Questioning Perceptions: How Overthinking Can Lead to Misjudgments

Overthinking often distorts perceptions, leading to subjective interpretations that frequently misjudge situations as good or bad. Initial anxiety, perceived negatively, can stimulate deeper self-connection, while achieving conventional success, such as becoming a doctor, can detract from one's true self and exacerbate mental distress. The constant memorization and immersion in a medical environment can decouple individuals from their physical and emotional realities. Recognizing that personal narratives about good and bad can trap one in a fixed mindset is crucial for healing. By failing to question existing perceptions, individuals miss opportunities for deeper understanding, effectively living in a repetitive cycle without growth.
