Overthinking Your Friendships

You reread texts. You analyse dots and “last seen.” You wonder if you annoyed them. You replay conversations in your head, trying to find the moment things went wrong. Overthinking friendships doesn’t mean you’re insecure — it means you care deeply.

But not every silence is rejection. Not every short reply is anger. People have lives, moods, distractions. Your mind fills the gaps with fear because it wants certainty.

Friendship shouldn’t feel like problem-solving. It should feel like connection. If you’re constantly anxious, it might be about your past experiences, not your present ones.

Breathe. You don’t have to earn your place. The right friends don’t make you guess your importance.
