and analyze yourself in social settings?
Even when I'm with close friends, I'm analyzing everything in my mind.
For example, I think :"did I sound to condescending"? "did I sound stupid"? "Should I have said it"?
I wish I could just let go and have fun with people instead of ruing it by over thinking and then regret what I say or do.

I am constantly thinking to much and questioning myself when it comes to social interactions in any way: in person, on facebook, email, etc. Always wondering if people are thinking badly of me. I think it has to do with the low self esteem that has resulted from my current depression.

Gawd Yes!

Sometimes I have to tell myself to "STOP IT" out loud before I run myself of the rails with it!

Another one of those "learned" behaviors I'll eventually overcome ... I Hope!

Yes. Ever since I was a kid. I never thought I got anything right. Always feeling like I've done something wrong even when I didn't. Or said something wrong, when I didn't. Always feeling guilty for no reason at all.

The way I describe my mind to friends is, "I think about everything. All the time."

[possum220]

I have been told I think too much. Its really hard to stop. When I am trying to get to sleep my thoughts go into overdrive.

All the time. Even on the internet.

I am constantly deleting/editing posts or even out right not typing responses I want to make because I'm worried I'll do something wrong.

[Alone & confused]

Always!! My mind never rests! I even get suspicious about certain people and obsessively wonder what THEY are thinking.

[Nightside of Eden]

Yep, yep. I'm always thinking and overthinking, mind-racing. I read social cues very carefully and probably over-read them at times, seeing more meaning than is really there (sometimes I joke that I have the opposite of autism, being constantly over-attuned to social cues instead of missing them).

[Deepblueskies]

Yes that happens to me. And it always happens before I go to sleep and then I can't fall I sleep. I just think about everything and it hurts my brain

[SeekerOfLife]

Yes I think too much. But it comes in the form of ruminating. I replay conversations and what I did. Or what I could have said or done.

[Deepblueskies]

Yes I do think too much. It doesn't happen often around people but at night when I'm suppose to sleep I think about everything which could last up 3 hours . And it makes me get a headache and feel depressed

All the damn time. ¬_¬

[Verity81]

Yes I over analyse every aspect of my life but especially my social relationships. I feel it's part of being highly sensitive.

Yes I am always thinking .. rethinking and in my own head trying to work things out!

[zapatoes]

Yes, all the time, sometimes it’s a good thing, other times, maybe not.

[bpcyclist]

It's very hard.

[Anonymous42019]

I can overthink sometimes, yes. I try not to, but night times when anxiety usually runs high, overthinking tends to go into overdrive.

[Sunflower123]

Always overthinking.

Blanche Overthinker Dubois. "Overthinker" is my middle name. If it were an Olympic event, I'd take the gold medal.

[mote.of.soul]

A lot of the time, yes. I worry. But I think I'm getting better at just letting go and moving on.

[Mountaindewed]

Yes way too much. I could have been a lawyer with how much I think, and the way I think.

[InsomniaViaHaldol]

I over think things all the time. I will bring things up I think or notice about certain situations to my wife and she will be completely unaware of what I am going on about.

I find I care way too much what people think, or rather, decide for myself what they are thinking.

For example, I was in Michael's yesterday using a 10 dollar gift card - I am an artist and that is my favorite store. I have probably spent a couple thousand dollars there over the years. My last purchase was a very large purchase of canvases and paint. So I get to the counter and I am expecting a bill of about 12 or 13 dollars. It ends up being 10.05. I don't carry cash and so did not have a nickel. I joked with the cashier about having to charge 5 cents to my debit card and how I wish I had a nickel and that it was going to be a weird charge. She replied "Well, it's almost free".

I thought to myself, first it's not free, I had a gift card - money was spent. Second - did I come across as cheap? And as I was driving home, I was thinking to myself how she probably thought I was trying to wiggle out of the 5 cent charge when I was just joking with her. Most people don't get my humor. So just an example about thinking too much.

I guess it is apparent in the length of this reply as well...

[Uncharted]

I do overthink and analyze pretty much everything too. I analyze myself and other people that I meet, face to face or online. A lot of the time, people dont like the things I say cause they are a result of my thoughts, like I've analyzed them early in my head making me be ahead of them and I might say something that will make them surprised and scared I think. Honestly it is annoying sometimes but at the same time it makes me feel like I'm ahead of others if that makes sense.
