6. You Obsess About Things People Say To You
Everyone experience what might be described as a “slip of the tongue” every once in a while. People say things out of anger or carelessness that they really do not mean and others can easily take offense. Sure, it’s normal to feel a little hurt or angry when someone says something about you that you don’t like. However, if you find yourself obsessing or ruminating all the time about it even when that person sincerely apologizes and you are sure they did not mean what they said, that’s a sure sign that you care too much about what others think. Learn to let things like that go. You’ll be happier in the long run and will probably have better relationships with your friends.
