Over Analyzing

Over analying to much can ruin a relationship...and i have a habit to do so ALOT...lol...i was wondering what if anything i can do to stop it...

Boy, when you get this one figured out, let me know. Everyone who knows me well knows that I tend to be overly analytical. Whether it's in my love life or my job. :rolleyes:

Stupid things really...i got into the habit when i was younger...and have had it since...but lately i have been over analzing things that Tracy(Tracy = 1 im with...) says...and i know it annoys her...told her i would try to stop...but i dunno hard to break habits when u get them...

well, i defently know I don't over analyze things...:rolleyes: LMAO!! hehe

lol Poet

I don't either....nope not at all... but if anyone comes up with an answer let me know too

Over-analyzing something simply means that you see something with it that triggers a concern. I don't like it when people always say it's a bad thing.

You can say that someone is in a relationship with someone and that they should be totally happy with them so any concerns they have will be "over-analyzing" things. I don't know... I think over-analyzing something may just come from things being less than ideal.

Maybe someone is in a LDR or in a relationship with someone with a different attachment style and this causes anxiety in the partner. Ask yourself why you are over-analyzing, and try not to discount your feelings the way a lot of people do. Your feelings are valid.

thank you guys for your help...:D

I was thinking that too pinkcat after I posted


I actualy don't over anylize things much anymore because I feel very secure in my relationship finally :)

I did it so much during the course of my 22 year marriage that I really thought it was just my personality to be insecure.

Now I know better....wow light bulb moment for me!

Great point Pink! :)

Please define what you mean by over-analyzing.

If you mean
-I pick apart my loved one
-I think about everything I do that could be wrong
or other types of thinking that are self-destructive, lmay I recommend the book "The 7 Habits for Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey.

Learn some constructive techniques for yourself, your life, and your relationships.

You could not be over-analyzing anymore.
You even may be determining courses of constructive action.
You can do it!!
