Our daily lifestyle is all about social interactions; without them, nobody can do anything in their life. Our social interactions are not only about day-to-day life activity; social interactions also decide our career, success, and personal life. In every area of life, you need social interactions. And if your overthinking is getting in the way of your social interactions, it means you are creating barriers for your growth and improvement, and this has to be a constant change in anybody’s life. especially if you want to achieve something in your life or are looking for change in your life. Overthinking in any area of life is not good. Yes, you should think carefully about your current circumstances and moments, but overthinking should not be there.
Actually, this starts happening because we are put in our comfort zone, don’t want to take action, make assumptions, and so on, but the simple way we cannot overthink is to take steps, create experiences, and then come to any conclusions or results according to our plans for the future. Never stop yourself and start overthinking where you do not have proper knowledge, experience, and information. If you have the right information, then you should create experience with your action, not just overthinking. In short, move yourself; don’t get stuck in your thinking; take action with whatever you have in your current circumstances. If you follow this in areas of your life where overthinking is taking place, you will see changes and easily handle them. Here, we will understand the viewpoints that you can take in your social interactions to stop overthinking.
Controling Emotions
Whatever you are doing in your life or about to do, all are your experiences at somewhere you started, and now that is your part of your life or in the future will be, the same way your social interactions are. Let me make it easy for you. Just try to put yourself there, where you are a new-born child. Now try to use your imazination part in this word; nothing was part of your experience, right? Over time, you learn to walk, speak, talk to your mother, learn one-by-one words and then connotations, and so on. Things happen; I don’t need to tell you all; everybody can think about them, but as we grow along with that, our emotions also grow, for example, fear, happiness, sadness, and so on.
And these are all natural parts of our lives, but as you allow them into your life, it gets bigger. Assume that in your childhood or as an adult, you are doing something, but something happens in the process, and your fear gets activated. and it is a common experience, but as you start using this experience as a reference in every area of your life, it makes your fear emotions get bigger, and as time goes on, it can take huge shape in your life that become so stubburn and not be removed from your life till you work for certain periods of time because now these emotions are part of your habits, and changing habits is a very touchy job; it does not change the outcome; it needs your attention and hard work.
What you can do is never let any emotions become part of your life. Coming and going, you cannot stop our natural experiences, but when you start making reference to your experience, it can take shape into your problems. In the same way, it can become your overthinking problem in social interactions. Example: What will a person think about me? Is it right to say? What if something I say they do not like? The list goes on. It never stops when you allow your emotions to take over, so better keep in mind that from your childhood to your death, there will always be something new in your life that you will be doing for the first time.
This especially fits in when you are constantly working on your improvement. The same is true of your social interactions, no matter whom you want to initiate. If something goes wrong, reflect later and learn. Social interactions should not be constant. You can learn from your family. When you are in a family, you constantly talk with everybody, no matter what. When the need comes, you talk about something and share. The same should be true of your social interactions: do not allow your emotions to take over you; instead, face them, and as you do, you will see how you can stop overthinking as you create experiences with them.
Assumptions
Sometimes you can get into your assumptions. You never allow your assumptions in any case. If you have to make assumptions, make them after social interactions. Never pre-event; you have to look for information without proper information, Your assumptions can have negative outcomes based on your limited point of view and self-created thinking. Never let any kind of assumption take over; for example, what if, what the, this, that, and so on. You do, and then you decide. This way, you can easily control your overthinking.
Be Present
Life is all about flow; our lives are like water; they never stop till we reach the destination. For water, the destination is the sea, and for you, it is your death. Try to be present in the situations. Do not make any plans before you get into any social interactions. As you make decisions, try to be like your plan, but believe me, there is nothing like a perfect plan that can give you the result you want without making any changes. the same as your social interactions have to be. Be like water; try to flow with the present moments and change according to how it goes. This way, you no longer need to keep something in mind, and if nothing in your mind is related to your interactions. This way, you free your mind to be present, and as you do, your overthinking automatically shuts down. Because now you no longer need to prove or process any data for your interactions, and this puts you in your true nature, and here flower blooms.
Last Thoughts
Changing behaviors takes time; you have to be patient and learn to be calm by nature. You have to face everything; there is no need to make any pre-thinking decisions; face the experience and then do whatever you want to do. Want to think negatively or positively and look for solutions? As you always put yourself there, you are making changes from time to time according to your life experiences. You will see your overthinking getting disappear and your social interactions becoming more confident and approachable.
