I totally agree with your thesis here! I’m an over thinker and get earworms all the time!!

I had no clue Beck was singing “Soy un perdedor” either!! I would always sing something like “I walk in the door” lol 😂 Now I’m going to have to go listen to it with the proper lyrics!

I am also full of negative self talk, of which “idiot” is the most frequent. Just started working more on this with my therapist.

Great article. And I like how us smart, open-minded and humble people are really intelligent folks (I need that validation!) My negative rehash is/was Joan Jett's 'I Hate Myself for Loving You.' Hate is strong word and I hate using it...But then after I've had a crappy boyfriend, I question - why hate myself? I should be hating him much more than me. Then after that song comes a turning point with Tina Turner's "You Better Be Good to Me." I could go on with the relationship ups & downs songs, so I'll just stop right there, before I go any further.
