Why do I over-think myself sometimes

[Sherlock77]

So... I just finished up a temp contract where a "whole bunch of people" built lots of pods for a robotics warehouse, I worked for four months as a material handler (I think I was too clumsy to put pods together, I'm pretty sure )

It was an American company doing a Canadian contract, and I got lots of excellent comments from my American supervisors

Fast forward, the same agency put me on a new warehouse contract, been working it for two days, and suddenly we were told to take a day off (tomorrow) and then come in on Friday... They didn't really give a reason, anyway, conversing with one of the staff members at the agency tonight, the warehouse is really happy with my work so far, apparently just wanted to set things up better for some proper training... While I was a wee bit concerned... And this is a contract for hire, if I put in the hours they usually hire people on...

I had mild anxiety over what happened this afternoon, slight concern

So why must I over-think things, when not everything is what I "think" it looks like, and now I feel a little embarrassed for perhaps saying too much... But it sounds like everything is okay...

I haven't looked at this specifically as far as studies or the literature goes, but my impression is that over thinking is so common as to almost be standard practice for people on the spectrum. It may also go hand in hand in some way with anxiety, which is also as common as dirt with us.
