Last week I posted in r/ocd about how I did something pretty stupid while driving with my two best friends in the car. I tried to merge lanes, didn’t see the car behind me until they were right next to me, and then quickly swerved back into my lane. The car never honked at me or anything, and they didn’t seem super upset and reassured me when I felt bad.

However, I’ve done two things with my friends since then. One of them doesn’t have a car or a license, so she kinda has no choice but to rely on me for rides. She also reassured me when I felt bad, and said I wasn’t a bad driver. But my other friend, who does have a car and license, has assured me (when I offered her rides) that she can drive herself and it’s okay.

Just today we left my first friend’s house to go to Walmart as a group of four with our other friend. I was gonna drive because I don’t really care, and my friend has expressed a lot of anxiety and worry when driving to places she doesn’t drive herself to often. She parked behind me in first friend’s driveway, so I thought she was just gonna move her car. But, as we were all getting settled into my car, she announced that she could drive us.

I don’t wanna just confront her about this because obviously. But does my friend think I’m a bad driver? Does she think I’m gonna get us into an accident or make another really stupid mistake?
