How do I stop over- analyzing people?
I sit and think up various theories as to why someone is acting a certain way, and even when I come up with 2 likely theories, I have to keep going constantly. I know there is no point in reading into what people do or say, I can't change it nor will it benefit me but I'm so obsessed with not reading too far into something that someone says that I've ended up becoming obsessed with not taking things the wrong way and I don't know how to stop

Bear in mind that every time you "analyze" someone, you are analyzing them based on yourself, based on your experiences, based on how you process things, etc. You are not basing the analysis on THEM.
In other words. . . you can take two random people, put them in the exact same situation, and you will get two entirely different outcomes. Because each person goes into the situation completely different than the other. And they process the situation completely different than the other. Neither outcome is right nor wrong, it is simply based on two completely different individuals.
Why not turn the analyzing upon yourself? Learn how you are responding to situations, how you are processing situations, etc.
