My partner says I overthink every serious conversation

Need Advice

Whenever I bring up something serious, my partner says I am overthinking or making a small issue big. I am not trying to fight. I usually want clarity on expectations, plans, or something that hurt me. Because of this reaction, I now hesitate before starting any conversation.\n\nHow do I explain that I need emotional clarity without sounding dramatic or negative?

so the real question is not am i overthinking,insted it is this conversataion taking too much energy,and is exhausting both of you and your partner or leading to more disagreements than agreements,see natural human mind set is run from pain to plessure, so the conversatation which may give pain no one likes, i think you need to give your partner some space and lot of appriciatation, and communicate your feelings with more love, as the ratio should be 7 laughs annd romantic conversation vs one painful one, try this and see how they respond . all the best
