Obsessing over the Things You've Said...

Yes yes yes. I'll think about it like 478947398773 times, thinking about what I COULD of said, what I SHOULD of said, how I said it wrong, how I could have done it better, blah blah blah blah. That's probably part of the reason I have resorted to not saying anything anymore, because I will obsess about every little thing that I said.

i constantly have this ridiculous need to please everyone i meet. i cannot even force myself to appear rude to anyone!

i think it stems from my desperate need to get people's respect and blend into society.
 
Yeah, I am basically super paranoid. Like I will always say the wrong thing, they don't wanna hear what I say. I won't say it right. They will use it against me, or I will say somethign bad. Pretty stupid but I can't stop obsessing!
 
Hellz yeah I do! That's like the basis of my SA. Even if I have a nice conversation with someone, I start off thinkin it went well, but then start thinkin about what I coulda done better, what I didn't do right, I start thinkin what I said was stupid/boring or whatever...It's a downward spiral and it makes me feel horrible!!

The worst thing is when your talking to a smart arse who insists on finding way to belittle you. One thing i hate is when someone asks me something and i gove them a simple answer then they ask ''Why?''.....And i'm then cornered because how the hell should i answer?

I'm terrible at making conversation and sometimes i say something which is conversation killer, you know something which can't be answered....A close ended line. I remember feeling uncomfortable in the company of a girl and i said something to try to start a convo, and i knew after saying it that it was stupid, and she just said ''And?!''...I was mortified and i could feel myself sinking back into my shell feeling so stupid and inferior.

Everytime, everything i speak i'm thinking if its not foolish or offensive, that's a major turn down to me because, i generally can't keep a normal conversation.

I just think everything i will say will hurt someones feelings, i can elaborate a total absurd logic on how me saying hi to someone will ofend somebody.

I always obsess over what I say. I will think about if I should have said something differently, how the other person would have responded if I did say something else, etc.
