I fully understand.

I've done the same thing in the past.

Plus the ruminating after a conversation, replaying it, as if I could learn something by reexamining every detail.

I've learned my limit at a party or social gathering is 1 hour. After that I'm toast. I've learned to graciously leave after that. some excuse I have to go, Wonder Woman needs my help, or whatever excuse I cash make up.

Meditation helped me over time. I think if slowly lowered my anxiety.
