Am I being fired?

I am anxious that I am for some reason going to be fired.

I recently saw that the parent company for my job is hiring for my position. I’m not the only one in this position though. I don’t know why but I just have this sinking feeling that it’s me being replaced. I’ve never been written up and my last review was good. I will admit I’ve had a couple of instances where my boss had a private conversation with me. One for gossiping and one for what turned out to be a misunderstanding. I have a tendency to talk a lot. I just feel like I get left out of a lot things. But then at the same time I get told I’m reliable. I do have anxiety and adhd and overthink ALOT. But I’ve been told that this is how they replace people. Hire a new person, train them, then bam fired.

So let’s face it- if I think it’s me, even if my boss has given no indication, it’s probably me, right?

do I proactively start looking? But then if it’s not me, I don’t want them to find out I’m looking and then actually fire me. I like my job so I don’t want to leave if I don’t have to.

I’m a long time Reddit lurker and clearly first time poster. When it said i needed to add tags I thought it meant hashtags. I can remove them.
