I hate how much I care about how people perceive me. Not in a physical sense, but in a mental sense. I hate people thinking I’m a bad person (not many do) but if I say a joke I’m worried that I just ruined my reputation. Is that social anxiety?

it sounds like you’re ruminating over every small thing you do and you’re unreasonably scared of how people in your life will view you. i have similar feelings around being “cancelled” what made me think this was leaning more towards ocd and not social anxiety is your thoughts are surrounding people’s moral perception of you. this is a subtype of ocd known as moral ocd
