How do you guys deal with overthinking in a relationship?

overthinkingalways profile image

I am constantly overthinking, and of course my boyfriend does not know that or about any of my anxiety problems (its still too early in the relationship so I don't want to tell him yet)

Every time he does not respond - he does not like me

when i feel like hes mad but nothing happened- hes going to break up with me

I honestly think it is a fear from my past of being bullied and left, so I had no friends and I was alone. Its like PTSD

But the thing is, pretty much every time I think something is wrong, nothing is. Part of it could be the differences between how a guys brain works and how a womans brain works. But sometimes I wonder- do guys overthink in relationships too but dont tell their significant other?

Have you considered counseling. Those are issues that can be worked through with hard work, but only with a licensed professional counselor.

I feel the exact same way. Contact is reassurance. It is a little ptsd. I have been abandoned and unappreciated. Just try to be patient. At least that’s what I tell myself. We are worthy of the love we deserve.
