Are you an overthinker? Do you second guess yourself on every decision that you make and does your second guessing sometimes lead to decision-regret?

We all have moments where we overanalyze a situation. Perhaps you can’t stop thinking about everything you did and said in that job interview or maybe you’re focused on what the possible reason could have been for that breakup that took you by surprise.

It’s difficult to make an immediate decision and to not wonder if perhaps you made that decision too quickly and that you didn't consider everything you should have before you acted on it. If you’re not completely on board with an action you took, you may consult your horoscope because you find yourself thinking about it for days, months, and even years. Why did you break up with your partner, sell your house, or not invest in that stock?

If decision-making doesn't come easily for you, you may find yourself taking forever to decide and then afterward not being satisfied with your decision. You wonder if you really made the best decision. Were there options that you should have considered that you missed?

It's good to think about things in your life and ruminate, but at some point, you need to let things go. You can’t focus on a mistake you made that you can never undo or beat yourself up for not taking advantage of an opportunity when you should have.

You wish there was a formula for good decision-making so that you’d know how long is the proper amount of thought. And at what point does thoughtfulness turn into overthinking?

You may give so much weight to your thoughts and think about things and issues so much that it can stop you from taking any kind of action.

You're an emotional overthinker. You think about past relationships a lot — how magical they were, how horrible the breakup was, and what you should have done differently.

You are definitely one of the zodiac signs that overthink the most. There isn't anything that you haven't studied from every angle and haven't figured out the possibilities and the probabilities. You need to research every problem and every outcome. Since you're extremely self-critical, you think about everything that you do and say before and after you do and say them. When you can't solve a problem, you'll go back to the beginning and retrace the steps, overanalyzing all of them.
