Lately I have been obsessing over everything I’ve done to make sure I haven’t done anything to “betray” someone or hurt someone’s feelings. Starts as intrusive thoughts then before I know it I’ve spent days ruminating over the same situation. Punishing myself just in case I did do something wrong. No matter how much people tell me I didn’t, I still punish myself or have panic attacks about it. Is this a part of the lack of identity or difficulty majoring relationships? Anybody else?

      I get this, too. Because of how I was raised, it's been ingrained in me to make sure I never do wrong by anyone and always do my best to be useful to them. That's where those intrusive thoughts come from for me, maybe it's something similar for you?

        @kittycrime hi! Thanks so much for replying! Ugh that makes a lot of sense! For sure I grew up in a dysfunctional family unit where not-making a mistake meant staying safe. Shame for me is almost a survival skill I just never grew out of I guess. But man am I tired of feeling physically sick with fear that I may have risked screwing someone over literally over a year ago!
