Why do I always try to relate to people?
The urge to relate to someone’s experiences comes from a lot of places, I think. It’s a common way of trying to show someone that you understand. Showing someone that you understand them is a common way of earning their trust, respect, and affection. It indicates that you have things in common.
How do you relate to people without making it about yourself?
Just make an observational comment on what they’re doing or what they’re wearing. People might seem intimidating at first when you see them but most are open to conversation. Something simple like, “I like your shirt!” is a great way to start a conversation and meet some interesting people. This is very simple.
How do you relate in a conversation?

- Be curious. Ask questions.
- Don’t be afraid to go off-script.
- Give someone a compliment.
- Talk about something you both have in common.
- Have more conversations with people you don’t know.
- Don’t let the awkward moments trip you up.
Why can’t I relate to most people?
You can struggle to relate to others if you focus on your differences instead of the things you have in common. It is often more about how you understand other people’s experiences than whether you share them. Relating can also be hard after extreme experiences that change how you view the world.

Why do I always overthink everything?
Overthinking everything is something that can be both caused by anxiety and something that increases anxiety. It’s a vicious cycle that is maddening. Your description of what it’s doing to you is spot-on. Your keen awareness of this is a very good thing and is actually the first step in overcoming it.
How do you know if you’re in a toxic relationship?
It’s okay to tell them that you’re not ready to take any action yet and you’re just looking for their observations, not solutions at this point. If you find that you’ve become isolated from these people because you’ve been in this relationship, that can be a sign of a toxic relationship.
