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.
