The point that I make with worry and 'should' is that if you tell yourself you shouldn’t worry – apart from this being futile – it actually results in worrying more. If you tell the brain it “shouldn’t” worry, it will attend to the thoughts more intensely. Especially now that we are in the peak age of technology, being left on ‘read,’ ghosting, and other technology-related behaviors can make finding love much more complicated. Even so, Kristen Ruth Smith does not think love is doomed.
Much like crossing yourself after walking under scaffolding or freaking out about a pair of Stan Smiths being placed on your kitchen table, worry can be understood as a superstition. Using wit and real-life experiments in her own quest to find love, Smith writes about the process of finding love and reveals hidden insights into our lives, how to stop overthinking in love, and uncover the fun in dating and romance. In one of the funniest and most insightful books on overthinking, The Overthinker’s Guide to Love offers a beautifully balanced story and hard-won lessons trimmed with data and science. The most effective strategies for worry, in my experience, are the strategies that challenge the meaning of the thinking,' says Smith. 'Increasing awareness of the rationality of thinking is very helpful. Ensure that your thinking is grounded in fact/truth/reality and ask yourself if this type of thinking is helping you.' This is a book of questions with answers, over-answers, and Did I screw up? How do I achieve work-life balance? Do I have too many plants? Like a conversation with your non-judgmental best friend, Michelle Rial delivers a playful take on the little dilemmas that loom large in the mind of every adult through artful charts and funny, insightful questions.

With the negativity laid out, I am a severe over thinker. I go crazy prattling on in my mind about something simple and insignificant. This overthinking could have started with a conversation I had that I felt went negatively and explode to why I have no friends. This is dramatic of course, but has unfortunately happened. It was nice to hear this was normal and more common in women. I know if I tell my boyfriend or father about something I am worried about they think I'm crazy and weird for worrying about something so trivial. It is as a result of these superstitious belief systems that people create a physical and emotional fear (your fight/flight response),' explains Smith. 'However, you can believe that you are a fortune teller – but that does not make it a fact. Hence, beliefs are not facts.' 3.
