I feel guilty if I am not nice to someone , if I am not patient enough. The overthinking afterwards it’s exhausting.

What helps me is remembering that other people probably don’t overthink interactions as much as I do. It’s hard to always be perfectly patient with people, and it’s okay to lose some patience sometimes as long as you’re not damaging relationships. What I do to keep patience is I try to think about things the way the person I’m talking to does and see things from their point of view. That way even if I don’t agree, I at least understand them and feel less frustrated.
