Why Should You Live in Reality and Leave Your Fantasy Behind?
I must implement the decision, but how?
The idea of living, in reality, seems impossible for many of us [overthinkers] because of the unpredictable life events. We want to live a happy life that is full of fairy tales, and we are the hero of it.
Believe me or not, but I was an extreme overthinker. Living in my dreams makes me feel way good than dealing with daily struggles of life.
I was completely unaware of my overthinking habit until I met my overthinker friend who was like me, but she used to overthink more than me. I can say that she was on an extreme level of overthinking.
Everything changed after that event. I started to question myself as do I want to become like my friend because I was half into overthinker habits like her.
At first, I was amused to have a friend who loves to think, but it suddenly changed everything in me.
Also, I have another habit of observing others. Like what others are doing in their lives, are they happy with what they are doing, their work according to their age that can pretty much tell me a lot about what I should do in my life and what I must avoid? So, I do not end up making the same mistakes as others.
