Stop Overthinking Your Relationship Novels & Stories

I smiled at her; although I was tempted to share my thoughts, I couldn't risk exposing my relationship to Salvatore or exposing him either. "Come on, don't hide it from me. Just a little advice, okay?" she said, and I nodded even though she had no idea what was on my mind. "Money can be earned. If you can't, then you can't. You have to stop overthinking about it; it's better than driving yourself crazy over it and still getting nowhere." "Thanks, I know that. When you know you need something, you can't help but worry." I went along with her assumption just to avoid more questions. She might start asking even more if I denied it or said it wasn't about money.

"Alright, I should ask Hiro." The missing soul was about to float toward Hiro, I just stopped him. "Why are you being a nuisance?" "I'm just helping you to overcome your shyness. You're in a relationship but it seems like you're not planning to open up to him about what you feel." "Is it necessary?" he asked. "Yes, communication is the key to a successful relationship. You'll just end up blaming him for the things he didn't know you're hurting." I shook my head. "You sound like a poet. How I feel is not deep. I just wanted to punch the wall to ease my arousal and I used my little irritations toward Hiro. But here you are, advising me about the things I already know."

I replied not sure about how to say it. "Okay! Your relationship problems?" she asked writing down in my report. "Kind of! I don't know whether I should think about my relationship right now when my mind is in a mess." I explained and she leaned forward. "Whose mind is not a mess? Don't we all concentrate on the things that give us comfort all the time? So, don't ignore the things that give you happiness just because of this reason. The nightmares are just a phase that will pass after which you have a life to lead." She continued to talk and I calmly listened while expressing my views on a few things.

“No buts, baby. Leave it to me. Stop stressing over it. I promise you, there’s nothing to worry about in our situation.” I frowned in confusion. What does he mean by that? I was about to ask when he kissed me; my words were swallowed by his mouth. The kiss didn’t last long. His hand landed on my head and tousled my hair. But I still couldn’t calm down; I kept thinking about what might happen. “Hey, baby. Stop overthinking, okay? It’s not good for you.” I stared at him. Today was our first day of being in a relationship, and I was already ruining it. He was right—I shouldn’t be worrying about that right now. Whatever happens, I should always trust him.

“Well from my little experience, you’re definitely not going to stop thinking about the person cause you just don’t want to.” “I don’t understand.” “What I mean is,” she walked closer to him and took his hand in his. “It’s almost impossible to not think of someone when all you’re thinking of is how to not think about them.” “Oh,” he lowered his voice. “Then, what am I supposed to do?” “How about this,” she smiled at him. “You try to move on with life without thinking about the person.” “I-”

-------------------------------------------------------------------- Stegano's POV Stopping the car in front of the house, u take sleep into my arms, I know she isn't sleeping a blink last night and when she is finally sleeping, I want to let her sleep. I didn't comment but that doesn't mean I am blind to the way she is over-exhausting herself with her overthinking. And the worst part is, I have no idea what are those thoughts that are unsettling her. I want to ask her, and that alone is making me restless. I thought Tiara and I are at a place where the need to question is negligence, we voluntarily say everything to each other. But I think the things happening lately are affecting our

"Fine, let's just put that aside for the moment. Either way, if you want to turn your attention away from him, you just have to find another man who catches your attention and date him. Haven't you heard? Rebounding is the best way to get over a relationship. " "Stop it." I rolled my eyes—she was crazier than I was. "Who do you take me for? Do you think I really have the time to date someone else? Just having that father-and-son pair in my life is making my head hurt! And you know that I'm at a critical phase of my career to worry about that crap!" "Then just be a workaholic," Tina replied, raising a brow. "Work 24/7—you won't even have time to think about him."

I sigh and try to shake it off, but it hovers over me like a cloud, not leaving, no matter how much I try to change my thoughts. "I know you are disturbed," Theo said as he got ready to leave the table. He had stopped talking about it earlier, and I wished he would continue and maybe give me a little advice. He was better with women than I am. I had only been in a relationship for a week before I had to go into hiding, and since then, I had forgotten what the dynamics of relationships were supposed to look like.

I couldn’t even call what we had a relationship, more like an undefined arrangement. Something burned in the back of my eyes and I shut my lids to reel it in. “Just enjoy the ride while it lasts and stop overthinking everything.” I muttered to myself. “It’s how you’ve always done it.” I needed to put an end to the unwarranted and irrational notion of the promise of a real relationship. I didn’t even know when I’d begun to nurture the stupid thought.

"As I ended my talk, I would like to remind everyone of you, don't let these 5 things control you... First...Your past... as it won't keep you going. you can never move on with it. Second...

Treasure your relationship with your people.. respect each one of them.
