1. I had a friend and I used to ask him to delete my messages on WhatsApp. Last time I did was perhaps a year ago. But several months ago I tried calling him and he didn’t respond. However he tried calling me back but I didn’t pick up because I was too busy resetting my phone. I think the last message I sent him was “Call me back” or “Delete my messages.” Now I’m feeling paranoid that either of these two messages that I might have sent will land me in trouble in the future. Besides, I want to keep my chats completely clear. So I feel like asking him again. Is that rational?

2. I have a friend and I used to ask him to delete my messages even though he said he doesn’t keep them anyway. But now I feel like asking him again. Is that rational? 

3. There are two friends of mine. I had an Instagram account last year and two years before. I now feel like contacting them and asking them to delete all my chats. I already used to ask them and double check with them multiple times to delete my chats on WhatsApp so much so that I deleted their phone numbers so that I would not call them again. But now I feel like asking them about the Instagram chats. This despite the fact that the thought just occurred to me and didn’t before.

4. I feel like if I do one of any of the aforementioned things, then I’ll have to do all of them. 

Is any of this rational? And if not, what do I do?
