Overthinking has become my default setting
0 support0 reactions0 replies
I don’t think I even notice when I start overthinking anymore. It just happens automatically.
A simple message can turn into 10 different interpretations in my head.
If someone replies late, I start wondering if I said something wrong. If someone sounds different, I replay conversations trying to figure out what changed.
It’s exhausting because I know most of it probably isn’t real… but it still feels real in the moment.
I try to distract myself, but my mind just comes back to the same thoughts again and again.
It’s like I don’t trust situations as they are. I feel the need to analyze everything.
And honestly, it’s taking away my peace more than anything else.
I don’t know how to stop doing this.
Has anyone actually managed to control overthinking, or is it just something we learn to live with?
What the author wants right now
I just want to vent
Best replies here sound like: “That makes sense.” “That sounds exhausting.” “I can see why this hit hard.”
