Have you ever been paranoid or obsessed over people noticing something, only to find out that they never even would have thought about it until you brought it up? It can be something as silly or trivial as as stain on your clothing or the fact that your house isn't spotless when you have company. This happens to me all the time. For example, say i spill something on my shirt at lunch and it leave a stain. I know the stain is there and it makes me feel like people are going to look at me and think i am a slob or something, but then later in the day, i talk to a friend and mention the fact that i have been fretting about this stain on my shirt, only to have them say "wow, i didn't even notice it was there until you pointed it out" Or say you have people come to your house for a visit and you don't have time to throughly clean before they arrive. When they show up do you start right off with "Hi! welcome! Come on in, excuse my mess though, i didn't have time to (insert some chore such as getting dishes done or getting the floor vacuumed) before you arrived" , when if you hadn't said anything and just invited them in, they woudln't even have noticed if you didn't vaccuum or what not. Just wondering if anyone else out there has ever run into this problem, basicly not being able to keep your mouth shut and bringing attention to your problems, instead of just not caring about them and hoping for the best.
