Introspective

I am sure that one thing about being an introvert is that you are introspective. Usually, this is a good thing. I am pretty aware of what I need, I figure out personality things I need to fix, and I know what I want because I think about it alot and play all the scenarios out in my head.

Today, I wish that I wasn't introspective. One of the problems with introspectiveness (my own crazy word) is that you think and replay things over and over in your head. They also aren't always the fun happy things, they are usually a mess up you did or someone being mad at you for something ridiculous. I have tons of conversations about whatever I am thinking about in my head and it almost consumes me. Watching tv doesn't even help. Every situation on the tv "somehow" in your brain relates to the event.

Wise or crazy...probably more the later. This trait and I have a love/hate relationship. It would be so nice if there was a way I could literally grab the thoughts out of my head and throw them away. They are not constructive, they are destructive! What am I gaining from replaying things over and over, what am I missing out on?

Goal: use Introspectiveness to gain wisdom, not be crazy!
