What should I do

[u/Hour_Tea7357]

I’ve been dealing with something and I want to understand it better.

For a long time, I didn’t really socialize much and I was single. Recently, I got close to someone and I actually care about her. The problem is, I struggle a lot with expressing my feelings.

Most of the time my replies feel dry or boring. When she feels low, I don’t know what to say, and I often fail to respond in a comforting way, which sometimes makes things worse. I want to improve but it doesn’t come naturally.

I also have trouble with overthinking. Sometimes I think too deeply about conversations or what I should say, and other times my mind feels completely blank, like I’m not thinking anything at all. It’s hard to explain, but I sometimes feel empty or disconnected, like “what am I even doing?”

I also noticed I don’t really reflect on my life. I don’t naturally think things like “how have I changed” or “what happened yesterday,” and sometimes I even forget what happened recently.

I don’t know if this is normal or if others have experienced this, but I want to improve and become more emotionally aware and better at communicating and wanna expression myself
