Underlying Cause

When confronting any issues/situation/problems, I have the tendency to look into the underlying cause of whatever issues/situation/problems that I may have. This is some sort of a job requirement because our department needs to provide solution for problems that have yet to surface. Most of the time, we need to expect the worst in any given situation and provide a solution for it even if that worst case scenario may not even happen.

Due to this occupational hazard, i tend to over analyze a lot of things in my life. I questioned every single move that anyone close to me makes every single day. This would include my family members, my colleagues etc.

I find that this over analyzing obsession helps me in certain situation but most of the time it creates a lot of doubts. I will keep on asking questions like, why are they so nice to me? Is it genuine or are they like pretending to be nice to me because .... Or, why is she late today? Is the excuse she is giving is legit? Or is she pretending to be sick bla bla bla..

Sometimes, I even over analyze petty things like certain behaviour of certain social media influncer which have no bearing whatsover in my life. I would have thoughts like, are they really crying coz they are sad or are they doing it for the views and the clicks?

When I am talking to my kids, when my kids present me with a story, I would always analyze every single words they said to me. I analyze their actions as well. I try to figure the intention behind every action and every words. Is this a bad thing to do? They are sweet kids. Always trying to pleased me. But, I am the type of person who will get uncomfortable with praises. Am i wrong to over analyzed these kids?
