    Always thought I was, but realise I'm not an overthinker. Although I analyse a lot. :icon_bigg

    A few of these (esp. the first one >_>) seem exaggerated/sarcastic but for the most part the rest pretty much sound like me ;-;

    Yeah, those all ring true... The first one isn't an exaggeration for me, Kage. I tend to account for all potentials I can imagine in social scenarios, even if outlandish. :/


    (Well all true except 11. I don't use social media - I'd go insane.)

    A lot of those things seem true for me, especially the "call me back ASAP" one. I just really become socially anxious and worrysome when someone doesn't get back to me right away :S.

    That made me LOL for real, but then I felt uncomfortable with the truthiness of it all. Now, I'm going to start thinking about this for the next couple of hours.

    Yeah.. I'm an INTJ personality type and this is how I work. It's pretty exhausting on my mind. I wish I could just do stuff and not overthink everything so much.

    Ha basically all of it is me, minus the desperation.

    I don't resort to "awww they don't like me" type thoughts, I resort to " they don't like me so fuck them" thoughts which actually is worse because I can be mad at someone even if they didn't do anything.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one...

    I automatically think people don't like me.. Paranoia is such a curse!
