I used to overthink. But in my experience, people who overthink end up with the wrong answers just like the people that don't think at all. Just use your intuition and trust it; it's not stupid. I had to learn that the hard way because I thought intuition was just stupidity.
I agree with Shareese. Also people who overthink tend to stagnate developmentally, because all the second-guessing essentially causes inertia. They don't know what the "right answer" might be, so they don't know what to do and become indecisive. One thing I've learned the hard way is that when you overthink, it's possibly a sign that something is still confusing you, and that you don't really have the knowledge or experience to resolve the lingering problems in your mind in a straightforward manner. If you are lacking experience, the only way to fix that deficiency is to move on and continue to live life. Then in the future, when you are hopefully in a better position mentally, you can revisit the past issue that once caused you to overthink, and may find the issue much more tractable.
