Why Do I Still Overthink Everything? | Emotional Intelligence (Emotionally Intelligent Reflections)

Do you still overthink everything, even when you know better? In this video, I talk about emotional intelligence, overthinking, and why self‑awareness doesn’t always quiet the mind. Overthinking isn’t always a lack of confidence, sometimes it’s a sign of emotional intelligence. In this episode of my It’s Complicated series, I reflect on why I still overthink everything, even after growth, therapy, and self‑awareness. This video is for anyone who: • Thinks deeply about everything • Feels mentally tired from self‑reflection • Is emotionally aware but still anxious • Wants growth without shame This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about understanding yourself. Topics Covered: • Overthinking and emotional intelligence • Why awareness doesn’t always bring peace • Being thoughtful without being hard on yourself • Learning gentler self‑talk If this resonates, you’re not alone. Welcome to the first video in my Emotionally Intelligent Reflections series. A series about growth, feelings, and becoming yourself without rushing the process. 💛 Subscribe for emotionally intelligent reflections 💬 Comment if this felt personal Music from Uppbeat (free for creators) Track: Scarlet by Realizer License Code: 60GEFQWTXOHA7EE5 Music from [no copyright music] In Dreamland cute background music / aesthetic lofi |Chillpeach #emotionalintelligence #overthinking #peacefulmind Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 0:50 Knowing Better Doesn't Automatically Mean Doing Better 1:40 Overthinking isn't random, it's a coping mechanism 3:08 Why I Overthink Personally 4:46 The Lie overthinking tells us 5:39 What I'm Learning to do instead 7:06 Outro
