I care too much about everything

Post Reply New Topic

Hi all. Today i realized that i care too much about almost everything. Let me explain this.

For example;

- I think about my embarrassing moments in the past. No matter when they happened, even if its happened years ago, it's still in my brain.
- I think about what other people think about me. Do they love me or hate me? I can think about this for hours!
- I know that people dont give a damn about each other. But unfortunately i do.

I want to get rid of this. I want to be relaxed, but some thoughts dont let. I also think i'm a hated person. Because im lonely. But im not sure. Sorry my english may be bad because i'm not a native english speaker.

Anyone experiencing my problems? Or can i actually get rid of my problems

I found guided meditations helped me work through some of these feelings. Your post is a good reminder for me to go back to doing them, because the feelings have been creeping in again lately. I used a podcast series called Pathway to Happiness, but you have to pay for it. I'm sure there are other free options out there!

I can relate, including to the part where it weirdly comes and goes sometimes.
Honestly, a few medications have helped me with this. Have you ever tried therapy?
I feel like the obvious answer would be working on raising your self esteem, but I know of course that's easier said than done and takes time.

Overthinking things is a very common aspect of Autism. It's also very common with those of us affected by generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and I think it's a genuine desire for many Autistics to figure out the NT world. NTs and their intentions are a complete mystery to me. But then of course that thinking turns into overthinking and then anxiety sets in and then it turns into a big mess. At least for me.

Social situations will always confound me and most Autistics I'm sure so I think these thoughts are quite natural for people like us but I think it's important that you maintain control over your situation with therapy and other positive influences.
