I overthink things, what can I do?

I over think everything. For example, I'm on a road trip with some friends, and I called my fiance and told her that I had some great pictures so far, and that I wanted to show them to her through email, but she said she didn't really feel like looking at pictures right now.

For some reason this bothers me, I start thinking, why doesn't she want to see the pictures, does she not care? Maybe she just feels tired or simply doesn't feel like it right now?

This is an extremely stupid example, but you get the idea, I overthink everything, how can I avoid this?

Answer:
Don't think so much!

Tell yourself to shake it off like is it really worth it to burn yourself out like that.

Sounds like you are insecure and need more attention.
Are you an only child?

i used to be like that but not any more. you just need to find away to stop it. if you don't 'll find yourself without a girlfriend. l call this crazy thinking and it drives not only yourself crazy but other people too. it's mind over matter. when you get like this you need to find something to do that will break this like line of thought. make sure it is something that will not drive other people crazy when you do it though. read a book, (I know you are a man) but take cross stitch(Tell Rosie Greer) this is not manly to do.) i certainly won't be anywhere around when you do.it can be anything that takes your mind off of your usual way of overthinking things. cross word puzzles are good too. maybe you can come up with something. good luck.

I know people like you, and I think they have a victim complex. They think about our conversations later and say to themselves, "what did she mean by that?" They are mad at me, and most of the time I don't even know why. So..I have distanced myself from them. It is stressful to be around someone who reads something into everything. Mostly what you need to remember is, You cannot read minds, and you will never be able to.

i agree with the other post, you can't read minds. . .

Also, I think the mentally running in circles is a form of internalizing emotions, maybe it would stop if you were able to express how you feel to your fiance. Because essentially it's not about the pictures, but you doubt her feelings for you and probably missed her during your separation. Perhaps if you had told her how it made you feel, (not necessarily explicitly, but "oh, I really wanted you to see these sweetie" or something), she would have told you she was just tired and wanted to see them another time.
