“Overanalysis” is sometimes used by some people to describe essential analytical thinking — the kind that leads you to correct conclusions. Because thinking is not convenient for them (perhaps because they have something to hide, usually lies or situations they do not want you to uncover), or simply because they have become accustomed to staying on the surface of things, engaging in superficial conversations without substance. Of course, I am referring to normal situations of analysis, and not to genuine excessive overthinking without cause, logic, meaning, purpose, or any usefulness. So analyze events, people, and situations, because analytical thinking — healthy analytical thinking — is what helps you reach the right conclusions and leads you to truths.
In general, “overanalysis” can open your eyes to many things: from possible cheating in relationships, “toxic” friendships, to social, economic, and political situations… So feel free to “over-analyze.” Now, if there are people who prefer to have around them individuals like “Peggy Kara,” the character with the distinctive role and much-loved actress in the series “Kωνσταντίνου και Ελένης,” and therefore do not benefit from you thinking critically, that is their problem, not yours… Anyone who tells you not to “overanalyze” things is nothing but manipulative. And if not always, then most of the time.
