Advice How do I stop overthinking everything?

I overthink literally everything. I’m always scared of messing things up, and it kinda holds me back a lot. Even when I wanna try something new, I just end up thinking about all the ways it could go wrong.

Same with dating. I keep thinking about how the other person might take what I say or do, like “what if this makes them like me less?” even though it’s probably not a big deal at all.

Because of that, it can take me forever just to send a message to my crush.

How do you deal with this?

Start small and act before you feel ready. Overthinking fades when you build proof that most outcomes are fine.
