Present and amounted for.

I'm not saying I like it, it's just the way it is.

[–] dumbass@aussie.zone 42 points 5 days ago

You all have a single spot where this happens?

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

All of the above? Also, not just public places. Wherever I'm not actively doing something, there's at least three thought irons in the sleepless fire. 🤷🏽‍♂️

While trying to sleep. And it often ruins my sleep. And I fucking hate it. Has already happened tonight, in fact, regoing over shit from the day that sucked.

[–] RiceMunk@sopuli.xyz 24 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You have places where you stop overthinking?

[–] higgsboson@piefed.social 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Pharmaceutical intervention and/or complete physical exhaustion are all that have ever really worked for me.

My trick is that drugs are the only thing that works. Even complete exhaustion let's me ponder that for a few hours before sleep 🙃

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 days ago

All of the above and more!

I think most clearly when I’m lifting weights. The rest of the time it’s like a combination of SpongeBob and Patrick chitchatting 24/7.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 19 points 5 days ago

All places, all times. 😔

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 days ago

Need option 5. On the shitter.

Everywhere, Everywhen unfortunately.

They forgot on the terlet.

Walking the dog is missing

[–] AceOnTrack@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 days ago

I don't think

[–] SpiceDealer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 days ago

Everywhere, all at once.

it's always public spaces. being among people gives me all kinds of weird thoughts. it's not just public spaces either, it's anywhere where there's lots of people, including school, work, friends meetup.

[–] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Every place I can't pull my phone out to turn off the brain.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 4 days ago

Before sleep. Always. Sometimes in public transportation, too, when I don't have anything to read or watch on my phone

[–] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH 7 points 5 days ago

Smooth brain empty mind

[–] Beebabe@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Before sleeping. Except this can occur for hours.

Lately also while playing katamari.

[–] BootLoop@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

Nah, I watch Star Trek while washing plates so no chance of overthinking there. Oh, and on the train. And before sleeping. I do not while showering though so probably there.

[–] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It was the dishes and public spaces before i got earbuds and twenty-seven podcasts to listen to.

It was before sleep until I started taking edibles before bed

It was the shower until i got waterproof earbuds

Now I just overthink while I'm trying to have conversations with people

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Offload those pesky conversations to a LLM and give that brain of yours a rest, pal.

[–] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Wherever the realization that average life expectancy for me is 80 and I turn 40 next year hits me.

[–] BogeyTheSwear@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Fuck childhood, you've been an adult for 20 years. You got 2x the time you've been an adult left, go work!

I mean I am but fuck does the ticking of the clock become deafening sometimes.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I don't overthink. I think exactly as much as I'm meant to. Just because you're forced to waste time doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you.

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 2 points 4 days ago

Must be nice knowing you don't overthink.

[–] birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Forgetting walking in the woods. But it's overthinking in a good, peaceful, nigh meditative sense.

[–] adhd_traco@piefed.social 1 points 4 days ago

Yuuuup, I have that while doing yoga alone or trying to meditate.

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

When I'm looking you in the eye

Any time I have to handwash anything, I think "Why in the fuck did I not triple check that this was dishwasher safe, I should buy a dishwasher safe one so I don't need to waste time standing over the fucking sink doing what a hunk of metal could save me the time doing, and more efficiently to boot".

Showering is either a power fantasy or dread.

Before sleeping is definitely dread.

Public spaces is "why in the fuck are so many people so fucking nasty".

[–] porkloin@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Big agree. Either hand wash all or dishwasher wash all. To live in between is to suffer

[–] glorkon@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

As a general rule, I overthink everywhere. But the only time I actually have helpful ideas is when taking a dump.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 4 days ago

Pubic spaces ftw! The societal shun protects thee.

All 4 I can’t stop

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 2 points 4 days ago

I don't really have control over it, this is why I go take long walks/jogs. I keep ruminating for a good chunk of the exercise, then comes a point when I enter the flow and stop thinking. I just look at the landscape breezing past me. Immobile, rolling a ball the size of a planet under my feet. At last, the thinking stops.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Primarily while driving

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

When being flat, so before bed. I'm too busy in the shower trying to scrub down and the water sounds erase thought. Same with dishes. Human sounds erase thought in public. The bedroom is quiet. Too quiet.

Usually when I’m having a threesome with two swamp donkeys.
