I think that all the time too. Unless I'm drunk and hypomanic - which case I think I'm one of the greatest people alive. haha. But that's certainly not my normal state of mind.

I also have the "Do I look like an idiot right now? I'm sure I look like an idiot. I am horrible at this! They must think I'm useless because I can't even do XYZ. Did I just say that? What if they think I was insulting them? Am I talking too much - is it annoying them? I'm sure it's annoying them. Do they think I'm mad at them because I'm being quiet? What should I say?" etc etc.

Those thoughts always go through my head. I remind myself constantly that those are my thoughts, and my insecurities. Unless someone says to me "Panda, you're talking a lot!" then I remind myself that I cannot read their minds and thus shouldn't make assumptions about them.

Of course, when they say anything at all that can even be slightly interpreted in a negative view, it consumes and I sorta shut down and get out of the situation as soon as possible. hahah.
