You had dinner with your girlfriends. It was a fun night. You laughed a lot, as usual, and even put a date on your calendars for the next night out. Later that night, as you wash your face before bed, something you said at dinner comes back to you. You noticed it at the time but didn’t think much of it, and the uneasy feeling quickly passed. Now you’re replaying the interaction and wondering whether you came across as rude. Did you interrupt someone? You know you tend to do that. Was the joke you told actually funny? What was that look on one friend’s face? Was she irritated that you asked about her marriage?
