I'm an overanalytical kind of person. I think I tend to talk too much, thinking that I'm saying something worthwhile, but the person on the other end couldn't care less. Generally I keep to myself and don't put myself out there too much to talk to different people. But every once in a while I say "to hell with your overthinking" and simply do or say whatever I feel like doing or saying. I guess that way of thinking only works when you have real friends to be spontaneous with... then it's welcomed. But if you try to be spontaneous with the wrong crowd, people just think you're nuts.

 

Sometimes I'll reach out to someone who I had spent time with a little while ago and tell them how I enjoyed that time with them, and that their presence in my life had meant something to me. But it's often met with silence on the other end. I guess I should expect it. I mean, I can be sort of a weird hippie-esque person who thinks it's alright to reach out to people and open up to them on a whim and not worry about it. But then I usually come back to reality and realize that normal people don't do that. Normal people have to be cool and chill, and always make sure they're doing the right thing, saying the right thing, putting on the right face for the occasion. It's like being the weird kid that everyone made fun of in my 7th grade class because he had an odd haircut and always loved talking about the weather report.

 

To be fair, some of these people who I've reached out to are people I've been romantically involved with. So I guess once you've been romantically involved, ANYTHING you say from that point forward will hold a different meaning, even if you're just trying to be friendly. I think I might try to be more mute from now on. I can't really trust myself to be open with the right crowd... I've gotten burned too many times for it. Too many people aren't receptive. So maybe I should just blend... be normal, and realize that it's not ok to share your feelings with people all the time. Civilized people don't do that... i guess.

Either that or the OP is thinking way too much. What you need is an outlet for your emotions.
