HokeyReligions Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 How do you stop analyzing yourself? Start analyzing others.

Sand&Water Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 How do you stop analyzing yourself? Start analyzing others. That's a circular argument. It'll only cause you to get caught in a whirl-wind analyzing habit. If you keep busy during the spare time, you won't have the chance to analyze your texts. You're human, not a mechanical machine.
lindya Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 how does that work? The fact that you endlessly analyse emails you've sent to your girlfriend suggests that you're very caught up in how you're perceived by the outside world. Taking a bit more interest in other people (their thoughts and feelings, the minutae of their lives...) might free you a bit from being so caught up in thoughts about how you're presenting yourself to them and what they think of you.
Author consumed Posted April 17, 2006 Author Posted April 17, 2006 that's always been my main problem. I'm so caught up in thinking about where the relationship stands and what trying to figure out what they may be thinking. I've been deleting my outbox and set msgs so that I can't read them again after they are sent. I'm trying to work on it, but it's hard sometimes especially if your waiting for a response from a txt msg and it's been some time you begin to ponder if it was something you said. Confidence issues I know...
