well i get the part about over thinking things and it screwing it up, and anticipating peoples responses and your own. But you have to understand that for as much as you think you know how things are, or will play out. life can be unpredictable and people an surprise you.
so try to keep a more open mind and not worry so much about how things play out in your head, and just take a seat and let them play out.
"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts"
just try being more of an actor in the play then the writer
Thanks, I appreciate the advice, and the quote. I definitely try to write my own script, as it were, and I'm going to try and work on that. I think I have fairly low emotional intelligence when it comes to figuring out other people's motivations, and I can be very defensive. But I'm going to take your advice, and try to stop over-thinking.
i think you will learn it better to mellow out as you get older and more relaxed in your own skin. That is what i learned to transition into. It much easier to just be open and honest, like a book. And just let people read you and come to their own judgement of you. no need to try to live up to other expectation or your perceived expectations they have of you.
Just be who you are, and the right people will start surrounding you =D
I'm smart, pretty, weird, and I can't get a boyfriend
