Their deep empathy drives them to avoid hurting feelings—even in harmless, everyday “What’s up?” texts.
They play out worst-case scenarios in their head—what if you ignore them? What if you judge?
Every emoji, punctuation, or typo feels like a personal failure. They want to get it “just right.”
They know they’re overthinking. But they can’t help it. Their mind whispers, “You could’ve said that better.”
Past betrayals or ghosting experiences wired their brain to be cautious—even in safe, loving conversations.
They don’t just text. They script. Rehearsed lines, deleted drafts—hoping to strike the perfect emotional tone.
They apologize for texting too much, too little, too late. Constantly scared they’re “too much.”
Their overthinking isn’t weakness. It’s care, sensitivity, and wanting connection—but their mind just won’t let it flow easily.
