I, at age 21, am entirely aware that I analyze myself constantly. Frankly, it’s exhausting but I feel as though if I didn’t criticize and analyze myself, I wouldn’t live a meaningful life. Your post really summed up a lot of the deeper internal phenomena I find myself struggling with. The criticism, the emotional sensitivity, and especially the need for social stimulation. I’ve found myself in a chapter of life where my social life is not what I want it to be. I have never had problems making friends, yet all of a sudden I’ve realized that im really disconnected and feeling a deep craving for more connections not only with those I know but with new people. Specifically new people. I have been unwillingly obsessing over this issue. Do you have any advice? Im an enfp by the way! Thank you.
