When I overthink, it usually turns out to be me misunderstanding little things, and thinking that my friends hate me; which pairs just lovely with replaying it over and over.
My high standards and expectations were "I consider you my best friend and I want to talk with you at least every other day", but man was that not okay... Apparently that's being too emotionally reliant on them, clingy, needy, ect.

@trueconfidant123 I like this. It highlights the positives of a trait that is often put down by others. The misrepresenting one though, I think I do actually misrepresent myself sometimes unintentionally. I’m a conflict avoider, so I might smile and nod awkwardly when listening, which I’ve learned can give the impression that I might be ok with something I’m not. Or I might just avoid a situation rather than tell someone how I really feel. I don’t mean harm by it, but it can get me into bad places. But this is of course because I overthink the other person’s reaction.

@trueconfidant123 What exactly is the 'great' part of not being able to let things go and replaying them in one's head?

Nothing really. It's ironical in nature.

I would say that I am an overthinking, I often times have to shut down my thoughts in order to have some peace to rest because if I do not, then I am not able to get any rest.

You're not the only one struggling with that. But I'm sure you'll do better eventually. 🫶🏻
