A thought, when people don't respond the way we think they should or want them to (expectations) it usually brings up some doubts within us. She's mad at me, I did something wrong, She didn't like the joke... All mindreading.
When you know that's happening just stop and ask yourself, "What do I know for a fact?" 1. We've been getting along relatively well. 2. I sent a text I thought was funny. 3. She hasn't responded. Lather, rinse, repeat and go about your day.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
