    Overthinking consists largely of repetitive, unhelpful, and untrue thoughts.

    “most of your thoughts aren't new, they're repetitive, they're cycling. Two, most of your thoughts aren't useful. They're not looking at ways you might fix this problem. They're just replaying a certain scenario again and again and again. And three, the most important part is that most of them aren't even true.”
