Some food for thought...
Heard this term earlier and loved it - “head trash” – it’s the voice in our head that convinces us that we are right in our thinking, even when we very well could be wrong.
Made me wonder if this is just a natural byproduct of being an overthinker or is it our ego subconsciously protecting us or something else?
Funny, “Head Trash” to me is all the mental clutter I have! 😁
I overthink everything but assume that’s a Virgo thing. ☺️. My challenge is that I look at so much research (100s of sources) and have so much experience; while I’m open to change my mind if presented with other evidence, the issue is that I’m not often presented with other evidence (most people really don’t have any good data), so somewhat ends up reinforcing my position as “correct”.
Or, it’s my ego. All plausible!
