I think you’re mistaking being driven to perfectionism and doing things in a meticulous manner by anxiety with overthinking because of anxiety. If you’re burdened by perfectionism you usually find a solution in a well organized way.
Because when you truly overthinking something you don’t get a solution and just end up confusing yourself with self contradictions worrying about the outcome, you don’t really get a solution when you overthinking things.
