I know carrying this guilt is so unnecessary 😕, especially when I haven’t done anything wrong! But I can’t help it, and it might sound insane to some of you like, “Why am I even stressing about this?” 😅 Well, let me break down what happened.

So, there’s this girl, let’s call her XYZ, who sits next to me in class – we’re benchmates. All of us were asked to reach a place about 15 kms away from college tomorrow, on our own. Initially, XYZ had said in the WhatsApp group that she wouldn’t be going, so I said YES to going with another girl, ABC. But then, a thought struck me 🤔 – I should inform XYZ personally too, just to be polite, you know?

So, I messaged her:
“Since you’re not going tomorrow, I’ll be going with ABC.”

And guess what her response was? 😳
“You never asked me if I was coming or not. I’m actually figuring out how to go, and since it’s mandatory, I’ll definitely be there!”

I was like 🤯, WHAT?
So, I replied, “But you said NO in the group?”

Then she goes, “Oh no, I was just saying it’s far away”, and followed it up with: “But you go with ABC, I’ll manage my own commute.”

At that point, my guilt kicked in 😬, and I offered to go with her instead, telling her I’d tell ABC no if she didn’t have anyone to go with. And here’s the kicker – she already had her flatmate to go with and didn’t even bother to tell me! 😒

So, why on Earth am I still feeling guilty?! 😔 Like, should I have asked her personally from the start? Was I rude? I’m overthinking, aren’t I?
