Existential Comics

Now I have two problems, the original problem and the problem of why I’m thinking of something as a problem when it wasn’t.

Then there are no problems since any problem can be thought of as not a problem. But the real issue is that thoughts about external circumstances are not the same as the consequences of external circumstances.

Thinking is the problem

True, but you still have the problem of not thinking that it's not a problem. It can be easy to stop thinking that, or sometimes, very hard.

And if you tell people their problem will go away if they just stopped thinking it was a problem, you're part of that problem.

hm, don't fully agree. problems are experiences in interaction with situations. changing your perspective can actually chabge that interaction, for better or worse.

Ah! The ostrich method

If your problem stops because you stopped thinking about it then your approach towards problems is completely wrong

Not any more, no.
