and analyze yourself in social settings?
Even when I'm with close friends, I'm analyzing everything in my mind.
For example, I think :"did I sound to condescending"? "did I sound stupid"? "Should I have said it"?
I wish I could just let go and have fun with people instead of ruing it by over thinking and then regret what I say or do.

I am constantly thinking to much and questioning myself when it comes to social interactions in any way: in person, on facebook, email, etc. Always wondering if people are thinking badly of me. I think it has to do with the low self esteem that has resulted from my current depression.

Gawd Yes!

Sometimes I have to tell myself to "STOP IT" out loud before I run myself of the rails with it!

Another one of those "learned" behaviors I'll eventually overcome ... I Hope!

Yes. Ever since I was a kid. I never thought I got anything right. Always feeling like I've done something wrong even when I didn't. Or said something wrong, when I didn't. Always feeling guilty for no reason at all.

The way I describe my mind to friends is, "I think about everything. All the time."

All the time. Even on the internet.

I am constantly deleting/editing posts or even out right not typing responses I want to make because I'm worried I'll do something wrong.

Always!! My mind never rests! I even get suspicious about certain people and obsessively wonder what THEY are thinking.

Yep, yep. I'm always thinking and overthinking, mind-racing. I read social cues very carefully and probably over-read them at times, seeing more meaning than is really there (sometimes I joke that I have the opposite of autism, being constantly over-attuned to social cues instead of missing them).

Yes that happens to me. And it always happens before I go to sleep and then I can't fall I sleep. I just think about everything and it hurts my brain

Yes I think too much. But it comes in the form of ruminating. I replay conversations and what I did. Or what I could have said or done.

Yes I do think too much. It doesn't happen often around people but at night when I'm suppose to sleep I think about everything which could last up 3 hours . And it makes me get a headache and feel depressed

Yes I over analyse every aspect of my life but especially my social relationships. I feel it's part of being highly sensitive.

I can overthink sometimes, yes. I try not to, but night times when anxiety usually runs high, overthinking tends to go into overdrive.
