Long story short, I’ve always overanalyzed even slight interactions with people, but mostly when I feel they go poorly. Even someone being a tiny bit off with me compared to other interactions I had brings bad feelings. Due to some mental health stuff, I’ve withdrawn a lot from a lot of people which has made me feel a bit ashamed of it because it felt like a self fulfilling prophecy happening but I didn’t notice in the moment.
How do I stop over analyzing things? I feel like I need people’s approval or something or validation or idk. I did t get much of it growing up so that’s my theory as to why it’s happening now.
