Shikhar,
I just read your post and wanted to say I could relate to many things you mentioned. You are aware of a lot of things about yourself and you are trying to figure it all out. I overthink things a great deal and the only thing that has helped me to get out of my head and obsessing over something is to remind myself at those times to check in with how I am feeling in my body and to put my focus on sensations and trying to describe them to myself in detail….I come out of my head and start to feel calmer and balanced and then I find I can approach something using both my head and heart and not just one or the other. I find I too think of “ME ME ME” a lot, just like you do and everyone else around us does….but, doing inner work is not selfish, and when you feel balanced you will have the energy to think of others more. Just don’t beat yourself up cause that just creates a miserable ME!
Blessings!
