Yeah, me too. Makes me feel better sometimes, and I don't feel good about that. So many people seem to have such problems with basic natural relationships/friendships/sex, etc. I just don't get it. I'm average looking, with average pay, and an all too average body (and I guess old?), and I don't have 1/10th the problems people that post here seem to. Just live life! It's fun!

Don't take people who over analyze everything for granted, it is an aggregate trait necessary for group survival. We would not be here today without those characteristics in the collective "pool" of human attributes.

I honestly never thought about half the crap posted here when I was single. I dated, had a few relationships, then met my husband without ever really putting any serious effort into it. I've been happily married going on a decade now.

My feeling is that there is too much thinking and not enough doing going on. We used to learn by trial and error. Nowadays it seems some people want to take shortcuts to get what they want with no risk, only reward, so they ruminate but don't take action.
Exactly. The young folks who are guilty of this are so thin-skinned and sensitive (overprotected) that they won't take any chances. They try to boil everything down into probabilities and mathematical formulas in order to produce the best chance of avoiding the deadly possibility of "awkwardness."

Egos made of tissue paper. It is so sad.

I think the people who truly struggle with finding or maintaining relationships are very apt to over analyze things. Since a forum like this will tend to attract a lot of people who have major struggles, we tend to see a lot of over analysis.

Often times, the best answer to someone is to stop over analyzing!

Me neither. Back when I was the OP's age and didnt need a walker, things were excellent!
Living life, a million friends, college, having a blast all the time, working, studying, not a care in the world except how to scrape up $10 for 0.50 cent Tuesdays....

Then one day...... BOOM ! Real life happens. Working 40-50 hours a week, friends die, get married, disappear, and all a sudden, life isnt a movie.

Ahh, but those days!

Never get old Pony boy!

Exactly. I wonder how these people will cope with the horrible, life-altering **** that life after 30 inevitably doles out.
