I Think Too Much

It sucks to have 'sensitive' as a personality trait. I'm constantly reading into what people say, their body language, how they feel about me. Someone can even tell me point blank and my first reaction is why? What made you like me? Is this a ruse?

Sometimes it gets so bad that I try to shut down my brain with sleep or distractions just to stop questioning why my SO is in a relationship with me or what I could have done to avoid an irate customer at work or why did I have to fall for a scam.

Thinking too much is an understatement. I ruminate and toil with my problems and other peoples problems and thoughts about me. It's exhausting. I wish I could rewire my brain to stop.

@Serenitree I definantly might, and this does come off as insecure, but I am sensitive. I didn't bring up the emotional reactions as I should of.
I do have insecurities, but I have gotten to a point to where I can communicate them and they disappear relatively quick. The problem is well after when I'm left alone with my thoughts, I ruminate and can't let go, even after reassurance and me feeling good about an insecurity.
