I don't why but it reminds me of the quote from Jack Torrance from the film the Shining to his wife "you've had your all f**king life to think things over!" I seem to think I take too long to think about things that I worry about. I seem to feel as though in your 30s I should stop thinking about things in life whereas in your 20s you've got plenty of time to think about it.

When it becomes maladaptive rumination instead of just learning from past experiences.
