I am definitely being neurotic here but in my experience I get responses to maybe 1/4 - 1/3 of thank you notes based on past experiences and the responses tend to be warmer if things went well. I had a super day last Friday and have not gotten a single response from the 5 people I emailed. I thought it went really well but now I’m doubting my performance. Am I cooked?

It's hard, but try not to overthink it. I certainly appreciate receiving a thank you note, but I almost never respond to them.
