    anxiety can have you doubting yourself. when we overthink, we start wondering like what if this , what if that. the mind goes around in circles ruminating. The best thing you can do is get busy doing something else. It’s not healthy to sit around and overthink. Because most likely the things we come up with Will not accurately describe how we truly feel. It’s just random made up things.

    So my advice would be to get active and busy. Start exercising or get outside and walk. Get involved in something or take up a hobby. A great thing to do is volunteering somewhere. When you help other people it gives you a great feeling! And it takes the focus off of yourself. The worst thing to do is just sit at home and think.

    dont give into anxiety. Fight back. You don’t have to let anxiety take over your thinking.

    When you get out and do things there’s a good chance you could meet some other people who could possibly become good acquaintances. One thing leads to another. think about this and I hope your anxiety levels off so you can feel better.

    Yes, this happens as another anxiety symptom. I used to think, what if I'm a psychopath? and things like that.

    On a side note, if one is not straight there is nothing wrong with that.
