just gonna say this: if someone has social anxiety and they ask you something akin to ‘are you mad at me’ or ‘do you hate me’, it isn’t because they don’t trust you, it’s because their brain literally tells them that all the time
it’s not a personal slight, it’s insecurity caused by mental illness

This happens to me. Sometimes I can watch it happening, see the thought slide away when I look. Mostly I don’t even know where it came from, only that I have a sudden feeling of dread or shame and I’m left trying to figure out what I did wrong.
Sometimes I’ll ask, “Did I just make a mistake? Did I do something to hurt you?” And Mr Jnfr looks puzzled and says, “Not that I noticed.” He can’t hear the things in my head. Even I only hear them sometimes, but they float around in the background a lot.
