Hey guys. I need some advice on how to not care what others think of me. I waste all my energy daily on trying to figure out if people are mad at me…etc. This typically happens at work daily but recently it has made its way into my interactions with my family. For example, if my sister doesn’t  text me back for a couple days, my mind starts racing about what I may of done to make her mad or why she may not want to talk to me. Another recent example of how it’s effecting my family life, my mother invited me to go to the store with her to shop and I said no because I was not feeling the best and I beat myself up about it all day long thinking I made her mad and it got to the point where I got emotional, broke down and apologized for saying no! I don’t understand why I’m like this. I try to tell myself that people have lives and just because they may not be overly friendly to me at work..etc, doesn’t mean I did something wrong to them! Does any one else deal with this type of anxiety? Sometimes I make myself go into a full blown panic attack with racing thoughts of what I did to these people to make them mad at me (even though they aren’t even mad at me in the slightest!) help!
