I've been thinking about this for a few days now since you commented this. I honestly think you might be right and it's a kind of stunning realization for me.
I feel like it's really present in my romantic relationships. There's a lot of times I awkwardly handled things or caused something to veer off in a bad direction. Even now I'm still really bad for asking people I date if they're mad at me whenever they're upset and I don't know why for example
Ah that’s another thing that I get caught in, too. Someone will be mad at me, and I can tell, but I have no idea what I’ve said or done to cause that.
So I can recognize the emotion, but I am blind to the impact of my own behavior.
