Yes, I automatically think I have done something wrong or made someone mad. I get extremely high anxiety on this and sometimes I have panic attacks when I think I've made someone mad. I work on this to reality check myself back to normal. But, it isn't easy to un-learn. It takes a lot of hard work to get rid of those unwantd thoughts and fears.
