Over Analyzing occurs when the critical thinker part of you forgets to switch off, perhaps through stress at work or at home or through an illness such as depression. Instead of the positive critical thinker skill being at the fore front of your mind, this is replaced by the negative over analyzer who cannot let go of the need to look at everything from every angle before making a decision.

A positive critical thinker will use their skills to find solutions whereas when, in times of stress this turns into negative over analyzing the person finds themselves unable to make decisions and/or think clearly. This turns into self destruction and can severely damage self esteem and self confidence.

However, if caught early the critical thinker in you can learn to recognize the over analytical side take steps to manage the situation.
