch of kids, lovely.
BUT one of the kids was a gnome, 200 something years old, and only half way matured. And she was adopted by an ordinary human person.
And at no point did the author mention how that was going to work.
So now I'm haunted from time to time by the idea of a child whose parental figures just age an die, over and over, while she watches on.
