Don’t know if this one has been shared, but I saw it on social media and I feel attacked. Me to a T.... this exact issue

Every sentence can spur so many thoughts for me... For instance, I can feel critical of the way something is described...

bad example,

book: "this thing is bad"

me: "well that's just your opinion, isn't it, author"

and then I go on a long thought train about how people shouldn't state opinions as facts and should think more carefully about their word choices, and then this branches into another thought train about why more people don't get this, which branches into memories of me trying to explain this to other people and them just not getting it, which branches into other memories of me being misunderstood in life, and so on and so on and so on... and the next thing I know, I'm pacing all around the room reflecting on my whole damn life.

meanwhile, 15-30 minutes have passed, and i'm still on the first sentence of the chapter.

...

help me.
