Worrying for others

Is this something you do? I was at a family event today and spent most of the time doing other people's worrying for them. I worried about their problems (or my perception of their problems) and I worried about how they interacted with each other and whether they were having a good time or not. I was neither the host nor the guest of honor.

I felt like I was just absorbing everyone's worry, because I'm scared that their worries will make them unable or unwilling to support me in my current crappy situation.

And now I feel gross having tied myself into knots with my neurosis and control freakery. It''s exhausting being afraid.
