Paralysis by Analysis: When Critical Thinking Becomes a Curse
Overanalyzing decisions isn’t just a bad habit—it’s a crippling life condition affecting millions of overthinkers daily.
Symptoms of Paralysis by Analysis
Experts warn that those who think too much may experience:
? Spending 20 minutes trying to pick a cereal.
? Reading 47 product reviews before buying socks.
? Rewriting a simple text message 17 times before sending.
Meanwhile, non-thinkers confidently choose whatever cereal, socks, or response feels right—and they’re FINE.
The Cure? Stop Thinking.
Studies show that 80% of decisions don’t actually matter. So why waste time analyzing them? Instead, experts recommend:
? Making snap decisions and sticking with them.
? Using coin flips for major life choices.
? Replacing “Should I do this?” with “Eh, whatever.”
Thinking deeply is for suckers. The quicker you decide, the happier you’ll be.
