I don’t know why is this happening, but my brain is being a total jerk. My awkward and embarrassing moments are so stuck in my head and keep constantly haunting me, it’s getting really annoying. They just come out of no where, I’m reading or watching TV or trying to sleep and those embarrassing moments keep coming back to me. I mean, some of these things are silly and I know that they don’t really matter all that much and most of them has happened really long ago but they keep haunting me. it seems like all I can remember are the crappy moments. like this one time when some boy bullied me infront of my cousin, or when I snapped and said really hurtful things to my brother. like I had this very close friend during my childhood but my most vivid memory with him is when we had a physical fight. I had lots of good times but when I try to look back, I can only vaguely remember good phases of my life unlike negative ones which come very vividly and keeps coming to my mind without even trying to recall them, almost like an OCD.
I find it much easier to remember times when people have hurt me than good times I had with them. This is really screwing me up and not allowing me to forgive people and come closer to them.
Is this normal? why is it happening and how do I fix it? how do I get over bad memories?
