This is definitely anxiety. I have generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety; I've been through a lot of it, and I still do. Today I'm much better, but I still suffer a lot from social anxiety. Regarding thinking about things, I've learned that we should only think about today, about the present moment; tomorrow is another day. I know it's easy to say, but that's how it works. I have few friends; I know how to interact with people, but I'm very introverted. This makes me quieter and more reserved, and that's okay, I've accepted that it's my way, or rather, my disorder. Go to a doctor; it will help.
