It's OK because you did not trigger them intentionally. Perhaps they are triggered easily as well. Just acknowledge the feeling inside and of being upset and try to move on by assuming that they still like you anyways (they really might!). I know it may not feel natural but I bet more people like you than you think. You didn't do anything wrong. Maybe your instincts about visiting less are correct? Perhaps you wouldn't feel this way with other people. Maybe instead of suffering, assume the atmosphere might be their fault. Perhaps it isn't just you each and everytime you feel this way.....
