Friendships and OCD?

Literally every single time I text a friend or hang out with them I’m scared I did something really wrong but not only scared I’m like completely sure of it I just never know what I did. I end up rethinking every scenario to find out what I did wrong and I end up like changing the memories in my mind just slightly even just the tone of my voice when I said something and all I can think about is “they hate me” “I’m a terrible person” “now I’m gonna lose them” etc. and it’s so exhausting. Idk what to do anymore it’s just getting worse. Could this all be an OCD thing?

I’m in the same boat! I feel for ya, it’s really tough. I’ve found that for me it’s a combo of childhood trauma as well as having ocd makes me latch onto social things and compulsively review my words, behavior, conversations, feelings, and how I’m perceived. It’s really hard but I think the best thing you can do is to practice self compassion. Meditation has helped me a lot with that, like Tara brach meditations or any compassion based meditation.
