Do you over think?

Because I definitely do. Whenever I'm given an opportunity, I over think. Whether it's in case I fail or if I succeed. It doesn't really effect my work now tho because I'm so used to it or maybe because I have built a bit of self confidence after other's encouragement and of course some of the successes helped me develop it too.
However, now this over thinking has got me to a point where I get over confident and start thinking of all the good that will happen when I succeed and it leaves me with disappointment in case I fail. Tho now I am working on it. I hope I get better.
So do you have this bad habit of over thinking and what do you do to avoid it?

I used to overthink a lot.
I found that when I'd write down my thoughts on paper that were going through my head over and over, it would help stop me from overthinking.

I used to do that and then I found myself reading what I wrote over and over again.

@Starmaiden lol I do the same. I read my stuff so many times that my mind becomes numb.

but sometimes this overthinking spoils our plans so it is better to let things happen as they unfold rather than making it complicated
