Thanks, I was in an overanxious/triggered state and was mostly concerned with the "social" OK-ness. Taking care of others. Which I ended up doing in that post anyway, actually. So if I hadn't been so overanxious I might not have been triggered by what I perceived as someone else's anxiety which I jumped in to take care of!!!
At least I had the sense, somewhere in the back of my mind, that something was a little "off", though I didn't know it at the time. I've processed it now, though I may/likely will do the same thing sometimes (jump in to take care of others) when triggered again. And people can just ignore it or tell me if they are uncomfortable, you are exactly right, I think so, too, anyway!!
Main takeaway from this experience is better info about my overanxiety. Would be tough to have endured or engaged in it in real life.
And I am very anxious when I am with my daughter these days because I "ran her off" before and she wouldn't talk to me, or even rage at me so that I knew what it was I was doing that made her uncomfortable or hurt or anything. Thanks for everything you wrote in response to that, very empathetic and I appreciate it, feel warm about it.
