1
I've wasted 23 years of my own life before I realized thinking about my life was keeping me from living it.
2
I'm currently in Barcelona and something I've been thinking about is the difference between reflection and rumination.
3
What makes someone an overthinker?
4
How do you deal with it?
5
Is there even a cure?
6
So I want to share my thoughts.
7
Here is Thought Daughter Travels, overthinking in Barcelona.
8
Act 1.
9
Reflection vs. Rumination.
10
They look identical from the outside.
11
Both feel like thinking hard about your life your life but reflection ends.
12
You think about the thing, you get somewhere, then you stop thinking about it.
13
But rumination doesn't stop.
14
It's the same three thoughts on a loop and the loop convinces you you're doing something productive because it's about something important.
15
There's a psychologist, her name is Susan, and she spent her career on this.
16
Her research found that rumination feels like insight while making people worse at solving problems and more depressed.
17
I think this is like the perfect definition of overthinking
18
because honestly every single time I overthink about something I always feel 10 times worse than how I felt initially
19
and I never arrived with better solutions I never arrived with
20
a clearer answer I just arrived feeling 10 times more stressed anxious and unhappy
21
today I'm gonna have myself a good old shopping day I heard the vintage shops in Barcelona are amazing
22
and right now I'm actually in Paloma Wool.
23
I want to just experience everything that Barcelona has to offer retail-y so let's go.
24
I went to Paloma Wool earlier and they had no power so it was like super dark.
25
I didn't find anything but now I'm at Guimaguas and we'll see what we can find there.
26
Barcelona is actually so beautiful guys.
27
I feel like the architecture here is just so dreamy.
28
Like I know it's like gothic style architecture but it feels like whimsical gothic.
29
Like when I think of gothic architecture I think of Transylvania like really dark depressing
30
but this like gothic is just so beautiful.
31
It's so like pastel sometimes and there's also so many trees in Barcelona
32
so the nature with like the The architecture is just, oh, chef's kiss.
33
Act two, what makes an overthinker an overthinker?
34
I think I've genuinely just been an anxious overthinker my whole life and I've always wondered like, what makes me this way?
35
Why am I like this?
36
You know, I have friends that when something happens to them, they can think about it for a little bit, move on, make a decision, and just not think about it again.
37
But for some reason, I feel stuck.
38
I feel like trapped in my own thoughts, in this horrendous loop that just happens, and it feels like I have like no control of it.
39
So I actually looked it up, and there's more research from our dear friend Susan.
40
She finds that women tend to ruminate more than men.
41
She says this is because of socialization.
42
Girls get trained to monitor feelings and boys get trained to distract.
43
But beyond gender stereotypes, the biggest reason is belief.
44
Over thinkers think that overthinking works.
45
Adrienne Wells's research on metacognition found
46
that ruminators hold sincere convictions like analyzing this will help me understand myself and if I keep thinking I'll find the answer.
47
And personally I think one of the biggest causes is people who don't handle uncertainty well aka moi.
48
I think overthinking is really an attempt to gain control over
49
uncertain situations in your life whether it's job interviews whether it's relationships
50
and honestly just life in general there's so many things
51
that you just have no control over that really impact you
52
and that can be really really scary to not have control over things
53
so by overthinking something by really ruminating it by thinking about all the possible scenarios all of possible solutions,
54
you feel like you have this control over where your life is going to go when in reality you don't.
55
Act three, what do I overthink about?
56
I overthink a lot about relationships actually.
57
I think relationships are the type of thing where you truly don't have full control over it because there's another person involved, another person with their own perspectives, their own thoughts, their own opinions on how to live life.
58
I think it's easy to want control over how you want your relationships to play out.
59
Your friendships, your romantic, your family relationships.
60
I think everyone has, you know, like a conception in their head of how they want to be treated, how they want other people to feel about them.
61
You can't control your perception in the world.
62
You can't control how other people perceive you.
63
Yes, I am.
64
Yes.
65
Oh my gosh.
66
Oh my gosh.
67
One of my favorite lines from a YouTube video I made is from the video the fear of being perceived
68
and I said something like to be human is to be
69
misperceived to be human is to exist as a multiplicity an ever-shifting reflection in the eyes of others
70
and yeah I think
71
that like as you get older you just need to deal with the fact
72
that you can't control what people's perceptions of you I've always wished
73
that I could compartmentalize my feelings better I feel like when something is on my mind, I literally just can't do anything.
74
Like I can't focus.
75
I can't concentrate.
76
I often like can't eat.
77
I look at people, especially like my guy friends, and it feels like when something really big is in their lives and they have to go to work, they'll just work or they're hanging out with friends.
