I think some people become so used to trying to understand everyone that they don’t even realize how much they’re carrying mentally all the time.

You’re constantly thinking about:
how somebody meant something,
how somebody took something,
how to explain something better,
how to avoid misunderstandings,
how to keep things from turning into bigger problems…

and after a while it’s like your brain never fully shuts off because you’re always trying to hold every perspective in the room at the same time.

And honestly, I didn’t even realize this is what I was doing for the longest because it just felt normal.

Then one day I finally stopped and realized I’d spent so much time trying to understand everyone else that I stopped paying attention to myself too.
