Is it normal that i think like this?

For as long as I can remember, I've always been the type to overthink everything. I've had really bad anxiety and OCD since I was a child.
I've realised that I don't really know if my personality is real or fake or if I even have one, because I overthink everything so much and put so much planning into how I act and such. I have been getting scared that I don't know who I am. I don't think anything I do is natural, I have to plan every little action. I even try to plan the next few phases I go through. Is this normal?

    Don't know if it's normal as such, but I'd say it's fairly common.

    I am the same way. I feel like over the past 2 years I've developed social anxiety. I over analyze everything people say and do and I feel like they are doing the same to me, but I know they're not. It's hard to explain, but yes, I know exactly what you're going through. It may not be "normal" as it's defined, but it's common. You're OK

    I do this too! There have been times I cry and freakout because I feel like I have no control, that it isn't even me. The real me wouldn't cry.
