Overthinking can make you do crazy things. However, the problem of overthinking isn’t limited to common people but has also influenced global celebrities. Jackie Chan would be the perfect example of how a simple thought can lead to major insecurity if not taken constructively. 

Overthinking has become a common practice, since people now have multiple sources of information that confuse them or scare them, at times. The marshal artist had also gone through a similar incident. In Jackie Chan’s autobiography “Never Grow Up”, he described a small incident that robbed him of his sleep and made him restless.

Jackie Chan lost confidence in his health after meeting his son

In a section of the book, Chan described his insecurity and fear of growing old. He once started thinking about his old age which freaked him out. He believed that over time, his effectiveness would decline. When he first met Jaycee Chan, his son,  after a long time, these insecurities developed.  He was shocked after realizing just how fast time changes. He stated that he had trouble sleeping the following evenings.

The overthinking pushed him further into thinking about his life after death. He started dwelling on the conditions of his death. “I imagined myself lying underground, eaten by bugs” Chan added. This made him decide that he would want his body to be cremated.
