My brain keeps making cringe compilations of my own life and I need help.

Hi. I'm a July Cancer, and I know this probably isn't just an astrology thing coz I think I'd still be sensitive either way coz sometimes it’s just too much, but I feel like being a July cancer plays a big part too.

The problem is I can't seem to go out normally. Every time I hang out with friends or even just run errands, I end up overthinking every interaction, every little thing I said, and whether I came across the wrong way.
I'm also really awkward. I stutter sometimes, and I'm constantly overthinking how I look in front of other people. Whenever I say something, my brain keeps replaying it over and over, I know looked weird as fuck too.

Then I get home and I just feel this wave of shame. Sometimes I literally end up screaming whenever it randomly pops into my head because I can't stop replaying everything. It's exhausting, and I want to stop feeling like this, I feel like I’m a weirdo and people just tolerate me.

I don’t get proper sleep coz of this, sometimes I just want to turn my brain off.

I don't know if this is normal or if other people experience this too. If you're someone who's naturally really sensitive or used to overthink every social interaction, how did you deal with it?
