Well, this is one of my main detriments to myself.
It has been my whole life. Maybe because of the environment I grew up in, but I don't want to use that as an excuse.
I've landed quite a few good HB's throughout my years, but I seem to get to a point [either in a relationship, or through sports/work] that I start this process, and it's all down hill from there.
I can't tell you how many times a woman has told me, "I know you're a deep thinker, but..." It disgusts me, really.
I've taken steps to improving myself year in, and year out, and it has gotten better [to a degree], but it still seems to bear it's ugly head time, and time again.
I firmly believe in the power of the mind, and all I'm trying to do is learn more/improve myself.
I really need help with this.
I had/have the exact same problem.
Can't say I have it fully under control but it's still better than the old days when I used to analyze every word coming out of her mouth in a hundred different ways.
I don't know the exact solution to this. But, here's what worked for me.
Every time, I felt a need to analyze her words, I distracted myself.
Pick a book, log on to a website, go watch a movie, play some video game. And your mind will go off this topic.
Do ANYTHING except thinking of her and it will work.
