Negative Feedback Loop

Undiagnosed4321

What do you guys make of a Negative Feedback Loop?

Is this a common thing to get bogged down in Negative thinking, for one thing to happen which sends you down in a negative spiral, where you can't see the positives and just focus on the negatives and it makes you worse and worse?

Or is that another disorder?

  • Thanks. Things like this have happened in the past - not with the same person. But everytime, the answer has been, there's nothing wrong, everythings OK, I haven't done anything wrong, they haven't done anything.

    I am overly sensitive, I am overthinking things, but Im caught in a scenario where Im guessing what's happening. I make issues bigger than they are - this revolves around a lack of a text message, coupled with my own obsessive impatience.

    The issues appear to be in my head only.

    Maybe I should have waited a bit longer instead of despairing so soon. I've ended up sending a message asking if we're still meeting. I'll await an answer.

    But still the questions flow - have I don't something wrong, do they like me, are they being honest? Why am I getting mixed messages? Why can't I be more secure?
