50 Things Your BF Does That You Constantly Overanalyze

Do you want your relationship to last? Here's a tip: Tell your brain to STFU.

I mean, obviously, it's easy for your brain to get carried away with overthinking everything when you really, really like someone.

Furthermore, you like them so you want to make sure things keep going well between you two. So then, your brain starts to become hyperaware of any and all things that could possibly indicate things not going as well as they were before and you overthink yourself into oblivion.

Before you know it, you're literally driving yourself absolutely INSANE trying to figure out all of the possible reasons why he didn't text you "goodnight," like he usually does. (It clearly can't just be that he was tired and forgot. This OBVIOUSLY means something is wrong.)

But unfortunately, "insane" you isn't the same you he fell for. And BOOM, your overthinking stood in the way of your own chance at love.

Take it from me, a chronic over-thinker. No good comes from letting your brain ramble on, but here are 50 things we all let it ramble on about anyway:

1. Why he texted you "hi" versus "hiii."
