Confusion after interactions

TismTisnt

I’d like to just ask a question please. 
After I have interacted with ANYONE, I come away unsure how it went and feeling like I want to go back over some of the conversation with them. To check what each interaction meant and to clarify what I meant because their comments or actions left me feeling misunderstood. Is this autism? Do others experience this? Is there anything I can routinely do to stop the lengthy mental torture of it keep coming back in my mind trying to work out the truth & facts and feel ok?

  • Ditto for me, quite often replay conversations and try and evaluate how things went, where I went wrong, what should I have said or maybe not said....yes I can spend a lot of time. Even though I tell myself what is done is done, I still go back to it....not really found a way to manage it but find it does eventually go away in time...at least that particular conversation.Although they sometimes resurface randomly for another go around.....

    Hahaha exactly like that! Drives me mad. Really helps me to accept and let go somewhat to know it is because I am autistic. 
    ‘another go round’ hahahaha that’s so funny. Exactly what happens.
