What Is Overthinking?

Overthinking is dwelling on thoughts that may not reflect reality. It’s the trap of imagining scenarios that are neither real nor likely to happen, yet reacting emotionally as if they were.

A Simple Example

Imagine someone says something unclear. Instead of letting it go, you spend the night worrying:

• “Were they talking about my past?”
• “Are they planning something against me?”

Meanwhile, the person is asleep, unaware of your turmoil—all based on assumptions.

Overthinking in Relationships

How It Affects Marriages and Commitments

Overthinking often damages trust:

• “Why didn’t he answer my call immediately?”
• “Why did she receive a message from that colleague?”

These doubts create suspicion and destroy relationships. Digital communication has exacerbated this trend.

Older generations rarely struggled with this problem. But today’s youth, constantly exposed to social media and online comparisons, face it daily. Constant scrolling breeds jealousy, suspicion, and fear.

• Disconnect you from God’s calling

An mind lives in the past or future, never in the present—where God’s blessings await.

Overthinking thrives in isolation. Talk to God like a friend:
