The more you try to justify yourself to someone, the more you lose yourself. I'm talking about the forced justifications you give to people who don't want to understand you in the first place. Yes, in some situations there are misunderstandings that need to be cleared so they don't affect the relationship between two people. But if someone is constantly bringing you down for no reason, then you are not at fault, and you don't need to pressure yourself into thinking that you are failing at something.
Sometimes even your loved ones can have different opinions about you because of misunderstandings or other reasons. But the people who truly care about you will not make you feel pressured all the time. You need to think carefully before blaming yourself for everything. That's how overthinking slowly takes over your mind. The most important thing is to understand yourself first. If you haven't done anything wrong, then why blame yourself for no reason?
You are often the first person to give up on yourself, the first one to stop standing up for yourself. It's normal to feel overwhelmed or completely exhausted. You may even feel like everything is falling apart and that you are the reason for it all. These feelings happen, but instead of overthinking until those thoughts start eating you up, take a moment to think calmly about the situation. Take care of yourself. You do matter.
