Is it normal to think about this daily?

A few months ago, I was sitting by my friend on a bench, and as we were talking I went to put my hand on his knee and accidentally touched his thigh instead. It wasn’t super high up, but I felt horrible about it because I didn’t want to make him uncomfortable. I didn’t even notice, until he started looking down at my hand looking anxious. I didn’t say anything because I was nervous and just took my hand away.
Later that afternoon I messaged him and apologized for it and he just seemed really confused about what I was apologizing for. I still think about it everyday and I feel horrible.

    It may have been a mistake, but you're only hurting yourself by obsessing over it.

    You sound like an anxious overthinker. It was an accident, and you apologized. Give yourself permission to move on. When it comes to mind, try reframing the way you think about it and the way you talk to yourself. Instead of something like “oh my gosh I can’t believe I did this” Think “It happened, but no harm was done and I don’t have to think about this anymore”.

    At least you didnt do it on purpose, and they seemed not too bothered either. I think you should stop obsessing over it, maybe learn for the future if anything
