Uh. Who said I was thinking. Exactly what is thinking? What's your perspective on it.

I mean I got a lot of muscle memory and self awareness, but what is thinking.

Because you folks have been jumping to conclusions without giving me any reason or evidence to follow you.

If that pisses you off, and I hope it does, go ride the most intense roller coaster and see if what I said doesn't make sense. Because a lot of you smart people aren't making sense.

Say something smart, don't bore me with rhetoric.

You can train your self to not overthink as much and medical interventions can help if for example adhd is involved. It's about the ability to choose where to put your energy and what trains of thought you'd be better off just leaving and just throwing the ticket in the trash.

Now if it's overthinking or not is subjective. Does pursuing the line of reasoning in question distract you from more important things? Does it hurt you without leading anywhere? Has your exploration gone so far that you've lost perspective? Is the solution you have good enough and any further improvements you might find is not worth your time? Are you working on too little data so even if the reasoning and assumptions are good in the end it's still not much better than a guess?

But there's certainly merit to making an informed decision which comes with thinking about it.

Overthinking is just a lack of practice, and the more you do it, the more you'll be able to refine your thought processes to the point where you can just make a decision with minimal time wastage.

Congratulations! I’ve been off opiates since October 22 2022. It hasn’t been easy but I have an amazing support system. I’m so glad I got clean. My life before was the same but being a junkie really made me see it completely differently. I’m proud of you and just know you can do if!

Bullshit, sleeping on big decisions has saved me so much money and effort over time. If I’d decided on which house to buy the first week I was searching for houses I’d be stuck in an area with low capital gain and honestly excessive pricing.

By taking months to think and see more and more houses I got a great understanding of the pricing of my city and a contrast of pros and cons. I got an great value purchase thanks to that.

Here’s another absolute advice:

  • Don’t believe any absolute advice, as life is complex and requires a multitude of perspectives and techniques, no one key will open all locks.

Haha I said astrology. Astronomy is also super cool. Idk where you are but Local observatories and meetups that usually set up events night viewing events. Bunch of high powered telescopes and the dome telescopes if an observatory.

You’re welcome! Happiness is always within, we have to see it.

My nextdoor neighbour just found out he has cancer both lungs and his brain at 69 ! Also suddenly diabetic 2 .

He found his girlfriend dead on the lounge floor so he's been a grieving dry drunk for about about 5 years now but his whole life went the booze went . I am amazed he hasn't reached for the bottle , as he's terminal, like another neighbour(67) who got a bottle of wild turkey and hung himself 1 year after giving up the grog .

Both drunk very heavily for too long , did a lot of damage, and couldn't find an alternative lifestyle as they didnt have any firm experienced SUPPORT !!!!! I know of others also - a hidden stat and a joint is illegal .

So you need all the determination and bloody support you can manage to scrape up .Pour the shit down the sink or you go down it . NOW ! No ........ around . You can survive this .

That’s awesome! I’m the same age this summer. Some view it as stupid or don’t understand, and choose to remain in the ways they are, that are not self fulfilling.

Meditation, astrology, etc is all great to learn some tools. But at the end of the day focus on yourself. Everyday. How you talk to yourself. The grace you give yourself. Be that parent to yourself you always wanted/needed.

True to some extent, but I do think it's low risk that someone will take this post at face value and literally not think before doing stupid things. FWIW I do think the quote is crap and an oversimplification of what it's trying to say.
