So I have a bad habit with my anxiety occasionally, that if someone thinks I did something, I automatically believe that I did, and then I panic. It's really hard for me to explain, but is this behavior with anxiety normal? Like, the other day a coworker thought I talked shit about him and he got really pissed at me for it and when I said I'm not sure I remember anymore (but at this point I genuinely feel like I didn't) he got mad at me and yelled at me for it. I guess it wasn't that bad, but my coworkers feel he took things too far. But that's not really the point of this post,it's an example of how I act with my anxiety.
Sometimes I overthink things a lot too, like "Will I do this?" or "What if things go wrong?" or "What if I don't treat this person right?" or "Is this who I really am?"
I know a lot of this is anxiety, and honestly, it can be very annoying sometimes. Do other people have this habit because of their anxiety?

it's a thing for me. my verbally abusive dad who is also a stubborn perfectionist, has drilled this mind set into me hence why my anxiety is such a massive problem. i also think im to blame for everything because nothing i do is good enough the first time (according to my dad).

I don't have the issue of believing I've done something I actually haven't, no. But I do worry constantly about messing up or doing the wrong thing in the future.

this is a separate issue from anxiety called “imposter syndrome”, but they do often accompany each other

No, but I have sort of the opposite problem, where I believe that someone did something, even if they may not have, like talking crap about me, or disliking me or something.

I have a slightly different problem. I don't go out, my boyfriend doesn't want to go out with me, every day is like one. I can't remember the last time I went for a walk outside besides going to the store. Probably 2 or 3 months ago, I feel like I'm depressed. I constantly have suicidal thoughts from this life. I think I have a lot of mental health problems. Another impact on my psyche was the death of someone close to me, and also after that my parents stopped communicating with me.
