Overthinking kills happiness only if you don’t know how to use it properly. Chronic over thinker here and I have many situations ready in my head. I’ve saved many people from injuries and robberies because I overthink everything and I found flaws in certain situations.

I was also ready for the pandemic 3 months before it was declared a pandemic because I overthink and had understood that the epidemic in China will soon spread throughout the world.

Just don’t let it cause you anxiety. It took me 3 years to control anxiety.

If you're using thinking properly, you're not overthinking. That's why "thinking" and "overthinking" are separate words.

You can channelise overthinking to serve you basically and then it becomes a super power of sorts that will still waste a ton of your time and energy but will lead to something

Is it possible to learn this power? Right now my overthinking is on all the time, so it helps me a lot but also hurts me a lot.

Can you elaborate on some of the "many people you've saved from injuries and robberies?"
