I over-analyse things way too much. This can be with anything; things in real life, like my own emotions and how I react to things or what other people do, or it can be about something fictional, like a cartoon or movie character. I get headaches often when I think too hard about a person, thing, or situation. Perhaps it's just my autism; I like to make sense of things so my brain thinks about every little detail about something that's important to me, and my mind can't rest or relax until I've thought so hard about something that I just get stressed out and start feeling really bad, so I just cry and end up needing a hug from someone, all because my mind was thinking way too hard about something that perhaps wasn't very significant.
I also do things like cause something that could have been easily avoided if I was better at thinking ahead. It's usually just silly mistakes, but I make myself feel really bad about it. I'm an extremely honest person, which means that I completely hate it when something goes wrong because of something I did that was an accident. Of course my loved ones understand this, but it's not nice when unnecessary stress is caused because of one of my silly mistakes. I know this is probably just a natural human thing that most people go through, and it's part of life so I should just get over it, but I wish I was better at being helpful rather than just being a big emotional goof. I know I'm not perfect, so maybe I'm just being too hard on myself.
Does anyone else struggle with this? Maybe we can help each other out <3
I'd be happy to offer some advice.. Or at least have a little chat?
