I have a tendency to do that with silence too, Tabitha. And with a lot of other things as well. I tend to see rejection just about everywhere.
I do think that's one area where therapy has helped a bit. My therapist has patiently worked with my automatic thoughts in that area. I still feel that way, but then force myself to correct those thoughts and try again. Well, sometimes anyway. And sometimes is better than I used to do.
But I think I've substituted it with extra sensitivity to rejection from my therapist. I tell you Tabitha, this stuff is really like Whack the Mole. Fix one thing and another thing pops up. I think I'm preprogrammed for a certain amount of neuroticism.
Well, today's another day and I'm going to try again.
