I acted really weird around a coworker earlier and no I’m constantly ruminating about it. Why am I so freaking weird.

Boy, can I relate to this. Although my memory in general is like Swiss cheese, it seems I can recall every stupid, awkward, embarrassing thing I ever did. And these sorts of memories keep coming back over-&-over without end. I don't know if it's something hereditary or if it's a learned "skill", so to speak.
 One thing that has occurred to me is my parents were masters in the application of guilt & shame. (Perhaps yours too?) Maybe that's what caused me to learn to hang onto every negative experience I ever had while not being able to recall much of anything that was good. (There must have been something good that occurred at some time or other. Mustn't there?) But then, even when I can manage to recall something good, it's inevitably followed up by another one of those not-so-pleasant memories. It's enough to make me want to scream.  Hope you can find a way to let go of your awkward memory.
