What? I'm not supposed to spend every waking moment assuming I've done something wrong and that my friends secretly hate me?

For the anxious people like me. I started doing this thing where I ask once but I have to accept the answer they give me. It’s helped tremendously. Some times things are actually wrong and they aren’t ready to talk about it or a million other things but I can show I care by asking but it’s also important to show that you trust them by listening. It was rough at first but it did wonders for my relationships and anxiety.

not all communication is verbal though, that's what people are missing.

Communication is not just verbal. If my friend is acting weird I will notice and I will ask about it. I will not automatically assume its about me tho.

I assumed nothing was wrong because I asked him and he told me nothing was wrong.

I "broke up" with an old friend because he started avoiding me and acting weird, I continued to act normally, asking to meet, but hitted with "I'm busy sorry". So, months later I discover from another of my friend that he was angry for something I did, but he wouldn't tell me because "I should know" and he refuses to talk to me until I ask for forgiveness. Over something I still don't know. And he won't tell. So, we aren't close anymore. I'm sorry but if you want an apology you should be at least tell me what I need to apologise about.

assuming something is wrong until told otherwise is anxiety

I had a girl break up with me over a phone call the same day we were supposed to go out. Then she got upset that I wouldn’t ask her to explain herself and I told her, whatever her reason was, if she wanted to be with me then she would’ve talked to me before dumping me. If you’re dumping me without an opportunity to discuss or correct behavior/expectations in the relationship first, then whatever the problem was isn’t my business 🤷🏻♀️

My therapist told me that if someone wont communicate their problem to me, its not my job to fix it, and I live by that.

It's the correct approach to a certain degree. Observation and body clues are also part of our social interaction. I would say you should observe and read social clues BUT not rely inherently on them and to also verbally communicate. I think it's about founding the right balance.

Further, if they tell everyone but me I pretend like it doesn’t exist until they bring it up to me personally

I have BPD and honestly to save my own mental health this is the attitude I have to take. If you don’t tell me it’s either not the case or not my business.

100% too many people have gotten upset at me either because I didn't realize they were upset, or because I told them directly something that upset me. like, that's how it's SUPPOSED to work!

Obviously if you notice something is wrong, you should ask them in a private situation. But if they don't tell you then it's definitely not your problem.
That's what I do, Goldilocks zone. My friends are healthy enough to communicate, or at least tell me when I ask.

Sydney! This video found me at the perfect time! I needed to hear this since my gum crush sometimes waves warmly and sometimes half-heartedly. I am going to assume nothing is wrong until he communicates it

I always tell my friends that unless someone tells me that we have a problem,there's no problem. I will not go around stressing about people who refuse to communicate

I do communicate what bothers me and it’s dismissed and then later there is wonder why I’m upset 🤷🏻♂️

Also like. They might not be ready to talk about it? Or just be in a bad mood so why bring it up?

I mean it's nice if you know someone enough to be able to understand when they have a problem but it's not a responsibility it's just a nice thing

While I agree, if it’s concerning someone you care about and you know they’re not acting like themselves, you should def reach out and make sure everything’s okay. With strangers/coworkers, yah no I’m not gonna approach them about anything lol

The real Recoome! :
I used to have a lot of trouble with anxiety, mostly because of how volatile my parents where. At some point in high school I just decided "they're problem, they want me help they'll ask." and they anxiety is so much better now
