The connection between overthinking and identity is particularly significant. People do not only think about events; they think about what events mean about themselves. A failed interaction can become “I am bad at relationships.” A mistake can become “I always make the wrong decisions.” A rejection can become “Something is wrong with me.” These statements are broader than the original events. They turn isolated experiences into conclusions about identity. Breaking this pattern involves learning to separate what happened from what the event supposedly proves about the self.
