How can you deal with overthinkers?

Subscribed to find out how to deal with myself

Honestly, dealing with overthinkers can be tough. I sometimes find it frustrating when they get stuck in a loop, but I remind myself to be patient and understanding.

I try to break things down into smaller steps for my colleague.

Dealing with overthinkers requires patience, empathy, and effective communication. You can try supporting overthinkers in managing their thoughts more effectively and fostering a more productive and positive mindset

First we have to listen and support by hear them out patiently. And then trying to tell them to focus on small steps. Reassure them that it’s okay to make mistakes. Suggest them to try meditation or deep breathing. We can also share alternative views. Then recommends them to take breaks if needed. Lastly, if its getting worse, recommend them to seek professional help if necessary.

Are you talking about people around you who overthinking or your personal nature of overthinking?

I believe everyone has a process, and overthinkers tend to vary off of the process quite often than others. That again is a boon and a bane in a mixture. How do I deal with them (and me)? Show the end goal, give a stipulated time, and let em' be. They'll come around, if not, they'll improve. Overthinking is great if applied in the right direction. So, I try to channelize that to full extent 😬😅

I’m an overthinker. I take walks gain clarity and talk through the problems I’m facing with my myself that I’m overthinking or if it’s ideas that i need to simplify. Take them on a walk

Not a popular opinion here. But I prefer to avoid overthinkers. Being an entrepreneur is hard by itself, I try to stay closer, motivate and be motivated by runners and the changers, instead of feeling stuck with overthinking in any forms.

Coming from an overthinker > Let them be. Sometimes you only need to listen and validate. It's not always about providing them with an action plan.
