Hey, y'all.

I have a lot of difficulty enjoying experiences due to over analysis in the moment. For example when a friend tells a good joke that makes me laugh and about a second into laughter I'm asking myself with sincerity "why am I really laughing? if this is a means of bonding, shouldn't we be more thoughtful? or maybe genuine relationships should be totally organic." etc. and then I'm no longer laughing and the moment has passed. I'm not trying to jerk myself because I'm so thoughtful. I rarely come to any helpful conclusions and its mostly annoying and restrictive to my being able enjoy normal human activities. I want to be able to just "go with the flow" or whatever.

Will philosophy help me this or exacerbate it?
