Contrary to Popular Belief There Are Benefits To Dating An Overthinker, Insightful Twitter Thread Breaks It Down

The common trait of overthinking in relationships has recently been skewed as a negative trait. People that overthink can generally cause problems in a relationship by pointing out issues that are not present. A lot of this comes down to trust. If an overthinker is satisfied with the communication between them and their partner, then it is likely they will stop overthinking.

Many users felt that being an overthinker was a bad thing. In reality, overthinkers can be great partners to have! In the thread, Twitter users explain that overthinkers bring reassurance and consideration of their partner's feelings, which can create a stronger relationship. Users also began to point out that being an overthinker could be as simple as being very clear and communicative in a relationship, thereby addressing a lot of the common issues seen in a relationship.

Instead of looking at overthinking as a difficult trait in a partner, it is better to see all of the ways that overthinking represents greater care about a partner. Also, if your partner is causing you to overthink, it might be best to think about where the inconsistencies lie, and if communication can be improved.
