An old bad habit

I have an old bad habit that is once again showing it's ugly face. My husband, college roomates, and probably some high school friends will tell you that I had a disgusting habit of worrying that I had done and said things that made people mad at me (or worse to make them not like me) when really there may not be anything wrong at all. Sometimes me worrying about this actually created a situation that was worse than the one I "created" in my head. I was often told that I would "grow" or "age" out of this and not really give a bunk what people thought. The habit had seemed to diminish . Perhaps I did grow out of it. I wasn't quite so self-conscience...that is until recently.


Some recent interactions with friends have me worried all over again! I'm questioning if my actions or words may have upset some people. I'm tempted to offer up some apologies but I'm not even sure what I would be apologizing for. They may not even be upset with/at me but the fear in my mind that they may be has me nervous to the point of near-nausea.


Part of me says just get over it! Another part is concerned that I may have injured a relationship permanently. Part of me cares about that and another part feels like they may have wounded me first and not even realized that I was trying to fire back!


Should I just let this blow over, get over it and try to put this nasty habit back in the box? Will I only make it worse by saying something? Or should I extend an olive branch?

  • Don't be a worry wart. :) You're a beautiful person with good intentions and I would say let it all roll off your back. Be like a duck! As Mickey Blue Eyes would say, "Fogeddaboutit!" Hugs!
