Knowledge is rubbish and understanding is a gem. Rubbish is a heap of irrelevant thoughts. which are not useful for us and need to be disposed of. Because surrounded by them you will lose your self-identity.

What is overthinking?

Overthinking is the art of creating new problems that never existed. Events of past or present create problems when you repeatedly think about them.

Overthinking is too much thinking when you think about a thought or situation for a long time. And your mind dwells on it. You think about it again and again.

That thought might be about your past unforgettable achievements or losses. You cherish the moments. Different angles of a situation you conceive and you feel happy when a thought evolves.

Your thought process is, how it happened and what were its possible solutions.

For example, you faced a catastrophe in childhood. Your thoughts haunt you most of the time as a helpless and compelled child. You are still living in childhood.

When you are stuck in a single thought your brain is unable to move to another situation. Thus it becomes paralyzed. It is wholly or partially incapacitated. The function of the brain slows and a ditch is created between you and your present situation.

Everything gets topsy and turvy. You derail in the daily track of life. An unbalanced situation leaves you in distress.

Overthinking blurs your self-identity and self-image.
