Overthinkers unite!

Canada
March 17, 2023 10:59am CST
Hey everyone. This is actually my first post since I am new here. I've been exploring the website and in my mind I was asking myself: 'Should I post? If yes, what's an interesting topic? Should I introduce myself? Should I do it today? Tomorrow? Never?' And then I laughed at myself when I realized I am overthinking this so I decided to just do it. It's a struggle to be an overthinker. It makes me anxious about the smallest things. But I think it has a lot to do with my introversion. The love for silence makes my head go to different places. I daydream A LOT. How are the overthinkers out there? Are you like me? What do you struggle the most? How do you overcome it?

Welcome to the site. As for the notifications, get to them as time allows. It can be overwhelming but most of us here understand if you can't reply as soon as we comment. Just enjoy the site. And yes, I am also an overthinker. A day at a time.

@AnneW21 You are very welcome. It has worked for me here. You have about a week to return comments before the notifications disappear. Take your time. I used to write every day, sometimes twice a day. But lately I take a few days off and it helps.

Thank you for your good advice, it is so overwhelming I will try not to stress out about it as I post new discussions. I have lots of things I want to write about on here, but know I need to go slowly in order to enjoy and make good new friends and reply to people.

I hope to spend lots of time here. Just need to understand the notifications properly so I don't go upsetting anyone as would hate to upset anyone on here.

@AnneW21 I shut most of the notifications off because I didn't need/want them to have a good time here.

I overthink things. I have one hour to get some tasks done around the house. I'm on the couch, deciding. Should I make muffins? vacuum? dust? organize something? start my taxes? go for a walk instead? I need to just pick something already And I'm also from Canada. Alberta

Hey you do not need to overthink. Everything is going to be okay.
