Confusion after interactions

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?

I have warmed to the concept of considering the scenario as a "thought loop" - as opposed to the more medicalised / deficit-origin-based / judgemental-sounding terminology which may sometimes be more usually associated with my Autism experience on this topic!
