Do over thinking, embarrassment and anxiety go together?

Last night my teenager told me that a friend, her mom and sister were going to the same restaurant we planned on going to. That mom has been after me for a long time to get together there. So my daughter kept telling me that we have to dine with them. They even texted us telling us they were leaving for the place and we should go too.

So, we get there and ask for a table for 7. We were seated and soon we saw them walk in and they headed for the bar. There they had a reserved booth for 4. The mom had arranged a meeting with another woman.

Turns out the 2 teens just wanted to meet up and didn't understand the situation.

We gave up our table and sat at the bar.

I was sooooo embarrassed. I can't stop thinking about it. I am mad about it too. I just wanted to crawl into a hole.

Now I think my health anxiety comes from the same place of non stop worry and thinking.

Tela,

Yes, over thinking, rumination, sensitivity...all of this goes along with anxiety.

However, I have found the older I get, the less things bother me...so there is an advantage to aging!

This sounds like a simple misunderstanding, so try not to dwell on it. From the sounds of it, you've no reason to be embarrassed...it was just a mix up that happens! ;)

Hope the rest of your weekend goes smoothly!
