In my personal experience, I have the type of personality where those little things matter. I like to think everything in my life should have it's own little box. It's just the way some of us are! :)

Things tend to bother me more than others because of my anxiety. Many times I have thought about how others approach and handle things seemed to be so much easier for them than it was for me. I used to compare myself to others. Recently, I realized that comparing approaches to handling problems in life is not beneficial to anyone. Everyone has a different way of dealing with the little things that bother them. As someone with a confirmed GAD diagnosis, It took me a long time to realize that smaller things tended to bother more because of the fact that I have GAD. Living with GAD means that I usually have elevated responses to things that someone without GAD would consider "no big deal." Embracing this diagnosis has helped me in so many ways. I finally understand that comparing the way things impact me to the way that things impact others is not a healthy or effective way for me to manage daily stressors. The most helpful thing is finding an approach to managing things that works for me. Over time, I have noticed that I got better at handling the little things!

Sometimes it can be because of anxiety. Sometimes it can be because of high standards. It just depends, as individuals vary.

Everything effects everyone differently. It's ok to have different feelings than the next person. That's what makes our experiences unique.

we all tend to react to things differently, it is normal. what can be silly to you can be a big deal to others and vice versa

We all have our weak moments. Some more than others. Some for different reasons. The first step to recovery is recognizing the problem so you are well on your way.

i would guess it's due to increased empathy or being seemingly in tune with other people's emotions. another way to put it could be increased sensitivity which is not always a bad thing

Sometimes it can feel and seem that way but it's not necessarily the case. Others may not show it but everyone is bothered by what may seem like trivial things sometimes.
Whenever something is bothering you, it's best to find someone to talk to and if you're reading this you're already in the right place. Find people that you can confide in and who will listen to you and be supportive.
If you find that you worry excessively and you're confident that you're probably worrying more than most people, it may be advised that you seek professional help.

It is easier to see the reactions we have to things than to notice other people reacting to things. The little things may be different, but it is likely that everyone is reacting to little things that set them off, just like you are.

THinking and bothering varies from person to person..! It can affect someone who keeps thinking about the past ones and it has absolutely no effect if somone dont even pay attention to it..! Its all a psycological thing..! Sometime neglection is the way to move forward..!

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
