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.

@K10vvn. She does sound like a young adult with (not sure empathy is the right word here) but sensitivity for sure. I was exactly where she was in life, and it took a long time before someone convinced me to try the course. I was nearly 30 before I did, and then wondered why I had spent so much of my time wondering why people said what they said, how I should have responded, do these people actually like me or is that just me wishing.

I am not trying to push anyone into anything, just passing along something that I found very helpful. My life was better after the course. I guess it isn't for everyone, but it could help, and it can't hurt.
