So negative....
I am an extremely loving person who gets extremely annoyed and irritated with people, especially the people I love. I have been noticing more and more how negative I really am. I am constantly looking at the negative in people and am so cautious about everything I think, say or do. Every single day, I beat myself up about what I could have said, should have said or did say. I constantly assume the people I love are thinking negatively of me...when really I think negatively of them.......can anyone relate?

Wow! I could've posted this myself. I can totally relate to what you are saying. i find myself constantly thinking about things that have happened or things that could happen. Mulling over conversations is a specialty of mine. And I think the irritablity is a result of all of the overthinking that we do. I mean how can we be fully present in the moment when we a re constantly thinking abou other things? The good news is that this can be changed, but it is a process and doesn't happen overnight. We literally need to retrain our minds to think in healthier ways. And we need to stop judging ourselves for thinking so negativeley. It doesn't make us "bad", it just means that somehow wel earned this way of thinking. And we can unlearn it. So kepp challenging those thoughts and it will get better. Be aware of it when it's happening and recognize it but don't judle the thoughts and then challenge them. Good luck!
