Every plan that falls through, every text that goes unanswered for a few hours or days, is cause for alarm, even when things are otherwise great between you and the other person.
"It can be stressful for friends to feel that they have to second-guess every communication to ensure you don't worry," said Anna Poss, a Chicago-based therapist and owner of Modern Solutions Counseling.
"Assuming that a person's changed behavior is your fault is personalizing something that potentially has nothing to do with you," Poss told HuffPost.
"Life can sometimes be overwhelming, especially during a pandemic, so not all changes in behavior are a sign of someone being upset with you."
