Yes, I worry about things that haven't even happened yet. ::
That's really good. Hopefully I can do the same thing, too.yep.i'm an overthinker.getting better with that though.instead of searching for a deeper meaning behind what people say and do,i'm trying to take it as it comes.
You make a good point. Thinking about it is probably counter-intuitive, though. ::I guess the whole reason I brought this up is because I come to this forum and I'm immediately weighed down with a million questions about everything under the sun. Prompted by the countless topics, I immediately begin analyzing every moment of my day, my past, my potential future, every aspect of society's intentions, the meaning of life, on and on and on and on...I'm not criticizing the forum, I'm just saying that, for me (and I suspect others on here) it is not always healthy to be bombarded with these constant instigations to think back, to reflect, to drudge up bad memories or even good ones. That is why I sometimes disappear for months at a time, only to return and get sucked back into the cycle.
I'm not trying to make a point or anything, I'm just, well, thinking about it, haha. Over thinking my tendency to over think things.

I think my post count and the amount of time I've been here is answer enough.Haha. Maybe not, though, in this case. If you realize that these things are causing you to think too much, you actually CAN press the "off" button, so to speak. I'm not saying everyone should abandon the forum, but perhaps if anyone realizes it causes them anxiety too, that may give them the power to have some control over whether or not they let that anxiety into their lives.
I know I need to cut back.
Mostly I like shiny things

This. I can't help but to imagine what the other person is thinking about me. It'll keep running through my mind even after they leave.I'm constantly thinking. Especially in a social situation. My main concern is how am I being perceived by the person I'm talking to. I'm constantly fiddling with my clothes to make sure things aren't too out of place. I'm always tugging at the bottom of my shirt to reassure myself that my umm skin isn't showing. that leads to me biting my lip, counting the time in which I blink, laughing nervously when no one else is laughing, biting my nails, sitting up straight (even though it kills my back. ouch!), and never knowing what to do with my hands. Needless to say... things just never go well for me...
How i prevent info-overload from this site & web, is to try only open pages that i "have" to look at now (those that are especially interesting/relevant), else i bookmark them to maybe look at down-the-line, when got time/energy. And i try coming here every day, to keep on-top-of all the new posts/threads (so dont get behind with)I guess the whole reason I brought this up is because I come to this forum and I'm immediately weighed down with a million questions about everything under the sun.
