This makes the assumption caring how your words affect others is “over thinking”

But honestly, i think it’s different for each person. Some people really do get crippled over-thinking what others might think. Its good for them to stop doing that and just speak out.

But for others, (like myself) whose natural disposition is to not even think about how words might affect someone, its not overthinking, it’s actually just thinking. Adding a step.

Ah I see.

Yeh there are definitely some people who don’t think about the 2nd or 3rd order effects of their words.

Probably related to narcissistic traits

I dont know if its narcissism per se. I care alot about people. But in different circumstances, i will only think about whether something is true or not, and will just say it.

You would not believe some of the things ive said in different situations 😂. For me the process has been learning how to wait, or add a few more words to not just blow people out. Being married to someone who knows me and laughs at it has helped.
