How does one keep overthinking things? How/ why does this happen?

I'm that way. I tend to get in the details I just have to figure it out type deal. It gets annoying but I have to know. Even if it hurts I have to know the truth...

@TheLoveAge:
The best way to get out of it is distracting yourself which is a very practical strategy that we all use sometimes you need to find something else to do or think about to divert your attention.. Talking to a friend, watching a funny video, reading, or music can do the trick 👌

@WhoTheF: I do that stuff, I really do. I'm just too curious for my own good sometimes🙂🙃

@TheLoveAge: lol
