Overthinking

[Nebulous]

What was the last thing you’ve been overthinking about?

 

[Smiley]

I don't remember. I overthought myself into forgetting.

I overthink a lot about this girl I asked out in the past and how foolishly stupid I acted around her. I was clingy, depressed at times, angry, and overall just moody as can be. I don't think about her as near as often as I used to since we both went our separate ways, but she's still in the back of my mind a lot.

Aww, the one that got away…

Aww, the one that got away…

She did indeed, because about a year after asking her out, she found a boyfriend.

 

[Elvira]

Most likely some movie. For example - Gremlins 2

Spoiler

How did she get back upstairs with that dude and stuff?

That sucks. I’m sure someone equal or better will fall into your life when you least expect it!

Love that movie!

I sure hope so, because, like most people, I really don't want to die alone.

We all die alone, unfortunately. Even if you’re currently married to someone.

I know what you mean, but I mean in the sense of being alone for an extended period of time until you die.

I've noticed when my mind isn't otherwise occupied, my thoughts automatically default to recalling the past mistakes and imagining the worst case outcomes for different situations and scenarios, like getting fired for something realistically minor and / or insignificant, but fearing that my boss will not see it that way and I'll find myself unemployed.

I have no problem with being alone per se, just the opposite, I enjoy it, but my mind doesn't like being unused, so it starts to overuse itself to the point I start feeling physical fear and anxiety over something that might not and most likely will never happen, but the seed of doubt keeps replanting itself, no matter how much I pull it out and throw it away.

Irrational thoughts happen to the best of us. I too have anxiety and fear from time to time when I'm not keeping my mind occupied for an extended period of time.

Yeah that doesn't sound fun.

So what do you do to occupy that big brain of yours?

Very true! Sometimes I have to tell my brain to shut up! Lol

 

[Smiley]

Well, I've been thinking about you a lot lately.

Feeling flattered?

Aww,
