Feeling anxiety about past encounters?

Hi Im new to this website (even as I type this i feel a tinge of some sort of anxiety, even the internet isnt refuge i guess). I was wondering if anyone has any experience with feeling strong anxiety about a past social encounter. I visited my old high school (i have lots of friends still there) and it has been awhile since then and when i think of it i get really anxious (the usual signs) i feel like i did something wrong or I upset someone or i looked stupid. Does anyone else ever feel that way, where a past encounter will continue to bother you for a long time? I constantly am looking for reasons i feel anxious interpreting people's reactions and such.
Thanks

All the time... my mind plays over key events which I think are a crucial part of my anxiety. I wish I could clear out my brain like you can a computer. Delete, delete and empty the trash bin. I think I would be cured over night if I could do that.

u r not alone.........

hey same problem with me . i keep regretting past social events where i made a fool of myself but yes with time one forgets.train ur mind to recollect only happy moments & let go the troubling ones[i know its easy 2 say but difficult implementing]....... :roll: what do u have 2 say?reply PEACE

Yep, same thing happens to me. I worry about what they might say about the last time I saw them but when I actually go through with seeing the person or people again it isn't that bad.

I do the same thing. I go over things I have said and done. And worry that it has offended someone, or hurt their feelings, or it was bold, or rude, or thoughtless. I worry that people think I am an idiot, or fake for things I have done. I also think that people don't want to be my friend after I have said certain things... And all that junk.. upon a hundred other things!

I still think about things i've said or done years ago and feel regret. These can be really innocuous things i've said that in reality no one else would ever remember. I know how irrational it is to regret things you've said years ago, i mean i can't remember what anyone said to me yesterday so the chances of people remembering what i said years ago are not high especially when it is usually not even anything particularly memorable.

I always relive every social thing i go to over and over in my mind. I wish i had selective memory loss.

yeah i feel like that all the time. i hate over-analyzing and always criticizing myself on what I did when talking to people. i also take things a little too personally and that people i talk to feel the way they feel because of me (mostly on negative stuff). i'm slowly but surely learning to mostly focus on the positives, learn from the negatives, and not take things too personally (wow, i just sounded like a kids show).

I worry about stupid things for years. There are even a few things that I did before I had SA that at the time b/c I didn't have SA I didn't care at all or have anxiety over them but now I do. Some of this stuff happened over 10 years ago and the chance of anyone remembering is so slim but I still worry.

I'm forever doing that. Some things that I remember from when I was like, in grade 2, others from just a few weeks ago. I know that other people don't remember these things as much as I do of course, but I can't help but go over them in my head at times.
