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.

I say empathy because she is reading others body language and feelings in an attempt to understand them. This is the first para. The rest if it is just personal embaressment or turmoil imo.

The firsf para is an example of really good mental health and empathy even if its adding to unhealthy invasive thoughts. Many people nv even think to look at their involvement from others point of view that often. It may also means she is able to see herself critically from their shoes.

But ur motivations are sensere serenitree. I didnt mean any disrespect.. I just didnt see where u got undeserving. That is a very normal feeling as well..
