How to stop thinking about social interactions?

[flappyfoofoo]

Earlier today for example, I didn’t realise there was a queue for something so went to be served. Someone snapped that there was a queue so I apologised and joined it.

Now I’ve been replaying this in my head ALL day.

Or if I am chatting to someone, and I say something which might be construed two ways, I’ll worry all day they thought I meant it in the bad way!

It's just a minor embarrassment. We all go through these oh fuck moments!

You apologised if they can't accept it that is their problem.

Own it, recognise it and move on.

You just have to style it out sometimes and no harm done!

Check out how you are feeling when the thoughts are replaying as you are probably feeling something but not giving it attention. So your feeling is trying to get attention by effecting your thoughts.
Whatever you feel, feel it. Be OK with it. Don't judge it. It's fine to feel embarrassed. It's fine to feel awkward. It's fine to feel socially inadequate. But you have to feel those things to move on from them. Otherwise they get stuck and then make you over think.

You seem to be prioritising the other person’s POV over your own. You made an honest mistake in the queue and apologised — you know this, so why is the other person’s momentary annoyance with an apparent queue jumper worthy of a moment’s thought? And you didn’t say anything negative, so why give any headspace to someone else’s possible interpretation?

I mean, you are your own main character, so why situate yourself as a peripheral one to someone who almost certainly hasn’t given you a thought?
