What is the trait you dislike the most about yourself?

I’ve always been deeply introspective, but sometimes that self-awareness feels like a double-edged sword. If I had to pick one trait I struggle with the most, it’s my tendency to overthink everything.

Whether it’s replaying past conversations in my head, analyzing every possible outcome of a decision, or trying to “read between the lines” in someone’s behavior, my mind never seems to stop. It’s exhausting.

What frustrates me the most is how this overthinking often paralyzes me. I’ll hesitate to take action or speak up because I’ve convinced myself that I’ll say the wrong thing, make the wrong move, or hurt someone unintentionally. It can even sabotage my relationships because I either hold back too much or over-communicate to the point of overwhelming others.

I know this tendency comes from wanting to understand and connect deeply, but sometimes it feels like I’m stuck in my own head, and I hate that I can’t just “let go” as easily as others seem to.

Does anyone else struggle with this? How do you find balance between being thoughtful and not overanalyzing every little thing?
