[c=#003BB2][i]Although, I overthink in general, my recent breathing "asthma" issues give me anxiety and panic attacks if I'm too aware of myself and my fears. What are yours? [/i][/c]

I overthink and analyze everything. I have two or three different scenarios running through my mind at one time. I will dissect things in my mind and put them back together. Every sentence every word. I want to feel what you're saying. I listen with the intent to understand. To me your words are very important.
@SW-User I am just like this and at times I envy people like my ex who don’t think about anything too deeply and is extremely happy at just living his life. His IQ May be lower but his talent at finding the best out of life far exceeds mine.
SW-User
@SW-User That sounds familiar to me. I'm not too sure I'd recommend others to "feel" what i'm trying to say lately though. The right words convey power and the ability to think usually. That's why I prefer people with a deeper and broader range of thinking makes me think too.

@Dionysus Don't envy those, try and think the way they do. They call it "mindfulness" and living more in the present and enjoy the moment. I've been told to practice it lately due to anxiety so I am. Doesn't mean they got a lower IQ to me though, they just enjoy here and now, rather than tomorrow and the next.
@SW-User It’s a beautiful perspective to have and I always appreciated it.
SW-User
@Dionysus I hope to start appreciating it better. It's for self development in the long run. Nothing else. My mum lives like that, despite all of her problems and insecurities and lives far more carefree than I do and for that I really admire her.

@Dionysus I've been around people just like that as well. I wish I had the ability to shut my thoughts off at times. Many times I think and worry myself into a headache.
SW-User
@SW-User I can totally understand what you're saying.
SW-User
@SW-User I wish people could understand me more. But they don't. I tell them I'm going through "things" and they don't even ask me what's going on. Then tell me, can you blame me for isolating myself at all?
SW-User
@SW-User That's horrible of them. So many people lack empathy in this world. As long as it's not them they don't care.
SW-User
@SW-User Yeah. But I found some people who cared who are very close to me. On the other hand I'm using self help and techniques to pick myself up as quickly as I can. Sorry for the late reply. I forgot my laptop on, and I need frequent breaks.
SW-User
@SW-User It's quite alright😊 I sincerely hope things get better for you.
