Is it normal that i obsess over things i say?

Sometimes I say things and I don't pick up on it until later or even right after that that's not what I meant, or that I wanted to say more, and I replay the conversation in my head and obsess over it almost.

Is It Normal?
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Dappled, thank you for your kind words. :) it means alot. I had to let it out somewhere. I thought this site was perfect for it. I think I'm done ranting about her now. I got my frustrations out. She takes up less and less of my thoughts.

    I just try to be nice because thats the way I want to be treated. It's not in my nature to be mean. Everyone deserves respect.

    Yes, I do that a lot and I absolutely hate it!! Especially when the conclusion to your obsession is 'i shoulnt have said that! I shouldn't have that! why did I say that? Why did I say that?"

    Same for me too! I always replay the conversation in my head and think I should have said something else. I guess I'm not a quick thinker :/

    Sometimes I have flashbacks of convos or scenes and imagine me saying different things as an alternative outcome .

    I thought I was the only one :O I hate being in a conversation, then saying something that I think the other person might have taken the wrong way, and then obsessing over it.

    Oh me too! I run it through my mind over and over. Even with my husbands step mom passing away last month. I still run it through my head on what I really thought of her.

      I noticed you posting about her occasionally over the past year and, for obvious reasons, moreso recently. It can't have been easy to deal with, and I'm sure it's probably even harder now because there's nothing more to be said.

      I feel for you, tori, and I hope you find a way through this. The impression I (and I'm sure many others) have built up of you is that of a kind, caring person. Sometimes the way people act towards us is more a reflection on themselves, than it is a reflection on us.

    Man I do the same thing. But i blame it more on ocd than anything. As long as the thoughts don't consume your mind, and interfere with your daily life, then you should be fine.

    Yea, I get this, especially if I say something and realize it could have been taken the wrong way. I'll obsess over it and feel stupid.