78
They'll just hang out with friends and they'll think about
79
that issue later and compartmentalize that to a very specific time of their life.
80
For me, it just like bleeds into my entire life, my entire being and it feels like these thoughts like literally flood every aspect.
81
I feel like these days I've been struggling a little bit with work.
82
As you guys know I make like these video essays
83
and everyone always asks how I come up with ideas for my videos
84
and honestly it's just what I'm experiencing in life at that point or what article, sub stack I found to be interesting
85
but I have been feeling not as inspired these days so that's why my uploads haven't been as consistent.
86
I'm hoping that being outside of New York in a new setting, you know, inspiration will just come to me.
87
Act four.
88
Why you need to get a life respectfully.
89
Rumination has a requirement.
90
Empty time.
91
The loop needs quiet hours to run.
92
Thoughts expand to fill whatever time that you give it, which is why I usually don't spiral when you're hanging out with friends and usually spiral when it's like 1am,
93
you're on your phone, alone at night, sleeping.
94
Thinking can't generate new information.
95
It only reprocesses what's already in your head.
96
Action is the only thing that truly adds new cards to the deck.
97
You apply, you ask, you go somewhere, and the world hands you information you never could have thought your way through.
98
So I think the cure to overthinking is to get a life.
99
Build a life that demands more of your attention than your anxiety does.
100
What inspired this video is actually this sub-sec article I read, The Art of Being Unreachable by Alexis McElroy.
101
Here's the first line.
102
There is something intoxicating about a person who is deeply occupied with something you cannot access.
103
There is a quiet allure to someone who is absorbed in their own interests.
104
They feel layered, self-contained, and slightly undiscovered.
105
And she goes on to explain the importance of hobbies.
106
Hobbies are not frivolous.
107
They are sanctuaries.
108
Hobbies are where desire goes when it no longer needs approval.
109
Spaces you create that belong entirely to you.
110
Where you manipulate reality, build worlds, master skills.
111
There is power in that.
112
And here's one of my favorite paragraphs.
113
A rich inner life quiets the need for outside attention.
114
The fuller your attention is on your own becoming, the quieter the hunger for external interest grows.
115
A rich inner life does not just make you more interesting, it makes you immune to the games, the breadcrumbs, the intermittent reinforcement that keeps so many people trapped in cycles of longing.
116
So this article is actually about why being unreachable, having a rich inner life makes you less interested in dating or like less desperate in dating.
117
But I feel like it really applied to like overthinking and just like being stuck in your own head in general.
118
I'm not saying that you should distract yourself from every difficult emotion.
119
I think reflection asks you to sit with your life, but rumination like asks you to stop living it essentially.
120
Like this video is truly just for people like me, people who overthink so much,
121
who are really anxious about a lot of things and are paralyzed by this like death loop of anxiety thoughts.
122
And I truly think the answer is to just get a life.
123
Go do things, go outside, hang out with friends.
124
These loops needs to be stopped because at the end of the day, they really don't benefit anyone, especially you.
125
I think for so long, I've let thoughts kind of dictate my life, let my like anxiety stop me from doing a lot of things and honestly fuck that guys.
126
Final act.
127
What does a rich inner life mean?
128
That is the ultimate question, isn't it?
129
Honestly, I think it could be anything from trapeze classes to watching Chinese dramas with your friends at 7pm every Friday night.
130
But I think for me at this point in my life, it is traveling.
131
Like Anthony Bourdain says, if I'm an advocate for anything, it is to move.
132
I've spent an embarrassing amount of time thinking about my life.
133
If you add it up, probably years.
134
And did it amount to anything?
135
No, nothing, except more anxiety.
136
Nobody ever ruminated their way to a good life story.
137
Nobody ever sat alone at 1am rereading a text 15 times and came out the other side wiser.
138
And meanwhile, every single thing that I know about people, about myself, about what I want, I learned by showing up somewhere.
139
And we've talked about self-awareness a lot on this channel on the trap of it, you know I think people can say that they're self-aware by over processing things But honestly,
140
it's stalling the world is out there completely indifferent to your analysis of it
141
And it's full of information that you can't get anyway until you walk into it and let life happen to you.
142
So no, I
143
Unfortunately, don't have a five-step morning routine for you to overcome overthinking I'm sure there's
144
so many better videos out there for you but I think the cure is much simpler and much harder than that.
145
Book the thing, ask the question, leave the apartment.
146
Your thoughts will be waiting for you when you get back.
147
They're very loyal that way but you'll be slightly different and I think that's the only thing that's ever worked.
148
So go get a life, respectfully.

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
