- You’re not overthinking. You’re over-managing
You’re not overthinking. You’re over-managing
It’s not that you can’t decide. You’re just trying to control how it’ll look.

A lot of what people call “overthinking” isn’t indecision
It’s image management
You don’t feel stuck because you don’t know what to do
You feel stuck because you’re trying to control how others will perceive the move
You want the next step to be clean
Understandable
Justifiable to people who don’t live with your consequences
So you wait
You rewrite the email
You second-guess the pitch
You stall on the launch
Not because you’re unsure
But because you’re afraid to be misunderstood
That’s not strategy
That’s emotional drag
The irony is, the longer you delay the decision
The more you fracture your self-trust
You’re not protecting your reputation
You’re just outsourcing your clarity
So here’s the shift:
Stop trying to make the move look right
Start making the move that is right
Not for the algorithm
Not for your audience
For the version of you who’s no longer willing to stay small for the sake of being palatable
When your clarity is tied to perception
Your power stays capped
Decide anyway
Cleanly
Quietly
Without needing permission
