I am a thinker. I don't believe there is such a thing as 'overthinking': what most people actually mean by this, is worrying. If a person is thinking rationally, for instance, to solve a problem, then after reaching a logical conclusion, they cease pursuing that solution; continuing to question the validity of one's solution after following the reasoning process rationally to its conclusion, is not thinking but worrying and means that a person's problem-solving is riddled with emotion. In that case, they haven't actually arrived at thinking, let alone 'over-thinking'. So, whoever invented this word 'over-thinking' was probably not thinking in the first place...
