Someone at work broke my trust by signing in my name and putting food on my hotel room bill. Even though they apologized and returned the money after I found out what they did, I could never see them again no matter how nice they were.

Today this person texted me out of the blue saying some nonsensical stuff and at some point I started overthinking and decided to delete the entire conversation. As a result, this person did the same. In person everything was fine but I told them "You scare me". "I thought you would screenshot our conversation and send it to someone".

I just can't go back to being "the same" with someone once they break my trust. I know no one is perfect, but still. No matter how much I try to trust them again, it just doesn't work and now suddenly everything they say sounds like BS.

Especially if it involves stuff like taking advantage of the fact that I am chill and kind, my trust with them is gone forever.

Hi guys.

By nature I tend to think a lot. But once in a while my thinking spikes into overthinking. Leading to a loop where I am overthinking things people said, going deep down the rabbit hole into possibilities. Especially things like people ignoring me when they see me. I tend to say hi to everybody but if someone ignores me I already take it as "I don't like you". Usually, 90% of the times I don't care what people think about me. But then once in a while I start thinking about how the crowd as a whole perceives me, for example, the collective of coworkers and it spirals into those thoughts of "what if they think I am strict and they don't trust me or like me because of that". Or "what if someone is gossipping about me?" Even though I have dozens of colleagues who like me and say positive things about me. Even hearing one person saying something negative about me can make me feel anxious sometimes.

Do you also deal with this sometimes?
