How does an Overthinker Think?
Let me paint a detailed picture-
1. Messaging someone a lot-
Oh my God, I have sent him/her 20 messages and the replies were only 18. Did I seem too desperate? Lonely? Did I seem too available? Oh no, is he/she now making fun of me?
2. Caring for someone-
Am I being too pushy? Is he/she not understanding that I want the best for him/her? Is my attitude becoming very annoying? Oh no, is he/she going to stop hanging out with me? Am I being too clingy?
3. Opening up to someone (First of all, this is like an ongoing battle for us about whether to open up or not)
Am I sounding overdramatic? Am I wasting the other person’s time? Am I bothering him/her? Am I boring? Am I oversharing? Am I being judged? Are my problems and feelings not really that big and I am making those bigger issues unnecessarily? Am I being a pain in the ass?
4. Applying for jobs/opportunities-
Why should I get it? I am not at all capable for it.
Why should they take me? Who am I? What do I have? Why should I even try
5. After receiving appreciation/recognition-
Do I really deserve it? Or is the person/entity just being nice? Should I really be happy? Or should I be scared that it may just go away?
I go through this. Every Minute and Every Day.
Those who are relating to this, I feel you.
Those who are not, try to be kind to us, please.
