I was just wondering if it was true that if someone is repeatedly asking you if you are mad at them, that means they are guilty of something? I know someone who has the tendency to ask if I am mad at them for a short period of time every so often even when there is no reason to be mad and everything is fine, leaving me to believe they are guilty of doing something that would normally irritate or annoy me. I sometimes do it too if someone else comes off as mad so I don't know if I just some how come off as mad or annoyed or if at times the other person secretly feels guilty of doing something they shouldn't have done. Just curious. Any thoughts?

I dont think so. Sometimes people project anger and dont realize they are doing it, cauing people around them to ask if they are the reason. I think that its a normal response to certain behaviors.

If one person is consistently asking you if you are mad at them, then it's most likely due to a combination of your behaviours and their insecurities.

You can't change their end of things, but you could try taking a look at yourself closely to see how you are around them - maybe you could find out what might be making them think that you're always mad at them. And then you could try to change that. Or you could always ask them why they think you're mad at them.

Sometimes people who are very sensitive tend to worry if others are upset with them. It does not mean they are guilty. I often worry that others are mad at me as I am people pleaser and am always anxious

I am the same way, tend to worry if people are mad at me but that is usually the result of them acting a certain way rather than feeling guilty that I did something unless I know for sure I did something wrong.

I dont know why someone would keep asking if you're mad at them. I don't think it's out of guilt, but it might be a form of manipulation, and maybe they don't even know they're doing it. Is it just because you two don't talk for a certain period of time? Next time they ask if you're mad at them, ask them why they keep asking that.
