I think too much?

Is it normal to overlook what is being seen? It's hard to explain. I'll give an example. I usually walk to work and I always pass by this fragile looking house. One of the windows is occasionally dangles from its hinge whenever it gets windy and it always catches my eye. I get this feeling of hopelessness fill me whenever I walk under it and I picture in my mind that it will break right now and fall on top of me. Another simple example is that I always get nervous and weird whenever I see a police car drive by or a police officer near. In my mind I keep saying "I did nothing wrong, I didn't steal anything" I repeat it over and over till I feel safe. Should I talk to someone about this? Or is this just usual behavior or me just wanting to be safe?

    Yes its normal. There are 2 parts of your brain that control this. The part of your brain that observes and the part of your brain that analyzes. What it sounds like to me is, the part of your brain that analyzes, is analyzing the part of your brain that observes. Causing a paranoid feeling.

    Ya everyone in my family is like this. You are just intelligent, but have trained yourself to use your creativity in a self defeating way. I would try to travel if you can, or be upfront with people. Do whatever scares you the most, and you won't feel as insecure about the fear

  • I would say you are a little paranoid but challenging the paranoia.
