Thinking too much about what others think of me

I have always been one of those people that think about other too often . This has led me to think of social interactions as a battle , sure i can be in a conversation but i excessively think about what the other person is thinking also I have a hard time processing my emotions , I am scared of a relationship because i think the other person might get to know who I am and i think strategically that's a disadvantage .

can anyone tell me how can i manage my emotions better

Hello this is v sad so you don't like let alone love yourself, why, think of your good traits you must have some work on improving your faults, I'm not perfect who is but overall I'm a good person and always mean well, care about yourself and others but if you take a step back from thinking of yourself when in interactions with others just focus on there well being like a mother tending to her crying baby shel forget herself, some volunteer work will help you forget yourself 🤗

Welcome to the community

You are probably overthinking peoples reactions. We think in our heads everyone is talking about us or thinking negatively but they really are not.

I'm curious about your sentence that talks about someone getting to know you would be a disadvantage.

Hi curiousCranberry,

I wanted to remind you that you are not alone with your struggles. I also have a hard time with anxiety, overthinking, feeling comfortable in social situations, and processing my emotions. I can tell you what helps me process my emotions-writing my thoughts and feelings in a journal, exercising, focusing on hobbies I enjoy, opening up to someone I can trust, having quality alone time, not being too hard on myself, and not expecting too much of myself in social situations. I also believe the best relationships are those where the other person knows and accepts all of you-shortcomings and strengths. I hope this helps you.

Like Dolphin14, I'm wondering why you thinking someone getting to know you would be a disadvantage. I don't understand what you mean by strategically?

So young you are.....and so sad....I usually heal my soul by helping others....but recently I have learned that I mask my own problems.....and not really deal with my issues when helping others....that being said....I am who I am....someone else's approval isn't needed. Just be yourself and the right people will notice
