I do this too and I think, for me, it’s two parts.
- Neurotic self analysis / self evaluation coupled with
- An actual interaction where I chose poorly that day.
I over evaluate myself generally, so when I do make any mistake socially, my mind will find out on later self analysis and bug me about it.
I find it annoying now and try to dismiss it and go back to sleep. Half the time the thing my mind is fixated on is baseless anyway.
Thanks for taking the time to write that out. I found it really helpful.👍
