Hiya @bignosegirly0

I don’t think you’re overthinking, your worries are valid!

It’s okay to mishear people in conversations especially as they can be quite fast to process, have you spoken to your friends about potentially mishearing what they have said?

I’m sure they will understand or won’t think anything of it

Thank you for sharing

@bignosegirly0 , Hey there thank you for sharing this so openly! It can feel vulnerable sometimes to post something we're nervous about, and you're doing really well to talk about this.

I'd like to echo Rose's message here and to say that mishearing people in conversations can be really common.

I also wonder if there's room for checking in with your colleagues to clarify what they meant?

It can feel really anxiety-inducing sometimes when we don't know what the outcome of a situation will be and I hear your mind racing anhd you worrying that maybe people might assume the worst of you. How are you taking care of yourself at this time? What do you find most helpful when you feel anxious?

Already messaging here to open up about this and get things off your chest is such a positive step!
