Why do I dwell on an embarrassing situation for so long?

One morning when I was leaving the house, I saw someone talking to someone else. I thought they were talking to me, so I answered, but it turned out they weren't asking me anything. I felt my face turn red. It was a minor thing, but I can't get it out of my mind. It's been half a month now, and every night before going to sleep, it comes back to me, and I feel my face heating up even when I'm alone. Do you think I have a mental illness?

Oh, I can totally relate to feeling embarrassed about that kind of mixup. Happens to everyone sometimes. It's probably just a case of overthinking it. Try not to let it bother you so much.
It sounds like a simple misunderstanding that anyone could have. Maybe writing down your feelings will help you process and move past it. Don't be too hard on yourself.
Sometimes we dwell on things more than we should. This seems like a common social slipup rather than a sign of mental illness. Just give it time and it'll likely fade from your thoughts.
I wouldn't jump to conclusions about having a mental illness. It might help to talk this over with a friend or family member who can provide some support and perspective.
Embarrassing moments stick with us longer than they should. Perhaps focusing on positive experiences can help shift your mind away from that incident. Try some mindfulness exercises.
