[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. I think about recent conversations a lot but I also sometimes am reminded of awkward or upsetting conversations from years and years ago and can feel intense embarrassment or humiliation as though it is happening to me in the moment. It is the worst.

It happens to me more when I'm under a lot of stress, and it is most likely to happen late at night when I can't sleep. They are definitely intrusive thoughts and they can impact me for days.

One reason I try to be kind and thoughtful towards others is that I recognize that hurtful words can have an outsize impact on others compared to positive or neutral comments. I never want to be the reason someone is up at 2am thinking "Oh my god, why did she say that to me?" Even though I recognize I might have done that unintentionally (and people have definitely misinterpreted things I've said), I think a little thoughtfulness goes a long way.[/quote]

Agreed... I've noticed I do this a lot sometimes and I try to figure out why. I'm just a really chatty, open person and for the most part I do well in social settings. I just hate when I say something awkward or have a weird conversation and can't get over it[/quote]
