I've always been the same way, generally being an anxious person and overthinking about harmless situations. Sometimes it helps me to think about the best outcome scenario. Then I compare to the most likely scenario. This helps put into perspective my anxiety and fear based ideas on what could possibly happen.
This might not work for you but i thought I'd throw it out there as a coping technique just in case <333

That one was mine. Update: rescheduled for thursday lol. The annoying thing is that this always happens and in the end there was never anything to worry about. It still only helps a little.

Also, in response to the post about confidence projection (I saw it quoted but couldn't find the original post and don't want to switch pages while typing something up), I'm like that too, but even irl. I'm like really good at poker faces and I can be the seemingly most confident person in a room, but I have an inherent inability to let people get close to me. I can comfortably carry on a conversation with any random person as though I've known them forever, once a conversation has started, but I never approach people unless I have specific reasons to. I never start conversations just to have them. I often feel displaced, like I'm in a different dimension than everyone else, like everything and everyone I see and hear is there... I'm just not. I can't say I don't prefer it that way though.
