Overthinking Kills Your Happiness Novels & Stories

“You can be a happy man, but right now, you look too happy and I am afraid to ask what the reason is,” “Patrick, don’t worry,” “Oh, but I am worried, I am worried that I already know why and your happiness might make me lose more brain cells than I have already lost.” Patrick was such a killjoy, the man needed to fall in love so that he too would know what it feels like. “I don’t know why my happiness means you lose brain cells,”

Why am I so depressed? Shhh. Stop Sena. Stop comparing yourself to the deceased. Always keep in mind that comparison is the thief of joy. STOP RIGHT NOW!

Sean is by your side. Your husband was never too busy to make you feel loved. Do you feel unloved? If this is the case, you may succumb to your sadness.

I needed to clear the air on that so that she wouldn’t think she had to. “No no no I promise. I’ve felt this for a while and my overthinking made me push everything to the back of my mind in fear of being played. I’m sorry. I really should give you more credit. You’ve stood by me even through the adversaries. You make sure I’m happy and comfortable even when we are fighting. I love that. I think I’m ready to throw all that overthinking to the wind now. I can’t continue with the what if’s anymore because I’m not only hurting you, I’m hurting myself because I’m depriving us of the bliss we could be having.” She narrated.

I hate being me sometimes. “You always overthink everything. Maybe for once in your life, just stop. Look at this in a more basic way. Who can you not live without? Who do you fantasize about?” Nate leans back against the window and cradles his beer, looking down to the side and the girls for a moment as I stare at him. He watches them intensely and smiles my way when I take too long to respond.

Joy becomes temporary. So eventually— they stop fully experiencing happiness. Not because they don't deserve it. Because they fear losing it. But eventually— another truth quietly emerges: protecting yourself from future sadness often prevents present happiness too. I shifted gently into the network. Not condemning caution. Just naming another painful truth honestly. “You are allowed to enjoy something beautiful without immediately mourning its ending.” Silence spread immediately. Several aware patterns became painfully still. One whispered softly— “Yes.” Another added quietly— “I think I spend more time worrying about losing happiness than actually experiencing it.”

To be happy without me. The decision should bring relief. Should feel right. Instead, it feels like dying.

"I wanted to make you happy. And looking at your reaction right now, it was totally worth it." My eyes widened. Why was he doing this? Why now? His voice interrupted my thoughts. "Stop questioning everything. Stop thinking so much." I sighed. "I can't do that." His expression became solemn. "Why can't you just let yourself be happy for a change? You start overthinking every good thing that ever happens. It's like you don't want to be happy anymore." My expression hardened. "You don't get it." "I don't get what? That you're afraid of happiness?" He demanded.

Why can’t it be anyone else to uncover this ugly side of me? "Henry is still at an age where he can forget you.” Christopher begins after he exhales. “He'll cry at your funeral, yes, but the tears will be over by the time he turns fifteen.” What? “That’s in the case of a normal death. If you were to kill yourself, he wouldn't get over it. He would never get over it because the only thing on his mind would be delusions that he could have saved you from yourself, but he was incapable. Do you understand what I am saying?"

"Do you know when people want to die the most?" This time,I became more cautious.I propped my face with my hands and asked. "Isn't it at a time of sadness and despair?" "No.Everyone likes to say they're happy to death!So when people are happy,they will tend to think of death." "That's baseless and unreasonable."I snapped. Dylan beamed at me."But it snapped you out of your bad mood,didn't it?" I smiled."Dylan,you're so so thoughtful."

I think that anything bad will happen and we can not think clearly if both of us will freaked out. Instead of thinking about that stuff again, I cleared my mind and put positive things inside of it. It is not good for a person to have negative things in mind. Also, thinking negative things and false scenarios inside your head will not bring you joy. It will be a burden and will add to your sadness instead.
