Does excessive introspection necessitate eventual anxiety?

I have a phobia of spiders. It's not to the degree you think, maybe I unintentionally exaggerated, I mainly just often feel like bugs are crawling on me(such as spiders) when I can't see them, which causes me to check and make sure none are, but it's not a huge deal. I'm guessing you've experienced this too. Feeling like something is on your back, when you aren't paying attention, but checking and realizing nothing is there. I shouldn't even have mentioned it, it's probably not a result of the subject you addressed.

Maybe i'm just a very sane person, I don't know, I just like to think a lot, but have no trouble bringing myself back to reality, and distinguishing thoughts of the past/future from those concerning the present. So I apologize, I just don't/didn't understand the extremity you are implying that overthinking can cause.


Just to clarify, I think the issue I have where I feel like spiders, and bugs are crawling on me is more of a personal issue, that may be enhanced by the "awake" like state that my brain is always in because I think so much, but not a result of it.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

The more questions you ask, the more you realize that disagreement is inevitable, and communication of this disagreement, irrelevant.
