    A: “Oh hey you got a little choc on the side of your mouth”

    B: “Oh, thanks”

    B (in their head): “Oh no, how embarrassing. How can I face A again? Time to avoid them for the rest of eternity.”

      Do you do that? As I said I really can’t imagine this scenario. I feel like I should… I feel like I’m tunnel visioned or just have VERY little life experience now. Do some ppl really react that way? If yes, why!?

      Everyone I know (and me) will just forget about it in 5s or be thankful. Even you said that B’ll thank them, but I (think…) I can tell the difference between an honest thanks and a fake one.

      Is this some mental health thingy, like anxiety or something? Or “fear of having a friend looking out for you”?

        I don’t do this myself, but I know people who have expressed similar worries.
