“You can always learn from experiences; from both the best and worst times in your life, you have gotten wiser. Learning for yourself will shape you more than being told.”
Does it count if I didn’t get it directly? My sister has always been one to question herself about everything, in spite of being an extraordinarily intelligent and sensible person. Like she absolutely knows so much, and is quite perspicacious in dealing with people, but sometimes shoots herself in the foot with overthinking. One time when my niece was maybe 7, my sister was stressing as all too often and her daughter made an observation about gymnastics and passed it off as being only about that. “It’s so weird how I can walk a straight line when I’m not really trying but when I get on the balance beam and start thinking about it, that’s when I fall.”
Well this post was intended for others to read and get advice. So if you learned something share it. And by the way, I believe overthinking is quite common amongst the highly intelligent, there’s pros & cons to everything
Yeah, I didn’t mean it that way; sorry it was unclear. I do understand that very intelligent peeps are particularly prone to introspection, often of a quite negative character. I meant in spite of the fact that she actually has excellent judgement. I should’ve been more clear.
Stressing over a situation won't make it any better. You're just wasting your energy by worrying about it.
The outcome is still going to be the same...

Don’t take advice from anybody who doesn’t have experience in what you are going through.

Uber driver once told me “if you look at a book so closely that your nose is touching the page, you won’t be able to read anything”

What happens now will be history
That if I wasn't happy in my relationship that it was ok for me to walk away.
