View Full Version : The most important thing ever- or at it feels that way.

Do you ever feel like what you are doing is so incredibly important that you just aren't doing it fast enough, or well enough or anything enough?

For example: I was playing a game on my phone where you have to identify company logos and one of them I have no idea so I googled it. Well this lead me to a wikipedia article about Abercrombie and fitch and their legal issues and I felt like reading this article was the single most important thing I could ever or would ever do. My body was reacting. My chest was getting tight and I was getting nervous and my nerves were firing at warp speed and it just felt so big.

It was a wikipedia article. About Abercrombie and fitch. Not that important to my life at all. I don't even own anything from that store. And yet here I am stressing out about this article and it's significance to the universe.

This happens fairly often and I have no idea why. I will be doing something not even the least bit significant in the long run and suddenly it's like my life depends on that one thing. Tetris. Reading a book. Tumblr. It's not like I'm finding a cure for any disease or cracking the secrets of the universe. It's tetris. Calm down. But I can't. I just get so wrapped up in the (perceived) significance of what I'm doing that I can't stop.

Does this happen to anyone else? I don't even know if I'm describing it properly. Sorry if it doesn't make sense!!

Yes! Totally!

I'm not sure if it's the same...maybe mine isn't quite as you describe. I get very emotionally involved in things. Which can be quite embarrassing. I went through of phase of being distraught about Pompeii. I get very focused and emotional and it feels so important that I can't understand why no one else is reacting with such feeling.

I have no idea how to deal with it, but I think I know what you are talking about at least!
