Overthinking things

Does anybody else do this?

I will often go over things I've done and said in my head trying to work out whether that was the right thing to do or the thing people expect you to do.

When I'm going over things I will often worry that I've offended someone or I might think about a situation I was in and become convinced that I offended or annoyed this person or that person.

There have even been instances where I know I have upset someone because they or someone else has told me (even though I might not have a clue why it was offensive) and then I will go over it in my head trying to figure out how I should have handled it.

Am I just talking crap again?

I think this is a normal thing everyone does, but taken to extremes with ASD because a lot of reactions and situations aren't natrual.

Do you have anyone you can ask in real life if you did the right thing?
I've been known to ask questions about what my reraction should have been in certain situations here on the forum.
