I honestly can't remember what it feels like to not be somehow constantly thinking about what people are thinking about me when I'm having a conversation with them I have to have learned to be this way at some point? Somewhere around starting secondary school I think? 11? 12? I KNOW it doesn't make sense to want or expect to be liked by everyone you meet. Yet somehow I still feel that way, and it still gets in the way of me just being who I am and I find myself overthinking what someone else is thinking (as if I can read my mind) Time and time again, before you know it, the moment, the interaction, the conversation is over, and I'm left trying to figure out how much of it I spent being present, and how much was just inside my own little head This is something I feel pretty insecure about but if I feel like this, other people have to as well right?
