...You describe a character's thought process as you RP to ensure that every little thing they do makes sense.
...You want to start a plotline so you spend numerous weeks planning every meticulous detail so that each character has a specific place and time for each event that will happen in rapid succession. Every NPC has a name and a purpose. There's no room for error, ...or apparently those annoying moments whenever your character suddenly has a will of their own and totally throws off the plotline you planned for weeks in advance. Shit. And then you're scrambling to straighten out what will happen in future events of the plotline now that your own RP characters screwed it up... and it just keeps snowballing.
(Moral of the story: flexibility is key
)
...You create a google search history worthy of a criminal record because you have to make sure a character who's been inflicted with a poison that causes organ failure behaves appropriately, and it is imperative that you know the stages of a decomposing body in detail or else the murder victim's identities will get discovered and your character becomes SOL.
It's just the little things
Basically, I am very guilty of overthinking just about anything whenever I am RPing. I regret nothing! /o/
