This scenario:

Girl: I'm a bit worried about you being a bit distant *at a certain time*, was there something wrong?

Guy: Yes, but it wasn't about you. There's no need to worry about anything, you have no idea how much I like you.

Girl: Okay but I'm just worried about if I did something wrong.

-------------------

So what does this mean?
That she only cares about herself - and if she's still being admired?

I've had situations like this multiple times. But I'm realizing that I'm being a bit stupid by reassuring her about my own assumption of what she might be worried about, unaskedly.

Anyone experienced this?

She sounds a little insecure. Maybe your distance shook her up some. Would have been nice if she asked if you were okay or if you feel better now or if you got everything worked out that needed to be worked out. Maybe she felt like you would volunteer it if you wanted to talk about it or if you wanted her to know.

She is probably feeling insecure because you are not sharing enough to give her peace of mind. Women have a dangerous sense of imagination. Depending on how much you care for her, you should probably reassure her by explaining a bit of why you feel the way you do. That's my advice.

My boyfriend has his phases and he alerted me to them. I forgot about that aspect of him until it suddenly manifested itself. I, too, felt a bit insecure and concerned. I communicated openly with him, and he was wonderful about letting me in. He ended up picking me up and we went for a long walk together - focusing on everything and nothing in particular. So many things may be handled if open communication and love are embraced. With that comes understanding and trust. I wish you the best.

The EQ of dxp must be at an all time low. This has nothing to do with insecurity smh.

What world we live in, when someone giving a shit and making sure they ask again since there are many people out there who reply "NOTHING!" to a "What's wrong?" question just to keep a grudge because there's obviously something wrong, is seen as insecure.

If only more people would manage to give a shit and display the level on "insecurity" this chick did...the dating world wouldn't be so confusing/

I suppose the "EQ" IS at an all time low...It's not about her asking what was wrong, it's about her worrying that she might have done something wrong and been the cause - the source. Generally, when one member of the couple worries they "did something wrong," it's due to miscommunication or lack of communication. Failure to communicate leads to insecurity because a person left in the dark has no choice but to guess. Insecurity is anxiety and uncertainty about oneself - it's not a dirty word. I feel that the more someone cares about another, the more they are concerned about inadvertently hurting them.

I'm with @Damnata on this one. I don't see an insecure girl looking for your admiration. I see a person trying to keep the lines of communication open between you two.

You say "I've had situations like this multiple times"...

and..."There's no need to worry about anything, you have no idea how much I like you."

She has no idea how much you like her because you haven't shown her. I think if you open up a bit more and communicate you won't have this issue.

It doesn't need to be dramatic declarations of your feelings either. Just a quick text here and there, a 'goodnight' call before bed, etc. Don't go ghost on people, give a little to get a little.
