Do you ever worry about what other people are thinking? I found myself worried that a friend was upset me because her conversations seemed short and abrupt. When I checked in with her, she shared some difficulties she’s been going through.

It is so easy to take things personally. It’s helpful to check in with others immediately, rather than swirling in worry. I try to remember to tell myself to “get over it” rather than dwell on what other people are thinking. Most of the time, they are too busy to even notice me.
