Why do I have a conversation with someone and then go away and dissect what I’ve said wondering if I’ve said the wrong thing. It really is making me so miserable .I don’t intentionally say anything to upset anyone. Please can anyone help,

I suffer from rethinking what I have said after a conversation with someone. As soon as I realise that I am doing it I tell myself I am being re-dic-u-lous (said like that) and make myself move on to think about something else. I also say the same thing to myself when I start catastrophizing.
I hope you can find a way to be easier on yourself - and send you my best wishes x
