After being raised an only child without a father, one of my main problems in life is getting out of my own head.

I use to do that repeating what I said in a whisper thing, too. So does my son. Now, I don't do that, but I will sit and replay conversations in my head sometimes. I use to do that obsessively.

I honestly tend to try and avoid too much self-reflection.

I find I only focus on negative things and go round and around in my head stressing out about how I dont think i eat enough vegetables and convince myself I'm going to die and then drink beer and fall asleep.

As dramatic as that sounds its not far from the truth, so i just let life roll on and see what happens.. seems to be working just fine.

If you ask anyone who knows me they'll say however that all I do is think and that they can almost hear my brain ticking away.

Often, very often.

Even before the current crisis.

I try very hard to do so honestly. It's not worth my time, otherwise.

Seriously, yes, fairly often.

And yes, I think it can be done too much and you end up running around in self-berating circles twisting yourself into a state of psychological paralysis. Sometimes you just have to let go and live!
