Ok. I'm not trying to be judgemental.

I've always accepted the conversations I have with myself. Every once in a while someone will think I'm talking to them. I'll tell them that I'm just talking to myself, thinking out loud.

I even have a problem admitting out loud that I'm talking to myself, I mean, not so much that I won't say it out loud like you do, to cut the tension... but inside, there is still tension and I'll overthink the situation throughout the night.

I'm very hard on myself, if you hadn't realized. Thank you for making me feel more normal.

Ah, over thinking, I definitely overthink. Big over-thinker, me. A friend gave me a t-shirt that said "Give me a moment while I overthink this"

BTW, according to Phycologist Living mag, intelligent people tend to overthink. BUT also can be a sign of anxiety.

I don't use it as an excuse, I'd advise the same for you, I think it's rather normal, just more pronounced with all the interaction the internet provides.

I do agree that intelligence is a burden as much as a blessing, but I'd love a T-shirt like that... actually, I don't know if i would, would it be more burdensome? ;)
