> I also got flustered when they kept asking for my address (I wasn’t involved) This is entirely reasonable. 1) Its a stressful situation 2) Your home address is irrelevant to the situation. But because they're asking, you assume they think its relevant[1]. So you're subconsciously worried that they are going to show up at your house because of the miscommunication. 3) You can't quite consciously put your finger on why you want them to stop thinking about your home address because its a stressful situation.
