i have a guyfriend and we're really close and all (like really close) except whenever i tell him something just randomly, he says i am overreacting / overanalyzing the situation.
it really pisses me off. it's just my personality. i don't want to tell him to stop because then he'll never tell me when i am actually overanalyzing something and he'll just be thinking it. i'd rather he be honest, but it's just annoying.
what should i do? should i just not tell him stuff... ? it just hurts cause like. it's just how i am. i'm a girl. girls overanalyze everything.

I don't know what type of a person you are, or whether you would be comfortable talking in person, but usually that is the best way to go. Talking in person is much more honest and I would honestly tell him whatever is on your mind.. I guess in this case it would just be that it is hurtful and annoying to you when he is constantly telling you that you are overanalyzing anything and it is just you being you. If he wants a fake girl then I am sure there are plenty that he can find out there. I think you should start being more open with eachother and try talking about things that you don't normally talk about with eachother so maybe you can get to know eachother/understand eachother a bit more. I would ask him why he feels this way. If it is your personality then you should not have to change your ways for him so either find a way to try to compromise with him or break up. I know nearly nothing about each of you but maybe this has something to do with a trust issue? If so, communication is definitely key here and you should definitely take my advice above and talk more.. especially about things you don't normally talk about. I know that girls like to always know where a guy is, and some of them even blow up the guys phone every 5 minutes wondering where he is. If he is getting upset about that, he is probably right. You should have enough trust in him to let him do what he wants and not have to worry about whether he is cheating on you. However, he needs to earn that trust and you will only get that if you raelly get to know him better. Also, I do agree that all girls DO overreact/overanalyze things so he should be prepared to find that in girls. They are also very dramatic and some are pathalogical liars, is he going to point that out to them every single time they do something of their own nature? Just a thought.

Well, do you ever ask him 'How am I over analyzing/ overreacting?'. Maybe he can give you some reasons that can help you tune it down. I'm sure it'll help. And if he's always annoying with those words, I'm sure this another friend you can talk to. Some people don't like hearing drama, others don't mind. Good luck
