Why wouldn't I be?

I asked someone if they were ok because the last few times I talked to them they seemed a little distant. Their response was "Why wouldn't I be?" Now, my question is am I over-thinking/analyzing things and that was just a normal response or is there something wrong? (Of course you can't tell from only that info, but I would like a little feedback.) I am quite destructive in relationships and I am not as nice as I should be. In addition, I tend to over-think things waaay too much, and because of that I think I come across weird and clingy. What kind of response would you want from me if you were in the other person's shoes?

I was thinking of responding something like "Oh, you just seemed a little different so I was wondering. Maybe it was me."

Thanks for helping the worrier. :/

Speaking as an ex worry-wart myself, you were probably over-thinking the situation. I used to do that all the time when I was younger. If the person in the incident was a guy then you for sure were over-analyzing. For the most part, guys are straight forward and will tell you what they're thinking. Usually (not always), we females are the ones that beat around the bush and aren't assertive. My best advice would be to just relax and have a bit more confidence in yourself.  

Thank you for your reply. :) I have done so much to improve my confidence and be more relaxed; I'm learning Do you think my response was ok? I want to sound confident and not like it is an issue or something I'm thinking a lot about, if that makes sense.

Honestly, I don't think you need a response. If there's something wrong then he will tell you. If not, it's all gravy. No need to press and push...by doing that then there will be a problem! Speaking from experience here  

Good luck!

No response or "Ok" and move on.

It depends on the person.

Personally, if I am sad/angry/hurt by something someone did, I sometimes won't say anything. For example, if my boyfriend unknowingly says a comment that offended me, then I will get angry, but stay silent. He will ask, "Babe, are you okay?" and I'll reply, "Yep, fine." He'll have to go through the entire range of emotions -- sad, angry, pissed, moderately mad, etc.-- until he gets the right one. I'm working on this, but I still struggle expressing my emotions.

If it is a person that you do not know well, stop after asking once. If you still really feel that they are not okay and want to further investigate, explore areas of their lives by asking not-too-personal questions. "So how is your family/boyfriend/roommate/etc.? What did you do this weekend? How is school/work?"
